Complete Flight Simulator Packages

Building a home flight simulator from individual components means researching compatibility, configuring multiple devices, and hoping everything works together before your first virtual takeoff. A complete flight simulator package solves that by pairing compatible controls with simulator software in one purchase, ready to set up and fly out of the box. Both packages here are PC-only and pair Logitech G Saitek controls with Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Edition as a digital download, with 20 aircraft and 30 hand-crafted airports.

How pilots choose between a yoke package, a HOTAS setup, and building piece by piece:

First home sim, want it complete: the Logitech G Saitek Basic Flight Simulation Bundle adds Pro Flight Rudder Pedals to the yoke and throttle quadrant, so you control pitch, roll, and yaw the way a real cockpit does.
Yoke and throttle, add pedals later: the Logitech G Saitek Pro Yoke Flight Bundle gives you the yoke and throttle quadrant plus the software, a lower entry point for students practicing procedures between lessons.
Flying jets or fighters: a HOTAS stick-and-throttle suits fast aircraft better than a yoke. Compare Thrustmaster HOTAS controls and Turtle Beach VelocityOne setups.
Building component by component: browse individual Logitech G Saitek yokes and pedals or the full flight simulator equipment range to assemble exactly what you want.

Round out the home cockpit with a pilot headset, a kneeboard for charts, and a flight training resource to drill procedures. Not sure where to start?

Complete flight simulator packages built for pilots, not gamers

A complete flight simulator package pairs compatible flight controls with simulator software in a single purchase, so you can build a realistic home cockpit without researching which yoke, throttle, and pedals work together. The packages here are PC-only and combine Logitech G Saitek controls with Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Edition as a digital download, giving you 20 aircraft and 30 hand-crafted airports to practice procedures, instrument scans, and pattern work between lessons.

Types of home flight simulator controls

Yoke and throttle packages

A yoke replicates the control wheel found in most general aviation aircraft, making it the natural choice for student and private pilots practicing the same motions they use in a Cessna or Piper. Both bundles on this page use the Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and throttle quadrant. If you want to start light and grow, the yoke bundle gives you the essentials and leaves room to add pedals when you are ready.

Adding rudder pedals

Rudder pedals let you control yaw and practice coordinated turns, crosswind landings, and taxi steering the way a real cockpit does. The Basic Flight Simulation Bundle includes Pro Flight Rudder Pedals from the start. You can also browse individual Logitech G Saitek flight simulation hardware to build a setup piece by piece.

HOTAS stick-and-throttle setups

If you fly jets, fighters, or fast aircraft, a HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) configuration suits those airframes better than a yoke. Compare Thrustmaster flight simulation hardware and Turtle Beach VelocityOne controls, or explore the full range of flight simulation equipment.

How to choose the right flight simulator package

Start with the aircraft you fly or want to fly. If that is a single-engine trainer or light piston aircraft, a yoke bundle matches the controls you use in the airplane. If you are drawn to airliners or military jets, a HOTAS setup feels more natural. Next, decide whether you want pedals on day one: the Basic bundle includes them and gives you full pitch, roll, and yaw control, while the yoke bundle lets you start lighter and add pedals later. Both packages are PC-only, so confirm your computer meets Microsoft Flight Simulator system requirements, including a dedicated graphics card and adequate RAM, before you buy. Finally, plan to round out the cockpit with a pilot headset and a kneeboard for charts so your practice sessions mirror real flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a complete flight simulator package?

A complete flight simulator package from Pilot Mall includes flight controls and simulator software in one purchase. Both bundles pair Logitech G Saitek controls, a yoke and throttle quadrant (with rudder pedals on the Basic bundle), with Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Edition as a digital download featuring 20 aircraft and 30 hand-crafted airports.

Are these flight simulator packages PC-compatible?

Yes. Both flight simulator packages on this page are PC-only and run on Windows computers that meet the Microsoft Flight Simulator system requirements, including a dedicated graphics card and sufficient RAM for smooth performance.

Should I choose the yoke bundle or the bundle with pedals?

Choose the Basic Flight Simulation Bundle if you want a complete setup out of the box with rudder pedals for full pitch, roll, and yaw control. Choose the Pro Yoke Flight Bundle if you want a lower entry point and plan to add rudder pedals later.

Do I need a powerful PC for a home flight simulator?

Yes. Microsoft Flight Simulator runs best on a PC with a modern multi-core processor, a dedicated graphics card, and ample RAM. Check the current Microsoft Flight Simulator system requirements before buying to ensure smooth frame rates and detailed scenery.

Can I use a flight simulator to practice for real flight training?

A home flight simulator is a valuable tool for drilling procedures, instrument scans, and pattern work between lessons, though these consumer packages are not FAA-approved training devices and do not log official flight time. Pair your setup with flight training resources to reinforce what you learn in the airplane.
