Hi Everyone.
Am new to this forum. I have some questions, & I hope they can be answered.
Here goes -
1.) I realize this may be a stretch, but I'll ask anyway. I lost my computer & all of my flight sim gear due to the NE floods in 2011. The only computer I can use right now is a back-up that a friend was able to give me. Its a 2.7 dual-core AMD w/ 8gb of RAM, and a GeForce 9800 GT vcard. I think I already know the answer, but is this good enuf to fly with? If so, which sim would be better to have, FSX or X-plane? If not, would it be good enuf to use for an older version flight sim such as FS 2004 or 2009?
2.) I have to buy a new stick & throttle. Any ideas where I can find an affordable unit & which would be best. I don't have a lot of xtra cash for this. I used to have a Thrustmaster F-16 HOTAS unit.
3.) Does FSX, X-plane, or any other sim have a version of the Gulfstream G-150 that can be flown? I love that aircraft, but haven't seen it on flight sim vids anywhere.
I really want to get flying again. I miss it terribly. So any info on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
Will check back periodically to see what advice i get.
Thanx in advance.
Hammer308, out.
