Today we dive into the opposite side of flight sim setup, moving on from my beginners video and looking into what you can buy when you go down the hardware rabbit hole especially if you like Airbus flight simulation.

This video shows you what I currently use - all products from WinCtrl which offer great price and great quality plus an ever expanding list of products to complete your home cockpit / home flight deck setup depending on what you want to create.

Whilst in this video I'm not saying you need all of this, I talk about the pro's and con's experienced in ownership of this hardware so far.

Like the beginners video, for transparency - a lot of the items shown I have received for free from WinCtrl but I have not been paid by them to market or create content. Rather, the partnership I agreed to is to retain my independent open and honest thoughts with the ability to share my actual thoughts with you, and not just give you the marketing speech others like to give.

Before you get into buying a lot of hardware you will 100% NEED a powered USB hub. I have two of these - amzn.to/45nUq1z - and highly recommend them. Affordable, branded and good quality.

Again like I said on the previous video there are a LOT of options out there but be sure to question whether that creator you are watching is being paid or sponsored to market a manufacturers products or not whenever you see a button or image placement constantly or regularly displayed, or a "hardware cam view"... its YOUR hard earned cash you are spending and we must be transparent, and honest with our thoughts - or be up front and say it's a paid collaboration and as such they are marketing on that company's behalf.
