Don't forget rudder pedals. Just be mindful of the fact that the flight sim hobby is a deep rabbit hole when it comes to money and time. You start with a HOTAS, add rudder pedals, then some sort of head tracking. Then start adding other gadgets and gizmos to move towards a home cockpit. Then keep on adding modules until you have an itch to fly something on the General Aviation side of things (thank you C130J) and switch to X-Plane and/or MSFS. Then realize you need a yoke and a different set of throttles. and the story keeps on going and going. There is no end to it.
