How much have you spent on FS? (Including pc)

Postby FuturePilot » Sat Jul 03, 2010 9:05 pm

I'm curious how much everyone else has spent on Flight Simming. Everything included! PC, Yoke, Joystick, Addons, Panels - EVERYTHING!  ;D Anxiously waiting...  :)

Since 1999 when I first got into flight sims, easily over $3,000.

Since the computer I'm running now was not made for FS, I fall in the upper end of the 250-500 range.

My computer was about $600
Yoke panels, TrackIR, pedals, $650
Add-on aircraft about $60

FSX, FS2004, FS2000Pro allpurchased new about $160
FS2002 used off Ebay $15
X-Plane 9.x $45

That's the current rig, the old one was about $750-ish range for everything include CH yoke and pedals, new video card, and power supply after the video card blew up the factory PSU.

Sure was a lot less than my actual SEL which I'd run up to $22k before I quit.

It depends, if you consider the $2300 television in our living room that acts as a monitor.  Other than that, not too much.  The only reason I updated computers was because my old one was circling the drain (making very wierd noises and sometimes refusing to boot).  I bought a new Saitek joystick because my antique Sidewinder suddenly lost the use of half its buttons.  And I didn't buy FSX until it was $30.

I marked 3 grand but I think it's a bit higher.
Makes me wonder how much I would have saved if I had just bought FS 9 instead of FSX Del. with Accel.  :-/
