I have a Sidewinder FF2 for aileron and elevator,
Saitek throttle 1 for power, proppitch & flaps,
Saitek throttle 2 for aileron trim, rudder trim and brakes,
MS ForceFeedback Wheel for elevator trim (in the future it will be placed besides me, like the big wheels in real A/C) with centering power off.

And I'm building my own pedals using a timing belt and two camshaft sprockets & some old wood, with a Saitek steering wheel (USB) as a base, and which will have toe brakes and include a pedestal for placing the Sidewinder and a locking mechanism for my office chair using a big lever.
I wanted better resolution and most wheels use optics.

My previous pedals used the classic pivoting style, used a cable over a pulley which turned a potmeter from a gameport-joystick. Was nice and built them from scratch in a few hours with the stuff I had lying around (drawing, measuring? nah )

Although I like the idea of buying a brand new HOTAS, building stuff for a few euro's is even more fun.
