Mario Vargas Llosa has died

for software, I'm very happy with X-Plane, specially if you own a mac. For hardware, you could use an xbox joystic, but I would highly recommend this: https://yawmanflight.com/ - it's perfect for on-the-go and tbh much more convenient than a full yoke + pedals. I sold my yoke and pedals and now just use the yawman.
