It's a slippery slope. Before you know it you'll be telling yourself you NEED to buy those new $300 rudder pedals even though your current ones still work. Trust me, I know.

Tell me about it, right now I am trying to figure out how to get myself the HOTAS Warthog - my birthday and Christmas are not to far away........
I got this a few weeks ago. It was on clearance so I got it cheap, and I skimped on lunches for a couple weeks to help pay for it. (The passage of time makes it feel more acceptable. That it was on clearance on the cheap further reduces the ire...notice I don't quote a price here. And that I sacrificed a little bit to help pay for it seals the deal.)Originally Posted by Del
I'm just messing...I don't hide stuff from my wife. Exactly why I don't have rudder pedals or a Warhog HOTAS. Hmmmm, maybe I need to work on being a little more devious...that HOTAS is sounding more like a necessity than a luxury...like a hardware requirment for MQT perhaps? I can blame Snoopy and El Roto right?
Da FAC?
Wrong!I can guess how the conversation would go once she sees it for the first time:
Wife - what's that?
sMaat - what's what?
Wife - that thing that looks like a tablet you are using
sMaat - Oh, that.......
You can see where the conversation is heading!!!
It should go like that:
Wife/GF: What's that?
476th member: What's what.
Wife : that new thing on/under your desk (looks at tablet, Warthog, rudders,...)
476th member: Oh, That's already there for ages.
And for some reason I'm now thinking about Al Bundy and Peggy

I have similar problem to sMaat regarding essential pit upgrade. I'm thinking more of the bribery route:
Warthog HOTAS + rudder pedals = Kitchen Aid
Not only do I get new toys, I also get more cakes to munch on while flying :-D
Careful, you'll end up with a figure like mine.
Da FAC?
Round is a shape like any other.

Did I ever mention that I'm a paid representative of thrust master?

So we go to you for our Warthog HOTAS below cost?
That sounded like an offer to me as well!!!!
