Hi Mig,
I was starting from scratch like you a few months back. Get the best you can afford, and DO get head tracking of some sort. It's a world of difference and your "situational awareness" (perhaps the most important thing) will increase a lot and speed up your progress.
Then order TrackIR for about $150 from Amazon and you're well on the way.
There are cheaper alternatives to trackir if you are willing to do some work.
Do your research... there are a lot of choices. I got the "Delan Clip". It's about 1/3 the cost of Trach IR, easy to set up ( I use "Open Track" free app) and I'm computer dumb. And it works great.

Good luck, and welcome.
I'm looking forward to when I'm not the greenest pilot in the ACG.

Boy, you guys in the States have it made! TrackIR 5 in Canada costs $256, if I want it bundled with the Track Clip Pro it will cost $350. Trying to find a less expensive option :D

Order one at the adress of a gas station near the border, drive to pick it up. Solved.

Says the guy who lives in a country smaller than multiple US states and no apparent appreciation of North American geography. That may not work so great if you live in someplace like Whitehorse or Yellowknife...

Send a mate on his dogsled to pick it up?

I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.

Sounds like you've also visited Take-Everything-Very-Seriously-Ville, Texas :D
And yeah, the closest I've ever been to Yukon was enjoying Yukon golds.

Hey, I live near Take-Everything- Very-Seriously-Ville, Texas. It is just across from Cut'n Shoot and Gun Barrel City. (which are real Texas cities by the way.)
