That was a great game! Would have been better if I had a collective and foot pedals.

My wife bought me xplane. I've never played microsoft, but I was amazed at all the stuff xplane could do (if my computer were fast enough for it). I tried using it during primary with a t-34 plugin, but the power settings weren't right and the throttle on the joystick was kind of messed up. Would have been awesome for RIs though.

Living the dream
In short, no. I never played them much to begin with. I was stashed at MAG-41 waiting to start the RAG and they gave me unlimited access to the Hornet sim. I must have flown that thing 5 or 6 hours a day. Once you get to fly for real you only go back to the sim (which is infinitely better than a PC sim game anyway) when you have to. Now I know why the sim was available for me to fly 5 or 6 hours a day.

Nope, I haven't played any games in a while. Just bought Dead Rising for XBox360, it's pretty cool.
Build one yourself for cheaper.
In the current environment, there should be a medal or two in there for your demonstrated courage and fine performance ....

Is that what you did?
My brother built my PC two or three years ago. Was only $1200 for parts and it was top of the line back then. FSX is pretty demanding.
It has a Pentium 4 with 3.2 GHz, a Gig of ram, and a Radeon X800 pro video card. It still struggled.
If you're looking for a new PC, go with custom or if you want, I can send over Falcon 3.0 for a cheap price.

Having built my last 3 computers, the idea that it's cheaper is a myth. The benefit is that you can customize to exactly what you're trying to achieve. In my case, I started building my own when I went to a hard drive computer based system for my recording studio back when SCSI drives were the only ones that could handle the throughput required. If you're building a system from the ground up, you're not going to be price competitive with what's being offered by folks like HP or Dell based on raw specs like CPU/Chip set/RAM/HD capacity.

You're not going to beat Dell on their volume pricing, if you just want a decent system. However, it is the cheaper way to get hardware that you want if you have eclectic needs.
It's also a lot easier and cheaper come upgrade time if you've done the right planning; that is, if you upgrade every 2 years or so. I'm not one of these gamers that upgrades the vid card every 2 years (just "upgraded" from a Ti4200 to an integrated geforce6 chip), but I do plan to drop in a raid card in the next year or so.
