Midwinter Sale!

Always pays to be patient, one should never pay full price if you don't have to, eh?
PBTech has a 38" curved widescreen monitor from LG, a whopping $600 off.
I suspect this is Deeknow's fault, he planted the seed which has never gone away :)
It's kind of hard to explain, but reminds me of the first time I went to a Cinerama movie.
I love it, it also acts as a USB hub so everything runs off it: TrackIR (surprisingly), soundbar etc
Has a rear light, too. :o

And I will forego VR for now, leaning slightly into the gauges solves all those legibility problems!

In fact, I have gone back to a single joystick too, which is what I have used for flightsim since the get-go.
There is more mapping available on it, than I have use for.
Throttle, brakes, flaps, & tophat views cover 97.5% of my simming, and all the rest can be moused.

Everything always seems to happen at once: Windows 11 suddenly announced you could no longer edit video in the photos app, and forced me to download their new thing.
Well you would do a 10-minute AI-assist doodle, wouldn't you?
