All right, which one of us is this? Fess up, so that you can be punished, then tell us how you did it. Cheesy

Sweet setup but I'm glad he put it on his Visa Card and not mine. Grin

See the yellow bottle with pills on the right hand shelf? He has definitely not taken enough of them. Or one too much, depending on what kind of pills they are of course. Shocked

Let's think about this. If the average price of one monitor is, say $300 that's about $3900. Plus minimum, what, $400 for each of those towers: $2800. And keyboards, pedals, stick worth at least another $150, equals roughly at least $6850. I second the motion that I am glad it is on his visa and not mine. I spent less than that getting my private pilots licence. Instument, however, is another matter. Wink

P.S. What I want to know is if this guy has this kind of money and time, why didn't he go buy one of these instead:

It would work far better and cheaper as well. Cheesy

I wouldn't use that just because it is monitor stacked on monitor. But that's just me. I think it looks better when it is one big wrapparound like the CRJ and Boeing/Airbus sims.

yeah one great big monitor would be fantastic. if you could get a real cockpit of say an f16 or something or even make one then put a massive wrap around screen infront of it that would make for one hell of an experience!! but we can only dream about these things

I want one of those 360 degree full motion sims that have, or had Angry

, for Commanche! That was great, if I had a helo sim, I would never fly a fixed wing again.

That guy could have done with 2 projectors and one machine.

Maby when I retire I will get round to this kind of stuff, but by then we will have FS 2030.
