How many $$$$

[RipChord929]

How much money have you dropped to play AHII???
To improve your equipment, expand capabilities,
enhance your gameplay?

Lets keep it limited to just money spent, that was
prompted by the GAME.. Otherwise ya wouldn't
have spent those greenbacks, (or whatever)...

Just curious, because I've dropped about 3G's in
the last 6 months, prompted by this game..

Hopefully, I'm not alone...

Let's just say that I could have taken a few trips to Hawaii or Tahiti 

[Kazaa]

I tend not to think about it. But I have spent close to £300 on a new CH setup, yes that's almost $600, someone at Amazon is making a small fortune of me.

[Wobbly]

Nothing, I have a 4 year old AMD3000/6800GT and a Saitek X36 I bought 7 years ago for European Air War or Fighter Ace or IL2, I cant remember.

Oh, I lie, I bought another gig of ram for £30. Didnt make any difference.

uhm.. lesseee... though not specifically for AH, I DID upgrade my PC for gaming, (I do this abt once every 2 yrs) Roughly 2k each time...

Saitek X52 Pro 150ish
Saitek Pedals 150ish
Vuzix VR-920 400
USB Wife-Ack(noise) Cancelling headset - 79.99
Total? Too freakin much.  (Dont let me wife see this post LOL!)

Ha ha, errrrrm

New PC - Check
Saitek Throttle and Joystick - Check
Saitek Pedals - Check
New Widescreen Monitor - Check
Track IR (Twice as I broke the camera) - Check

Guess you could say waaaay to much, but its worth it - where else could I meet so many nice people (and then attempt to kill them all???)

Can I include $ I spent on another online flight sim when it was $2/hour?  I'm sure some of the AW people spent more than that years ago.

[Banshee7]

let's see

Saitek ST290 Pro:  $25
upgrade to X52:  $115
6 headsets at $15 ea:  $90
1 headset:  $45
then almost 2 years of playing time:   $329

Grand total:   $574

[smokey23]

In total over the 4 or so years includeing new CPU, vid card joystick and so on ive spent about $800.00 not counting the monthly fee, i should have got addicted to crack instead, i probly would have saved money

[FiLtH]

   I upgraded my pc back in like 03 I think. Was maybe 800 bucks, but was not just for this game. Beyond that not much.

[moot]

Since 99... Probably a few thousand..
Saitek Cyborg gold 50$
Saitek Cyborg Gold 50$
Saitek Cyborg Evo  prolly another 50$
pedals 90$
A nice monitor .. 400$
Computer update in ~2002 CPU@200 + ram@±100 + mobo@120 + AIW radeon 300$
Saitek X45 something like 150$ I guess
CH fighterstick  150$
Geforce 9800 + power supply (died two weeks ago) 400$
And another 9800 + power supply 200 + 100$ a month from now when I get paid.. So a bit over 2500 with the stuff I probably forgot about.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less then I used to when I flew radio control!

Now, when I tear up a plane I magically get a brand new one.  I kinda like that.

[captain1ma]

2 X52's@ $129 and $99 respectively
new 22" monitor -- $250
rudder pedals -- $149
razor-- headset  $199
Razor--soundcard that doesnt work, so i used my old one-- $69
new video card that didnt do much either -- $99
total $994

this doesnt include hours and hours of time wasted playing and trying to get good.  

[Helm]

Lets not forget Aces used to be $29.99 a month ...that added up fast! 



Helm ...out

[BaldEagl]

2 new computers @ $2K each (although not 100% for AH)
Various parts/upgrades about $1K
Money to HT about $1.5K

$4500 give or take since '96 (includes AW) or $375/year ($31/mo.).  Still not a bad value.
