I am not offended in the least. You made the choice that felt right to you - I cannot be offended by that.

Hi,

 

Very nice gesture Vic, in today's day and age where its usually "me-me-me / now-now-now". It is refreshing to see a fellow simmer give of themselves to another who is less fortunate!!!.

 

BRAVO.... If anyone deserves to be AVSIM's member of the month for February, it's you.

 

 

Ironmaiden - I am impressed with your attitude. I would like to send you a set of CH Rudder pedals - no cost - as a gift - no strings. If you accept, I will order them and have them shipped to you from Amazon.

PM me with a shipping address if you accept - again - no strings - just a gift from one simmer to another.

:blush: Thanx MIke. I am fortunate to be able to have that 'disposable income' you mentioned. So I thought I'd share.

Hey Vic, its people like you making a terrific difference in life. Be blessed.

There is in this whole 'one sim versus another' thing it strikes me, an amazing paradox. Aeroplanes and flight since the days of the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk have been about rapid development, pushing the boundaries, progress, and yet simulating them we have a platform in FSX which is completely dead in the water and now approaching ten years out of date. In short an anachronism ... i have difficulty reconciling the idea of allegiance to such a simulation in a world in which progress plays such a crucial part ...

I have given away two graphics cards in the past......one to a flight simmer (ATi Radeon 9800 Pro) and one to a sim racer (Nvidia GeForce 7600GT). The Radeon 9800 Pro was sent to someone who had been helpful to me in some way (I can't remember the details), and the 7600GT was sent to a person that I regularly raced against online in GT Legends, and whose (then) current graphics card had expired. No charge for either of them. I certainly did not have a huge amount of disposable income (and still don't), but it's just nice to do something like that for someone every now and again.

Completely agree.

Agreed Christopher. I have a hard time just throwing away hardware which, to me, is outdated when I know to someone it would be a huge step up. If something about someone strikes the right chord, I offer.
