Stage 10....and counting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   OK, so I know there is no stage 9 or 10, but it sure feels like it.  Actually, my machine shipped out on Monday but the shipping gods are not smiling down on me.  Since my machine has to come to South Florida, it requires a full 5 days so I have to placate myself over the weekend with no flying machine.  I was tempted to upgrade my shipping to 3 day but the extra $300 went to a brand spanking new 27 inch Samsung LED monitor. Anyway, with a Monday delivery looming, who knows? I may be feeling a little on the sick side early next week....

So, here is what I ordered, with the fantastic help of the guys in the configuration forum:

Once I get a forklift to move this 70lb box up to the condo,  I will take some pictures of the first boot.  Then I have hours of FSX and related scenery to install before I get to enjoy my first flight.  That part is never fun!

Thanks for looking,

Eric
