You need a $600 Pentium-4 PC, with a $150 graphic adapter (G-Force 7 and up), a licensed copy of X-Plane 9 ($70), Garrow Aircraft Sim package ($20) and finally a $100 simulator joystick (typically Saitek X-52) for the manned Verticopters or a 6-channel R/C transmitter box (Futaba $150) and a GWS USB cable ($15) for the unmanned counterparts, so roughly a budget of $1K.
