I plan to make a flight cockpit simulator with a control column and a display interconnected with a flight simulator software. Could anyone help me with interfacing the controls and the control unit. There is a need to connect a control stick (2 axis), rudder pedal (two pedals with switches) and a throttle to the system.
Thank You!!!

The problem is the " interconnected with a flight simulator software" part.
a) You didn't say what the "flight simulator" is so the question is impossible to answer.
b) This forum is more about the other part. I suspect a forum where other people who use your "flight simulator" will be more helpful.
Hello danisiga
I have found this website to be a treasure trove of information about this project. Have you settled on one brand of yoke/joystick or are you thinking about fabricating your own? Do you plan on going further than a generic four seater type panel?

A high school student made it and distributed the Arduino code on Instructables.com
BTW, if you wish to work with me, I am working on the same kind of project
