New User - Hello from Virginia - USA
« on: December 09, 2025, 02:18:06 PM »
Hi,

I'm new to the group.  I've had a bit of a silly sim journey over the last year.  I played Microsoft Flight Simulator as a kid and loved it (in the late 90s).  While at Costco with my kids about a year ago I decided to grab a cheap gaming pc to try MS Flight Sim 2024.  That escalated into -> New graphics card -> new case -> new everything for the pc -> getting into DCS -> buying tons of winwing components -> getting a motion platform -> wanting to build my own panels -> multiple 3d printers -> a laser cutter -> electronics everywhere!  I have no plan... just really enjoying the process of learning to fly and making stuff.

- Eddie

Hi Eddie,

it is clear that you have a serious addiction  ;D

That virus is not going away, so here is my advice for a bit of structuring.

Start reading build threads to decide what you would like to do.
Warning: reading all this cool stuff may increase your addiction motivation even more  :whistle:
