Jarhead has inspired me to make my next shot in the great Grogs simpit arms race. 

I am now tracking some packages coming from Chengdu. 

I should also probably think about selling off a lot of my old kit.  Not sure how much use I'll have for my old Thrustmaster Cougars by this time next week.

Oh, damn, I need a chair like that right away.

Well, I sold my motion rig. The thing took up a tremendous amount of space in my office and I found that more and more, I was preferring to fly from my traditional desk and chair set-up because getting started in the motion rig was such a chore and sometimes a time sink too. Often, I'd get in and settled only to have some issue with the computer, VR headset or some peripheral and have to unstrap and delicately get out of the seat. I listed it in a facebook group and within 24-hours it was sold. Guy picked it up on Sunday. It was sad to see it go, but I don't regret the the decision. I figure if I ever want to go back to motion, I can buy a new one, that has been upgraded in a few significant ways since I got mine, or go with a totally different option as the market is not as lonely anymore.

For now, I'm setting up my Next Level Racing Boeing Military Edition Cockpit and really looking forward to getting back into flying.

I know what you mean. I loathe having to mess with hardware to satisfy some software.

It's the reason why I don't do racing games anymore.
