I do have a Trackir and it works great. I agree one of the best addons you can buy and was one of the reason I decided to get back into flying (I flew some with my Amiga 2000 back in the day).
I just built a new system with:
Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED 2048MB
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
I also have a second PC networked for Helios (my old game machine with a E6750 and 560TI card) with a Samsung ELO 24" touchscreen.
I am working on a Helios and UDP Speed skin right now while I wait for my new HOTAS. I find having the controls at your fingertip makes the game easier to learn and use.
Last I am running the new system into a Samsung 39" HDTV (low latency model). So IL2 with some mods looks pretty sweet. I used the PVC pipe method and built a dedicated virtual cockpit area to mount the touchscreen and HOTAS stand.
Here is an early picture taken flying Falcon BMS and its Helios skin I am working on.
