Baught most of it online, all the panels are Saitek including rudder pedals. Built the computer last as my current (At the time) computer didn't like running so much hardware. It is all plug and play, usb. Building it up was easy, it was getting pieces of software and drivers to play nicely with each other which was not easy. It still has MANY bugs after over a year.
Well done - This will make your life so much easier and as you say - practice makes perfect. Obviously you have the passion so you will be flying 747s in no time.
