My challenge now is that really want to build flip out armrests that have cockpit controls attached and give me a spot for the car gear shifter, so I'm thinking of buying two VKB Gladiator joysticks to mount into the armrests.
Most of all I want it to look awesome and fit the design I'm after. Second, I want to actually play sim games.
My issue is as stated. Is a purchase like this crazy? Should I be starting with a second hand hotas unit to see if I even like it?
And for those of you who do enjoy racing, flight or work sims, were you once a casual user who got hooked? Did you wish that you'd bought decent gear right away?
