You guys are certifiably insane! I love it!
I'm not sure how you talked your wives into these basement projects. That could probably be a forum in itself.
I thought I had a decent setup with Flight Sim X, Wingman Extreme joystick, NVidia SLI and a Dell Ultra Sharp 30" monitor.
I clearly see I'm not in you guy's league. You guys are great.
Welcome aboard MyCockpit Chip,

Welcome
OH shoot I didnt realise i actually had to tell the wife LOL, I guess im in trouble...
Ahhh the she who must be o bayed.... Well it keeps me out of her hair! And she knows where I am ..... Crazy??? I resemble that remark! :mrgreen:
Got rid of both of 'em years ago.
My time and money is my own!
Welcome to the forum Chip.
It's great to be single :-)
My wife supports my sim project 110%. It's good to be married :)
She thinks that building a sim is a far better prospect than doing the usual age 40 thing ... i.e. chasing blondes in red sport cars :)
LOL, good one Nic,
I agree, it's good to have someone to fetch beer when your at the controls on those long missions. She doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to wire a cordless doorbell to the overhead "Attend" call button, that should cause a riot! My wife changed from "I hope you're not thinking of keeping those car seats here", to showing off the sim to nearly all visitors to our home. She has become very supportive from the initial reluctance, bless her. It would have been hard to ask her to leave!!!!!
Gwyn
hehe yeah mate! I was thinking about doing the exact same thing with the attend button - lol!!
You've probably heard the old joke.... My wife said "IT'S FS OR IT'S ME!!. I miss her.
:)
Dude, Stick around, we will learn you a thing or too... Your never out of the league. We will get you whipped into sim shape in no time.
Welcome to the community.
My wife is very happy that I am doeing this.....It's healthier and cheaper than going to the pub every evening she says....healthier?.. sure....cheaper... if she only would know.....
Aart
As my wife get's asked by her friends and family..... "Why do you let him do that" (Imagine that... ) My wife would reply.... "At least I know where he is"
:)
Hi Matt, I posted the 737 Bitmaps to Bob Reed today. Can you send me your new address via private message when you're settled in your new place?

My Wife is Supportive of the project, in fact she is so supportive that she hates it when I tell people she is supportive.
When you boys figure that out, let me know cause I am still trying :)
My wife wants to start a forum here, I bet some of your wives would join in. Thread called "Wives of simulator geeks"
I guess they will never understand.
Ok, it's done, now see if you can get your wives into our
Wives Club of Insane Simulator Males.
( that's a challenge beyond building a pit :D )
I am getting my wife to register right now :)
Hhhhmmmmm, my wife is already registered. I'm not sure I want her to know about the forum. She may tell you guy things I don't want you to know :rolleyes:
I'll have to think this one out....... :roll:
My other half went crazy when 21 feet of Beechcraft Queenair turned up, but once she saw the sim up n running, everything changed.
Now she's really supportive.
I guess there is an element of comfort knowing where I am all the time.
Though when the F27 cockpit arrived , 2 pits was a bit too much for her,probably just as well really, since I would be filling the garden with cockpits !
LOL If I did that I would be planting flowers around my soon to be grave :)
Thats so funny because when i pulled into the driveway with my Cessna sticking past the tailgate the look on my wifes face was absolute shock. And then I had to tell her howmuch PM cost me (US) lol
Keep your eyes on Computer Pilot mag for upcoming stories by "someone" writing about the wives view of it all, there should be 5 serialised stories coming up over consecutive issues.
No, it's not me but I am a friend of this fellow CP mag author who is a very funny storyteller! She rocks!
Gwyn
Possibly my best line was, "I paid less than the scrap value for it,it's a bargain,the yokes alone woulda cost me that and the throttle quad's worth a fortune"
Trouble is, I have no idea if she is convinced.
Besides, I don't exactly lie about the costs, I under-exaggerate ;)
