I am HEAVILY involved in simracing, my stuff costs thousands of $, (i mean REALLY HIGH END stuff), i just always loved flight sims too, and F-16C is by far my favorite fighter, as soon as i heard that DCS released it i HAD to start. i have done some real life flighting too, but at this point i wanted something simple and economical to start with. Can't pay for high end stuff both for simracing and flight sim at the same time :P
