I have just completed a very low-cost, portable flight sim "cockpit" that works very well, and the construction was so simple that I think most folks could build it after viewing the brief video clip I've put on a web page here:

It's based on the inexpensive (despised, reviled) Logitech Extreme 3dPro joystick, a USB numeric keypad, and 3 cheap Logitech "Joypads". I use it for combat flight sims like "Aces High" and "YsFlight", and it's helped me become competitive with very experienced veterans among those communities. I hope it helps others too.
Regards!
