Read the AVSIM poll and found it quite interesting.  Just wanted to add a few questions of my own.

 

Clutch

Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)  Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11),  EVGA 1300W PSU
Netgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displays
Full array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

If possible you should put an "other" option down for the FS you started with. I started with Flight Unlimited II...  :mellow: I just put down FSX as that was my first one of the options on the list...

 

Regards,

Ró.

Good idea... just added "other"...

Flew on FS98 with some family and friends ever so often we hung out, and a few months later they released FS2000 witch was my first flight simulator.

I begged my Mom to buy it for me (about 7 years old at the time) and she got it for me. The Concorde on the front of the box drove me nuts, It was such an awesome airplane. Ever since then aviation has been a part of my life, and I love it!
