This is kind of a ramble...bear with me.
I'm trying to figure out what I should add next to my sim pit. I have a couple goflight modules: buttons, toggle switches, and the two modules that can be used with radios/ap functions. I have ch yoke and pedals. I had my birthday on the 16th. I was thinking of getting their mcp pro. Or should I be practical and get their advanced ap module? Sort of on top of it, my main FS rig became my MythTV box as it had a motherboard problem, so I need to build a new system. I am waiting for nehalem to come out. Other items I am interested in is TrackIR and some of the scenery software. For display I have two 19" CRTs, one 19" for EADI NAV etc.., notebrick has FMC on it.
Granted, the last couple of years I have not really flown that much. I am newlywed - 5 years now. I think my wife wasn't too happy first couple years when I was doing soo much simming (which was actually VATSIM ATC'ing). I think part of problem was she had moved too far away to keep her old job. It's taken almost five years to find a job. Hopefully her most recent one she likes and keeps forever. Enough mushy stuff, my wife ok'd the MCP. Also said I could build new system for XMAS. I think the scenery software would be ok too since it's soo much less than the other goodies. Is there anything else that I might want to consider instead?
