I am finally satisfied with all the peripherals for my flight sim computer. I thought I was done once I ordered my Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant, but instead of a throttle quadrant, the store sent me a second set of rudder pedals. So I sold those for a 100% profit and re-bought the throttle quadrant. (Morals? What morals?) Then for a completely unexpected and awesome gift, my father bought me a captains hat for my birthday. Sweet! Now I can attach the TrackIR to that hat and look like a COMPLETE dork while flying. Apparently I wasn't complete enough before.
Thinking back, I have to wonder if could have bought flight lessons with all the money I spent on my flight sim equipment. In peripheral alone I have spent over $600. Barely enough to pay for a few lessons, but if you included my two computers, I would be half way to a PPL. Then again, I would have bought the computers anyway. Crysis is just too fun to pass up.
Happy Flying

Thinking about the TrackIR. Do you think it is a worthwhile purchase?
The trackIR is one of my prized possession when referring to my flight sim. With out it, I feel disabled, like my head is in a brace, because the view never changes. I highly recommend it. Also, as an alternative, I can suggest the free, DIY version, "FreeTrack"
