Hey everyone.

The point of this e-mail is to find out what everyone has spent on FSX. This includes your rig, add-on's, all the extra's you use (flight yoke, Trackir4, speakers, Screens etc)

I probley have close to $1000 invested into FSX.
--8800gt, OC e6600, fsx, PMDG 747x.

I'm thinking of gettting trackir 4 + AOA 747 + a yoke but i don't know about that just yet. And if you have a home built flight deck, please post a pic if you can.
Thanks everyone
Joe

Man this stuff adds up.......

AOA 747 + a yoke but i don't know about that just yet

I recommend that you get both of those. A yoke and pedal set will change your simming experience from night to day. You'll love that yoke and pedal control on the heavies.

The AOA DVD's are great also.... You'll feel confident flying the heavies after watching these videos....
