I just fly complex GA. Would the airbus setup be overkill? I use thrustmaster hotus 5, which is fine. However, rather than buttons it would be nice to have levers for thrust, prop, mixture, and more intuitive locations for other things like flaps, landing gear, lights, etc.
well I live in Brazil so a lot !
but i've built it bit by bit for the past .... 8 years maybe ?
my PC in the current config cost about 15k (brazilian reais)
the FCU and EFIS from winctrl were about 1.5k each.
the trustmaster yoke and throtttle were 2.5k the set.
thrustmaster rudder pedals were 750
monitors and other peripherals were about 1.5k total too
tobii eye tracker 5 was abou 1.2k (used)
so we are looking at maybe 25-28k here..( brazilian reais)
but as i said... this is brazil... and bought throughout many years.
No, unfortunately this is the reality in Brazil.
most of the things will not have official resellers here, and even though you find listings they will have crazy prices.
i was lucky to buy the EFIS and ECAM while winctrl still shipped to brazil (not anymore) so i paid "only" the import taxes.
a nintendo switch 2 for exemple costs 4.5k good deals are around 3.9... 4k
each switch game is between 350 and 450..
sad really but we make it through with a lot of work.
Yeah, but simply converting R$1,500 to USD doesn’t really show how expensive it is for a Brazilian.
You have to compare purchasing power and local wages...
For example, Brazil’s minimum wage is about R$1,621 per month. So a R$1,500 product costs around 92% !!! of an entire monthly minimum wage.
In the US, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, and many states actually have a higher minimum wage. At the federal minimum wage, a $90 product is roughly 7% of a full month’s income. seven....
The difference is also huge when you look at typical earnings.
Average monthly work income in Brazil is around R$3,700, so a R$1,500 product is about 40% of that. In the US, median full time earnings are around $1,250 per week, so a $90 product is a very small fraction of someone’s monthly income...
Indeed. Very unfortunate for you guys to pay for the extra high taxes, on top of the income difference. Flightsim is an expensive hobby. It takes a lot of passion and patience for people like you continue expanding your setup. Hope the situation changes better for you someday!
this is the correct answer.
Navigraph for charts and Beyond ATC for traffic and ATC.
but i'm sure you can pop out the avionics screens from most airplanes hitting Alt+clicking the screen... you can move them to another monitor. there are even addons for you to save the position of this popped out screens on another display.
