Yeah I never thought of it that way. How much to run this little $50.00 flight sim(s)? Very good timing as I'm
buying a new computer next week just to get those few extra FPS and better realism. Though I justified it with the
excuse that I need to start doing some client server work again I really only need a low end server for about 1/2 the
price since my current machine is more than adequate. And did I really need to spec 500GB of hard disk space? Well
maybe the dual proc will be useful running SQL server but I can't imagine I really need it for dev work. Hum better buy
the machine quick before I realize I don't really need it.

Sorry folks - please bear with me.

I love to fly (as a passenger) but am keen to 'get my hands on the
controls'.

Where do I start?

MS Flight Sim?

What 'joystick' and 'foot pedals'?

Your guidance will be very much appreciated.

Thanks group.

Just saw your post and had to smile. I'm sure others will give you ample
help with the specifics of your question, so I'll let them so that.
What made me smile was the thought of what I've spent so far on this
nice little past time since I retired. I believe I'm safe in saying that
at this point in time, over a span of 3 versions of MSFS, I have now
invested in hardware and peripherals about 10,000 dollars.
So be careful. If you're married, be VERY careful....or you could very
well end up just like me looking for the answer to the most oft asked
question by wives to husbands they thought were at least marginally
smart people when they decided to marry them.
My wife asks, "So tell me again once more will you......you spent HOW
much on the stuff to run this fifty dollar flight simulator????????"
