You may all know about my explots as a trainee pilot and the countless times I have died after unrecoverable stalls, engine failures and at one time hypoxia after I forgot to switch on the packs on a 737 from Amsterdam to Lowi:D:D:D:D
Yesterday I acquired a 2010 Ford fiesta rally car (Actually a rally simulator software). The work on it is not complete. The steering column (force feedback by the way) is mounted. The pedals are mounted too. Just missing a 24V power source and we are good to go, am on the way to buy one right now.
How I wish I was 16 again!!!
…
100, 4L long opens 100,
brow into immediate 2L caution narrows,
200 into big jump stay left into brow…
To finish!
@Web, on the left of the steering, Look again. I can also set up the sim as automatic so I dont bother that that would kill the immersion. It also has paddles behind it, they can be used to change gears or as a handbrake. @AFI, googling that one @Sunny, forget heathrow, try Mumbai on a rainy day , fog, foggy, fuggly…No ils, no landing…
Ktalk Birrionaires mumeamua peasants hawataishi kwa amani? Jana @jimmy_m akawachokoza kwa hii thread ya golf alafu leo ni simulators. Chezeni chini wazito, one day the peasants will say enough is enough, pick their pitchforks and storm your mansions.
Damn! I like the station. can i bring my 7-yr old one Saturday for just an hour on the seat? He would love it.
Alafu, tukuwe serious. Is this a representation of the cost of the setup?
@Captain - You only live once, let me enjoy my short time on earth, pretending to be the things I would have loved to be but could not. Hiyo kuku, guinea fowl, geese, dush, doggy, rabbit, bibi, clande na watoto tumeyaona yote.
Investment is moderate, ask specifically and you shall be answered, the secret is to invest gradually over time in the order below,
Computer - anything from 50K upwards
…
Simulation Software (Piratebay and free wifi are your friends, for a small fee I can donate my collection)
Yoke, - 190USD
rudder 190USD (I can sell my joystick for pittance) 60USD
throttle quadrant - 120USD
…
Steering column - 190USD including the pedals
clutch and brakes
Above estimates are nett of taxes, DHL and KRA chaps :D:D:D:D:D:D
A large desk, a comfortable chair, home space and lots of free time from that nagging wife or girlfriend. Some bottle of good whisky or cold cans of my favourite white cap and manuals that I will also happily forward by mail The only other thing you will need is a few minutes everyday for the gym, a walk or cycling whichever you fancy!!!
was never meant to rub anyone the wrong way, it’s very unfortunate that some comments took an ugly turn and missed the actual message of the thread by several miles, just a hobby and i believe every one has one
@aviator, 7 years a little too young to appreciate fully but it is never too early to start a career path, reaching the pedals (rudder or brakes) would be a problem though. Talk to me nicely and a Sunday afternoon could do. You come with the young chap and six cold cans of whitecap:D:D:D
