In additional to what's been said, go out and get a proper yoke (NOT joystick) and some software to get your scan up to speed.
I used X-Plane. Once set up, you can do all the procedures at a cost to you of - nothing.
If you have a big budget, Elite's the thing, but I did not find it worth the extra I paid for X-plane. Talk to the man at RCSumulations.com (I think) for how to get this sorted for you.
