First question: which sim? If you have Real Flight, then the adapters should have come with the sim.
If you are using Clearview or FMS or others, then you can buy a USB cable that behaves as a joystick (as far as your computer is concerned). Create new model type "Airplane", turn off the transmitter then plug in the cable. You can program dual rates if you wish. The TX must be turned off for the cable to work.
They are available on ebay and cost about 15-20 with shipping.

Most of these cables are 4 channels, so you will have to use the keyboard for flight mode, throttle hold, etc...
GWS makes a cable which some have reported to work with 6 channels, but I have yet to verify this:
