If you haven't gotten any hotas as of yet, I highly recommend the Logitech X56 Rhino. It's pretty sweet with some Amazon desk mounts. The winwing stuff is pretty neat, but $$$. Also have the Logitech rudder pedals and thrust master Cougar MFD's. I prefer fighter jets and easy to bind keys.
The images below are what I ordered… There was a different HOTAS set that was about twice the cost, but I didn’t see the need for that. If they basically function the same… I used a Logitech twist control stick forever, and mouse and keyboard inputs for anything else… So in addition to amazing scenery and flight options, I’m looking forward to the challenge of learning all the new controls…

What I’m really hoping at some point, is to find a B-24 Bomber aircraft to add to the stable of planes in either DCS, MSFS or any other where I might be able to download it.

My grandfather flew B-24’s in WWII and that would be a thrill for me to “retrace” some of the missions strictly for the views… He flew Omar Bradley around North Africa on several flights… I have the entire set of B-24 flight manuals as given to the pilots for their training. It details every area of the warbird, and operational considerations for each. I peruse those occasionally just out of an interest…
