Oh man relax when you play...I figure you do enough standing while your flying for real. Why the hell not sit and kick your feet up and doint worry about your batteries, Fuel, or anything......Sit back fly and enjoy

I bought a new TV, graphics card, HDMI cable, and FSone, just so I can practice and learn to compete. The more real the simulator experience the easier it will be.
2500 for new TV.
209 for simulator.
289 for graphics card.
199 for HDMI cable.
Flying my Funtana 90 in boxers= Priceless.

iam with biff ,,, iused to stand until mid 40s now i sit. oh ohh ohhh you mean flying simms. neither i dont have one and most likely never will. i dont like them they are just not the same as having 2 to 3 or more thousand in the air i guess for 3-d their ok. but i fly more than that. i have owned 4 simms and they are the same although the graphics are better its still not the same. maby for foamys they are but not for anything bigger. this is my opion and the giants do not share or support my last 2 brain cells
