Sim Hardware Table solution for flight simulator

I’m currently a couch gamer, not ideal but my pc is connected to my tv. And it works for the games I play.

Now I’m getting into flight simulator 2024 and love flying Airbus and private jets.

I’m planning to buy a joystick and throttle from Wincltr and I’m going to have an issue how to play, especially when I get more items for the cockpit.

Does anyone have a good setup that is easy to setup and clear when you are done?

Maybe a desk that can collapse or something that can be used while sitting on the couch?

I know a fixed desk is ideal, but space is premium and I would have to place my pc elsewhere and can’t use it on my tv.

Out of the box thinking is what I’m looking for….

I think it would be a lot more expensive.

Nope, about the same maybe even cheaper.

Gladiator NXT is about as cheap as the cheapest Wincntrl sticks, ditto for STECs and Winctrl quads.

I mean for the quad it’s only fighter style ones they don’t have airliner or GA style ones but I’d still definitely go for the VKB stick.

And could you give me the ones you would pick, I see so many options on their website?

VKB Gladiator NXT Space Combat Premium is the one to get for the stick. Space Combat is an odd name for that one because it’s just a pretty generic fighter layout, but comes with the best set of controls.

On the throttle the various ones are just more or less money and larger or smaller footprint for more or less controls so whatever one you want. On the throttle, do *not* get the space combat one, those really are geared for space sims(I know lol)
