Next step software wise ?
May i just say before i start i've had this dream of building a replica flight simulator for about a year now ever since stumbling across some home builds on Youtube, i really didnt think i had the abilty to even match some of those guys but since finding this forum my fire has been lit and im raring to go, you guys really have a level of patience i've not come across before .........on VATSIM most replies consist of 'search the forum' or 'you n00b its like this' etc etc but you guys really seem to take your time to help and trust me your gonna have your work cut out with me, i have the fire just not the brain power :D but im willing to learn and will share my experiences with the next 'noob' to find us (can i say us ? ive only been here a week yet i 'feel' a part of this community already) :cool:
Ok guys so this is where im at so far......
I have the complete Saitek Proflight System
I have a home network with up to 4 connections possible (not wireless)
I have 1 PC (Pentium D 2.8 - 4gb RAM - Radeon x1950pro 512mb AGP gfx)
I have 3 monitors (2x17" CRT + 1x19" CRT) - will upgrade to LCD asap though
I have FS2004 (and FSX but hey i need a new pute for that!)
I have the PMDG 737ng (and PMDG 747-400)
I have NOT registered FSUIPC
So whats the next step ?
Looking back im assuming register FSUIPC then purchase Project Magenta?
But what about Wideview, WideFS or anything else i need software wise ????
I would appreciate some help on this my friends as i would rather get the software side sorted before i start buying MIPS CDU's and MCP's...
Oh and how much is Project Magenta? ive been to their website but they just say that it went up in Jan 2007 and that was year ago........:oops:
