If these machines were waterproof I could afford an upgrade and forget the roof over my head!

Do any of you guys ever feel like you must FORCE yourself to play flight simulator, even though you don't feel like it, just because you don't want all of the time and money you've put into the hobby, to go to waste?

I try not to think about what I've spent, between the basic hardware and the simpit (currently languishing due to lack of funds)... but I've done my best to scrounge, bargain-hunt, etc. , and I've certainly gotten my money's worth so far.  :)

I'd feel bad about the expense only if I'd splurged on lots of payware... that stuff adds up!

Now I don't feel so bad considering I have been through: 1 bought PC, and 2 builds, 2 monitors, plus the only 2 payware planes: PMG 747, and CLS DC-10. Saitek Joy Stick. Oh yeah and the few add on's that I am tired of installing time and again.  Total I believe=$3800+

Chris,

There .... THANKS...... I can add that one to the "rationalization list" for owning a simpit:

"Can make others feel better about spending lesser but significant money on flight sim hobby."

Ah...... community service bonus points.  ;)

best,

...............john
