*sales person voice* If anyone lives in the Greater Seattle area and wants to get into flight simulator pits boy do I have a deal for you #seattle #DCS #buy #flightsim

We’re moving internationally and my wife who is an avid DCS F-18 pilot is selling her rig. Individually she paid about $4k for all the pieces. She was also laid off last week so we could really use the money

We just need it gone so there’s a hefty discount if you can pick it up yourself.

Items:
SimLab chair
Winwing F/A-18C Orion 2 HOTAS
Winwing TOP GUN MIP
SimLab Monitor Mount
Gigabyte M32UC 32” 144hz (160hz OC) 4K curved monitor
Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder
Stream Deck XL

I think this is the year I will buy and construct a rig to properly play #EagleDynamics #DigitalCombatSimulator #DCS. I get too excited by the prospect of flying my favorite fighter, the F-15E Strike Eagle. I got an incentive ride in SN 90-0258 in 1992 out of RAF Lakenheath and it blew my mind. aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDossi Now that the prospect of buying an official DCS version of the plane seems real, I’m motivated. youtu.be/jIY8eIDUHZU

I was just watching part of today’s performance by the virtual #Thunderbirds. They use #DigitalCombatSimulator #DCSWorld #DCS by #EagleDynamics to simulate the real USAF demo team show. So much of this is amazing. First, the pilot skill is off the charts. Second, I had to remind myself that this was a commercial simulator on PCs. Third, apart from a few Twitch glitches, the demo showed how pilots could coordinate precise flying using the Internet. (I don’t recommend it for real; I’m just amazed it works at all). Demo starts here: twitch.tv/videos/1675275264?t=

From 2015-19, #DCS investigated the family lives of 1 of every 3 Black children in #Maricopa County, #Arizona according to a ProPublica/NBC News analysis.

A recent study projected that by the time Black children in Maricopa turn 18, there’s a 63% chance they'll see their parents investigated by DCS, the highest rate among the 20 largest US counties.

Put another way, more Black children in metro #Phoenix will go through a child maltreatment investigation than won’t.
