I may be incorrect. But.. if you spent the money for a sim, then bought a special control for the sim, buddy cord, etc..... Doesn't that almost defeat the purpose? The entire point of buying that stuff is so you get a little practice so you won't crash you planes. But hell, the money you spent on that you could have bought 3 planes,lol. Might as well just try your luck, may be cheaper. Or join a club.

Just my opinion. The best of luck to you.

By the way, must be nice not to have a budget.....
