Title: Christmas 2019! What flight simulator/real pilot gift did you get?
Post by: blueskydriver on December 25, 2019, 03:39:04 PM
It's Christmas Day 2019!

Speaking of which, if you got a wrapped up flight simulator Christmas gift from someone today please share what it is and the gift giver.

Why? Well, it'll tell a story as to what others think about you and flight simulation and/or if you're a real pilot. For example, if you got software, then you must've spoke about that too someone enough to get a related gift, or if you got a funny airplane t-shirt; maybe, you didn't speak much about your hobby/piloting and the other person went with a simple safe bet gift.

Otherwise, there is no specific point about this, it's just to have fun and share stories about being in this hobby/lifestyle and/or even being a real pilot and what others have gifted you....

I enjoy collecting old aviation paraphernalia. Got this little gem for Christmas from my wife.

(Also got "Funding" for a new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition but waiting for any good sales)

For my sim.....all I got was a lump of coal!  Can't even use that in the fuel tanks!

And that is a bit startling to me since I suspect Santa was flying my sim Christmas Eve.....the nav route destination was set to the North Pole and there was reindeer poo tracked inside.

Fred you're funny! And Ray, getting more funding is great, but old books are worth so much more...as someday there will be no more books...printed ones anyway...lol!

Regarding the new video card, hold out for the sales for sure. They'll drop after the first of the year.

Oh what did I get you ask? LEGOS, lots of Legos! And, a box of 100 count metal screws. Yep, the screws are for the simulator projection screen stand. I ran out before the holiday and was to preoccupied to go get more since I was busy with building our Lego City.
