GB Pro V2
https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/f ... romLogin=1That is the list of locations, then you need a few libraries of scenery objects for it to place.

I wanted to have buttons in roughly the right place (well not just on a joystick or a keyboard) for practicing procedures. Saitek have been very shrewd when it comes to the selection of functions you get on each of their devices - I didn't really want the autopilot stuff, but they handily stuck the trim wheel and flap lever on the side of it.
The Radio is handy as you can set pretty much all of your avionics through it - The single instrument I bought to get the VOR display and adjustment. It also does a handy EFIS screen which is good for older aircraft models that don't have a 3D cockpit.

The PC is a PC Specialist pre-built unit that was on offer at PC World - I did look at scratch building but I haven't done that in a decade or two and when I was pricing it up, it was cheaper to buy pre-built.
Intel i7-8700 @ 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, NVidia Geforce GTX 1070
Saitek Yoke, throttle quadrant, pedals. Switch panel, Multi panel, Radio panel, Instrument panel.
TrackHat clip attached to Turtlebeach PX24 headset connected to usb soundcard.
All of the above connected to a 10way powered USB Hub.
iPad mini is my usual flying GPS, but in this case using XPlane as a location source.
Audio is routed through PC speakers, with VATSIM audio using the USB soundcard - get the levels right and it sounds pretty much spot on!
The scenery pack does do some weird things to airports - you have to build exclusion zones around them to retain the original airport scenery. Also the smoke coming from chimneys rises far too fast and is always black, but I've not managed to figure that bit out yet.
I'm assuming you know what scenerypacks.ini does... can you tell where I fly?
