Maybe a good intro is a prompt I gave to ChatGPT this morning: "Will be two users: one is just starting flying lessons at a school using C172Ns. Other is husband of that student who's a lapsed ATP infected by the flying bug again, intending to re-enter with C172 VFR flying."

ChatGPT gave me a seemingly thorough response, about 80 lines containing 10 various hardware and software sections with cost totaling US$ 4,800-5,600.  I'm thinking it could be useful to post that response and get comments and suggestions from the experienced people on these forums. Good idea or not? And if good, which forum? Thanks!

 The minimum requirements for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are a Windows 10 OS, an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU with 4 GB of VRAM. Players will also need 50 GB of storage space and a DirectX 12 compatible system. 

There is a specific forum for Hardware related questions as well.
