I am grateful that I'm old enough to have been there at the start (almost). I will never criticize Asobo and Microsoft for what they have achieved, even on their worst day.2yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/flightsim
It might make me look like I'm in a wheelchair, but assigning my steering wheel to the elevator trim had improved my flying no end. Trimming my plane is a breeze.4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/flightsim

If you find yourself getting frustrated with mandatory updates in MSFS , think f of it as bad weather grounding you. Nothing you can do about it .⛈️🤷♂️2yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/flightsim
My latest upgrade. Was really pleased with my RT81 over the last 10.months. But, now my daughter is really getting into vinyl, it was really grieving me to listen to her using a crossley type TT. So I upgraded to a P3 so she can have my RT81. That's what dad's are for, right ?4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
Even if you are on a budget, you can still be generous. My wife was complaining about the crappy sound on her TV. I said she could have my Cambridge Audio A1 knowing full well I would have to replace it at my own expense with this Yamaha A-S301. It feels good to do the right thing.....😂4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
Dear Microsoft. Could you send me the latest VR update on disc(s) ? I have tried contacting the telephone & telex numbers on the back of the manual, but they appears to be disconnected.3yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/flightsim

£15 amp from a charity shop, some 30w speakers from an defunct micro system, £10 of speaker cable and an old mobile I found in a draw. Having a happy bank holiday.5yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
Who remembers using Bryce 3D back in the 2000's and spending hours waiting for one photo realistic frame to be rendered ? It is amazing what Asobo and Microsoft have achieved 20 years later. Hard to believe what processing power we are playing with these days.3yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/flightsim
Whilst setting up my racing pedals for use as rudder pedals I decided to try and set up my Steering wheel as my elevator trim wheel. What a game changer !! Setting my trim feels so much more organic now. Ok, so I look like professor ...😂4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/Xplane

Going from a cheap record player to a budget turntable makes all the difference. I was concerned that I couldn't justify getting a turntable as I hardly used my Record player. So glad I made the leap as I have not stopped using my turntable for nearly two weeks now !!4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
The whole family. Over the last 6 months my audio equipment has gone from a £15 charity shop find to a £750+ worth of Turntable, amp and speakers. At what price point do I get banned from this subreddit ? (Note:The speakers are there for the photo only. They work elsewhere. 😂)4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile

On a whim I saw these MS 25i's on Facebook going for £25. As the domes didn't appear to be pushed in and the guy was willing to deliver so I took the risk. They sound great. Think I did good even if they don't have the covers.4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile

My son was playing Mario Cart in the 'Arcade'. Not only did it cost £1 to play, but he won one race and it was game over with no hi score or anything. I guess having a competitive spirit is not to be encouraged any more and simple participation is the only acceptable reward nowadays. ☹️5yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/gaming
Picked up a pair of speaker stands for £10 today. Raising them that extra 12 makes all the difference. 2 questions. The speakers sit on the plate with the feet outside. Is this Ok, or should I do something else ? What is the rule of thumb for speakers in corners ?4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
Been thinking about getting a proper turntable for a while, but wondering if it's more a nostalgia thing than an actual need. So I dug out the beginners turntable my wife bought me couple of years ago to live with until I decide. Obviously won't be playing my best vinyl on it 😁4yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
Humming from turntable. I have a Rega P3 + Elys2 and Yamaha AS-310. If I crank the volume up, I get a hum. If I move the tonearm towards the spindle it gets louder even with the motor turned off. Is this to be exspected at this budget or indicative of a problem ?3yr ⋅ sybull66 ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile
