For MSFS I recommend alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim

This newsgroup is more oriented to combat-type flight simulators on a good 
day (and politics the rest of the time)
(kinda embarassing to say that having just succumbed to the trolling in the 
"Bitch" thread)

You'll love the guys in alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim... there never was a 
more helpful group of people.

As for joysticks, I use an old logitech wingman force for prop syms, and a 
Thrustmaster SWF setup for Falcon 4.0, Lomac (which I almost never play) and 
other jet sims.  Most folks around here us CH products, though, and seem to 
love them.  I highly recommend their pro pedals (with toe brakes).

Also look into a TrackIr.  It enables you to shift the view by slight turns 
of the head.  Very intuitive and the most useful accessory since the 
joystick.

good luck...  and remember; it's not a game

It's a totally unreasonable addiction! (MSFS is anyway - you'll spend a 
fortune of addons and love it).
