From left to right;

CH Throttle Quadrant: controls elevator trim, blank, blank, blank, RPM#1, RPM#2

Thrustmaster Warthog throttle: 1 and 2 engine

TrackIR: self explanatory- just started getting used to it. The vertigo comes and goes, I got hit by a bout last night during the scenario.

Turtlebeach Headset: for sound/mic, also have additional plug available on desk to plug in my cellphone so I can listen to music or even do work handsfree.

G15 keyboard; had macros to turn off/on each engine, end flight, additional trim, view keys, exit flight, and type on vox channel buttons.

Saitek Cyborg Mouse: macros with additional weights for comfort

Thrustmaster Warthog joystick: self explanatory, note the c-clamp to prevent the stick from moving. While necessary on a CH stick, the Warthog doesn't really move but it is an old habit.

Red Mug: Kona coffee with French vanilla flavored creamer on a P47 Pilots commemorative plaque from Boston 1988 (was a gift from a historical P47 pilot with paintings/pictures)

McDonalds cup: Barq's Rootbear for additional caffeine.

Not Shown;

CH Pro-pedals on the floor.

I used MS Sidewinder 3D Pro/FFB/Precision Pro/Precision 2 in AH1.

Now I'm using TM HOTAS-X. It's pretty good stick, but HAT switch is a little fragile.

Well it might not be perfect and you have to put up with the Pedals I love my Logitech G940's.  Once you fly with the force feedback it is just not the same without it.

I've been using an X52 for about 4 years now. 2 of the buttons on the throttle are wearing out by now and activate without me pressing them sometimes. The joystick itself is getting a little stiff from all the use, but overall it still works in good condition. Almost no calibration issues, both hat-switches work fine (though I have TrackIR, so I don't use them for head movement).

I might buy another X52 when this one finally breaks. I like the feel, and have everything mapped onto it so I never have to take my hands off the controls during flight.
