The Controller is usually plugged into the game/midi Port, not the LPT1 Printer Port!
The config I'm using cost me 70 USD (20 USD the NEW Controller on Ebay and 49 USD the Sim online) all in all with the Gamebird 5 channel controller and the RC-Planemaster. When you buy the Planemaster you also get the Ikarus Aerofly program with it and theres also lots of stuff to download for it.
So maybe a cheap Alternative would be the twenty bucks for the Gamebird and the Aerofly to get started.
