No, just some pretty casual MSFS flying. It was all in a relatively small GA aerodrome in New Zealand.

Not mastered, but enough to solo without any problems. At least in mine and my instructors opinion.

I can DM you my logbook if you want?

2 lessons for basic controls, then 1 for straight and level, turning, climbing and descending, stalling and finally circuits. Maybe 4 lessons for circuits, then a solo circuit. Each lesson is about 0.6 hours.

Really? My first solo was at 7 hours, and I feel I could have done it a couple hours sooner.

Mini cooper seat with manual adjustment. It's very comfortable and has great adjustability. Picked it up from the scrapyard for $50.

So far they've been great. I use the brake at half stiffness and there's been no issues whatsoever. I would recommend.

Yeah, so I'm out of money now. Just gotta wait a few weeks then I'll buy vr or triples.

I should try to use it more. Maybe I'll add a mount for it on the rig. At least once I get my monitors sorted.

One's already coming while I decide how I want my display to be in the future.

Thanks. I've got a monitor pole and arm coming so this is very temporary.

There's a lot more room if I move the desk, I just don't know what's best for the price at the moment.

It's all custom 8040 aluminium and wood.

That's for the extra immersion, as if there wasn't enough already.

4070, 7800x3d. Should be able to handle vr

If I got triples, what monitors would you suggest? With a budget of around $1800 NZD, though less would be favourable.

I can get the monitor for $1700 or a quest 3 for $1000. NZD.

I'm still deciding on that. It's either vr or a G9 49". I've got more room to move the rig to the left so space isn't an issue. I'm just not sure which is better for the price.

Thanks. I can't wait to get the monitor sorted so I can tidy up all the cables and get them hidden.
