how much have you spend in fsx

[Pe11e 812]

I spent certainly 800 to 900 dollars on addons, and that doesn't hurt at all. It hurts a lot when I think how many weeks/months I spent tweaking this damn thing, and I just don't want to know how many exact days of my life I've lost in FSX, tweaking or flying, or trying to fly. Better to spent that tweaking time to learn something useful, I would be nuclear physicist by now.

Oh my , now my head hurts just thinking about it. But here it goes , i spend much of my time upgrading an selling some part before it gets to old. I have 3 computers  in my home, 2 have fsx install. When i used the new upgrade for about 5 months i then consider selling the GPU an purchasing a new one or build a next rig. On add on i have spend over 1,000 or even more, computer upgrades 3,000. An with this new rig i am building  i don't even want to think about the total price.  Lets just say i like this hobby so much that i love testing  an building a new rig each year for FSX an other purposes.  Now with intel i7 5960x an 16GB DDR4-2133 i would say this rig cost would be 2,400 dollars. I hope this rig will at lease last me over a year or two then consider an upgrade in the future . I know is pretty crazy to upgrade all the time but i enjoy it very much. I like to custom building computer for a hobby an i also enjoy fsx as a hobby too.

I probably spent more in the past year than I have in the previous ten since so many great products hit the market last year, but my rate of spending is much lower now than it was when I started this hobby back in the late '90s and was a compulsive buyer of add-ons and controllers.

 

These days I only buy something if it gets stellar reviews and I know I'll be taking it for more than a couple spins.  My employer pays for my computers so I've not had to buy hardware other than graphics cards (but that means I have to settle for an adequate but suboptimal FSX platform) so I'm fortunate in that regard.

I’ve been simming for only 1 year, and I had some money put aside for it:

 

£1100 Quad Core Overclocked PC

£120   Three reconditioned monitors

£700   Saitek Yoke, Pedals, Throttle, Panels etc 

£30     iPad apps

£2000? Software –Just a guess ….

 

Total: around £4000 – now I understand why I get twitchy when I get some unexpected PC or FSX error …

[Clutch Cargo 384]

Been spending on average $2000US a year since I started in this hobby with FS2002!   And to me it has been worth every penning.  Great hobby - great community.

[CrownCityMisfits 58]

I am estimating about $3000 in software and hardware, not including my PC build, over the past 3 years.

 

2 weeks ago I moved to P3D, and have spent 60 on the sim, 30 to upgrade my A2A Cherokee, and 50 on the new A2A 182. Fortunately, about 75% of my FSX investment will be used in P3D.

 

Look forward to blowing the bank again in 2015! Bring it on 3PD's!!!!

[fs4fun 366]

Averaging about $1500 USD per year, which is $125 per month. As hobbies go, that doesn't seem too bad...

Wow. I'm on my 4th computer. 3rd monitor. 5th mouse. same keyboard though. Have 2 full versions of 3ds max. photoshop cs5. tons of orbx, a2a,  fsdt, flightbeam, ut2 ect ect.  12k to 14k. probably. 3ds max and photoshop are pricy but worth it when doing a lot of models and scenery. Ouch now my head hurts. Darn this hobby. I love it.

[dgraham1284 92]

Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $8-9k.

 

That's if were are talking everything.
