Thanks Lou!  I have a Jetliner yoke, pedals, and quadrant with the 2, 3, and 4 engines..but I bought them 10 years ago so I need to get a seriel PCI card since PFC said they can't be converted to USB.   Yup, the 727 is solid, but if ever not getting behind the power curve applied to any aircraft...the 707 is Queen (behind the 747).  I ended up dumping a 321B into San Francisco bay last night.....keyboard has got to go!!   ;) I'm not gonna complain because a buddy of mine flew the DC-8 sim at UPS in Kentucky and the 707 is a Cadillac (keep it in trim), but the DC-8 is a Mack truck with no powersteering!  You have to be miles and sunshine ahead of that bird!!

It it doesn't work out with your hardware, I recommend the Saitek Pro Flight yoke, throttle quadrants, and their rudder pedals.  You comments on the 707 and DC-8 handling remind of a conversation with my father-in-law.  In his experience, he says the 757 flies like a truck, while the 767 is like a Cadillac, and is much lighter on the controls.
