I'm not sure if you need one (it's not done installing yet, haven't been able to play it), but I've got a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It's super cheap for a joystick, less than $30 on Amazon, and it's really nice! I've used it for Aerofly and it worked pretty well. If you can't afford/get one, you can probably just use a gamepad for FSX as well.

My friend just bought a Cyberpower similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-GXiVR8020A-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B01HNBLHAA

It's a little different from the one he got, but this one is under 500 pounds and should run games with some pretty nice framerates. He likes his PC, the only issue is the CPU is a tad bit on the weak side but it should still hold up.

Also, we live in America so I hope the PC is available in your region as well. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Also, Dan's PC is insane and has two Titan X GPUs, which are around $1000 EACH, so you're not getting anywhere close to that for 500 pounds.

I got the KFA2 version because it was only £319 on Ebuyer but it doesn't look that nice plus it doesn't come with any special software. I recommend [this one] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CYIQ00K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1397740064&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165). It has special software, is over clocked and really quiet. Actually Matt had it before he got his GTX 780Ti.

To be honest not much (in OpenGL). I've just got this book, hoping to change that.

EDIT: I didn't get it yet, luckily. I'm looking at the date. 2005. A bit outdated probably. Suggestions, I'm still searching.

> but as it stands, it's just too little for too much (money).

That describes the vast majority of sets, really. Especially if there are non-block equivalents out there that you make the mistake of comparing sets to (eg, you can get the standard Kenner-style Poe Damaron's X-Wing for probably 2/3rds the price of the LEGO version - and it'll look more movie-accurate, have more detail and be of a better build quality :).

edit: Yep. 2/3rds the price. CA$59.99 for the traditional style, CA$92.99 (though its MSRP's CA$100) for the LEGO version. :)

Space Shuttle & Apollo Mission Simulator

It's a pretty shitty simulator, with lots of unlabeled buttons and no clear direction. It's perfect!

Here's a rough idea of what to expect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2RwTHAAZfw

You're probably not using the right cable. You need to use D-DVI for 144hz, a cable like this

Mine came with one (BenQ XL2411Z)

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBL8BER/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I'm immensely pleased with it. Personal recommendation is find a prebuilt configuration from like Amazon or somewhere. Doing a custom build from them is more expensive than building it yourself, but a prebuilt is around the same. you get a solid keyboard and mouse from them too. I was on a budget of 1200, and I got a pretty shit monitor, but for the PC I run PUBG on Medium and Ghost Recon Wildlands on High both topping over 60fps. the only difference between mine and the one in the link is that I have an i5-7500 not an i7.

If you're looking for the closest thing to the TV version of the lineup, you'll want to look for a (much cheaper) copy of New Teen Titans #1. http://www.amazon.com/New-Teen-Titans-The-Archives/dp/1563894858

That lineup has the TV cast plus Kid Flash and Wonder Girl, and is the closest thing there is to the TV show. Though, this version o the Titans is from the 1980s.
