NZFF

I was thinking of completing a second pc with parts generously donated by members here, but i havent won those so i thought maybe someone would like to help complete it and sell it on TM or here and split the profits...
it will include:

*Case.
*DVD Drive.
*Card Reader (for all major camera cards etc...)
*Motherboard.
*(maybe) CPU... depends if my new one arrives in time.

If you want to help finish i and then help me sell it (or just keep it...) PM me.

Well I was considering, at some stage, approaching the museum at the Tauranga airport (since I live here now) and seeing if they wanted me to set up some sort of Flightsim for them- Fs9, Real NZ Tauranga and maybe get someone on board to make a rudimentary pit and Joystick etc. Computer parts, I envisaged, would be donated by NZFF members and the whole shebang plastered with 'donated and maintained by the members of the New Zealand Flightsim Forums' etc

But I was intending for this be a little bit further down the track...

tauranga airport has their own multi-million dollar siomulator

but i guess you just mean for the museum visitors...

I was thinking of the same thing a while back although I dont have any hardware to donate at this stage..drop me a PM if you need a hand

One helll of an idea , since pc after a while are virtually worthless , i given many systems away to get poeple started , a museum would be ideal . The moment running a little short on pc's .

Don't know if its worth it though, As the flight Sim place is right next door

At cost , lotta people cannot afford 'Flight Experience' I believe this idea is not just for Tauranga but with other smaller aviation museums in mind .

Maybe The Omaka Aviation Heritage center With Real NZ Marlborough?

I envisaged it would be similar to the one at Motat- I.e. simple screen simple pit, a keyboard with some/most keys blanked out just leaving the necessary ones (or triggered off joystick buttons) etc......you wouldn't have to pay extra for it, just a fun 'have a blast' type sim in some of the warbirds that can be seen at the museum.

Thats all you need really isn't it?

Good point Timmo,

I understand your point alot better now.
Be great for the old guys to give it ago

I've just started a new thread about some old gameport controllers I'm dumping here. They may end up being given away.

woot, new case arrived yesterday (while i was away) gonna start moddig as soon as my new Mobo arrives. everything depends on that new mobo

i dont really mind where it goes, motat is another good idea or omaka, i just want it to spread the 'love'/'addiction' of the FS world

what is the MB that you are giving away?
I have a new one on order and was going to use my old one but the co-processor fan is dying.

yea interested in helping out
got a old 128mb graphics card u can use

asterope3, so if your Mobo is better it would be great because i still have a fairly good cooler on my mobo we can use

and that GPU sounds good but dunno bout its X capabilities.
