Custom muzzleloaders and custom bamboo fly rods don't come cheap. The A-10C II was cheap for those of us who had the A-10C already and I think I only paid $39.95 for the A-10C when I bought it. I paid the full $80 for the Hornet and Viper. I paid $11.99 for A-10C way back when. $10 for the II version. I have the Steam versions too purchased on sale. The really 'bad' news is I still have 3 copies of LockOn which I never really learned and probably the same number copies of Flaming Cliffs. I have the original hard cover binder of Falcon 4 too which I can't get rid of for sentimental reasons. Add to that copies of Enemy Engaged: Apache vs Havoc and Commanche vs Hokum. Not to mention iterations of Microsoft Flight Simulator and P3D. It's only now that I'm really appreciating the tech in the A-10C. It's just not a flight sim. It's more like a flight sim, a weapons and a missile sim rolled into one. I guess that puts me in the forever newbie long-time oldie buyer. A collector maybe? Lol Win Pro 10, A-10c (rarely used, but started with Falcon AT!), P3D v4 (100+ add-ons mostly ORBX), i7-8700k, 16 GB 3200 Mhz RAM, Gigabyte Z370M DS3H, Corsair water cooler, EVGA SuperNOVA Gold 650W, PNY GTX 1070ti, Dell 27" G-sync monitor, Logitech 3D Pro, NVMe OS drive, TB's of free space on SSD.
BuzzU Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) You're worse than me. I bought the A-10C in 2017 and never learned it but i'm going to. I started with Lock On too but I learned it and flew a lot. As I did with F4 and now BMS. For race games I started and never stopped racing to this day is Grand Prix Legends. A 1998 game that the community has updated to almost look as good as modern games. I'd hate to think how many hours I have racing it. Then IL2 came out and did that a lot too. Now, I got too old to do any of them justice but i'll still play anyway. It sure beats sitting around watching TV. Edited January 22, 2023 by BuzzU Buzz

At least you learn something new every day.
