Flight Simulator Setup and Cockpit Gear

What gear does Flight Streamer use?

My home flight simulator setup combines a dedicated MSFS PC, a separate streaming and encoding PC, flight controls, and interchangeable cockpit panels. Below are the PC specifications and the gear currently listed for this build; the product list is still being expanded.

Use this as a reference for your own cockpit. For installation details, aircraft tested, and limitations, read the hands-on hardware reviews. A product being listed here does not mean every aircraft or simulator supports it.

How to choose gear for your own simulator

Start with the aircraft you fly and the controls you need. Before buying a panel or sidestick, check the manufacturer’s support for your simulator version, aircraft add-on, and any required base or bridge software. Plan the mounting position and reach as carefully as the hardware itself.
