Does anyone own this? I was thinking of using it at home as I start my
instrument training for help with repetative proceedures.

I do this with FS2002, as Amazon.com is *still* maintaining an 8/3 ship
date for my pre-order of FS2004.

Using FS200x to practice various instrument procedures such as
developing a good scan, briefing and setting up the approach procedure,
flying DME arcs and holds, and flying approaches is an excellent way to
continue your instrument lessons at home, IMO.

It is also excellent for randomly simulating a failed vacuum. Set up
the random falure of the AI while flying in hard IMC, then see if you
catch it before spiraling into the ground and land on partial gauges.

If you own it do you have a recommendation for a Yoke or Joystick?

If it is realism you desire, then I would recommend a yoke, that is
unless you fly an aircraft IRL that uses a stick. I use a CH Products
USB Flight Sim Yoke. If you search the web, you should be able to get a
good deal on it.
