Okay, here's the deal. I got $100 USD worth of Christmas money. I also have nearly that much worth in change in a coffee can. Now, I spent over $40 USD worth on PMDG 737 NG. Now, I am itching to spend what I have left and I have several choices which are as follows.
Registered fsuipc
payware avionics
another very realistic plane
More DDR
Saitek X-45
I am sort of leaning on registering fsuipc because I know many freeware planes have nice realistic features that won't work with an un=registered copy and it's also nice to be able to pull back on my throttle to engage reverse thrust as well. What do you all think? What would be a top priority next add-on??

FSUIPC rocks.
It can do so many things. I love the "smooth winds" option. No more sudden wind changes when cruising at FL370

I'd go with that

1. CH Yoke and CH Rudder Pedals if you like to fly not huge aircraft (such as Pipers, Beechcrafts or Cessnas).

2. More RAM if you have 512 or less

3. FSUIPC

Save it! Put it in the bank and wait, you may have a more important purchase to make someday and will be glad you saved it.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

You could try FSUIPC or another "realistic plane". I wouldnt mind spending a few bucks for Eaglesoft's Citation. Wink

Well, thats a lot of votes for fsuipc so far. I already have a yoke and pedals but the right hand clamp screw on my yoke is stripping which is why I considered the X-45. I deem it a good substitute for a regualr yoke while CH works on mine. I sent it back once for repairs and it was a 4 week turn around but it was past warrenty and they still didn't charge me for repairs. CH rocks, they have a life customer and the Throttles are definatly in my sim future. I think I will get fsuipc registered though. There are a lot of very realistic freeware items that need a registered to work. A couple of my freeware planes have WX radar and need registered fsuipc. I also like the reverse thrust setting you can do with fsuipc. I use the throttle lever on my Thrustmaster Afterburner stick/throttle and its nice to be able to pull it back past the detent and have the buckets pop.
