Flight Simulator Setup for PC: Complete Shopping List
This complete flight simulator setup for PC covers the primary flight controls, computer, display, basic input and audio, and powered USB expansion. Choose the physical desk, compact stand, or full cockpit separately because fighter, general-aviation, and airliner controls require different mounting layouts.
Choose your flight setup
- Desk setup: Buy the exact list below and provide a strong desk, suitable chair, secured rudder pedals and the required control clamps or plates.
- Compact rig: Use the same electronics with a movable flight stand or compact cockpit, suitable seat, secured rudder pedals and verified mounts for the stick and throttle.
- Preferred full rig: Use the same electronics with a dedicated flight cockpit or rigid structure, permanent stick or yoke, throttle and rudder mounts, display or VR support, keyboard access and room for future panels.
Choose the intended simulator and aircraft before choosing a compact or full cockpit. A fighter-style center stick, side stick, yoke and airliner panel require different layouts. The subtotal below covers the desk-based core; a compact or full structure and its mounts are additional.

Before ordering
Choose the simulator and aircraft first. Confirm current Windows and simulator support for every control, the included grip and mounting hardware, desk strength and clamp clearance, rudder-pedal stability, available USB ports, power requirements, and every cable run. The computer and monitor are selected by exact SKU, but no frame-rate promise is made for a particular simulator, aircraft, add-on, resolution, or graphics setting.
