Buy a joystick, fly for awhile..if you like it then buy a headset.
DO NOT buy a plantronics 40. It is Th3 SUCK!
Yea I JUST joined a few days ago. Loving it and, I can see something that would build up. Nothing too serious as to take too many hours like MMORPG's do, but enough to suffice my gaming addiction, coupled with the BEST community I have encountered thus far.

btw I bought the ps33 saitek found at best buy for about 40 bucks.
It's a C+ or B- joystick. Stick is too long. The hat is too tiny and the unit itself is very light (gotta hold it down moreso than others) and the usb cable is WAY too short.
The nice thing is, there is a nice button that you can easily hold down while hatting to do upper views. Lotsa buttons to program but , you'll have to experiment with those as I'm just trying mine out.
