Hey all, there are a lot of little things that aren't necessary for CoD and our new Blitz, but since we have this amazing upgrade to our favorite sim, thought I'd ask if there are little things that people use with the sim that they feel adds to the immersion.
An example would be the Radio FX plugin for TeamSpeak. Certainly not needed, but i feel that it adds to the immersion of the game, as does the TSNotifier (Sorry Lew - I know it's not working for you).
The throttle quadrant and trim wheel i also like.
The way i have peripherals set up now it makes it hard for me to reach the keyboard, so not long ago i purchased the Logitech G13 gamepad, and really like it. I know there are other gamepads out there, but this seemed like a good product for the money.
It gives you 3 times 25 keys, so 75 keys you can bind to, plus a small joystick, that i don't use (Ok, i use it a fair bit because when i push down on it, my canopy opens and i bail out - it takes a firm push so am not going to bail by accident).
It's really easy to set up macro's so for example if you want to do tab - 7 - 1 to look for bogeys, you can set it up so it's only one key press. You could bind a whole engine start up to one key if you wanted to. And believe me, if i can set up those sorts of things, then a five year old can do it!
It can also be used to set up commands for video editing and such.
It has a small LCD screen that i use to monitor computer temps and core usage.
So quite happy with it, and considering that many of the sims now require a lot of key usage due to their clickable cockpits, I think it's going to come in handy over the years.

Anyhow, I am not here to push a product, and i know that there are a lot of threads for joysticks etc, but thought maybe this would be a good place to suggest ideas or products that others might use, esp the newer fliers who are not aware of these "extras".
There might be a few out there who plan on taking back the tie, or who were given gift cards, that might be looking for ideas.
So feel free to add suggestions that will help us all enjoy Blitz to the fullest!
