Scrapyard Wars

[cpeterson19]

Hello everyone,

Im sure if you are here you have heard of scrapyard wars, the segment on LTT. Well i live in the st.paul, MN and was thinking about trying to do mine own scrapyard wars and was wondering if any of you guys have tried this!

 

Please if you have post your cost and what hardware was acquired and any benchmarks you ran, as well as photos.

 

I love this segment and would love yo hear what the community has tried.

 

I will update with mine once i start!

 

Thanks!

didn'T knew you could get a flight sim faa aprooved. (so no its not)
i ill look for that  (would be sick since were mostly pilots)

aaannnd its FSX steam edition. we have the original gold one, but the steam version is better optimised.

but be carefull. what I did is suuper sketchy. the surround barely works and any windows update ruins the flight sim setup completly. (plus half the drivers )

idk if its mentionned, but I have an image of the hdd as a backup if anything breaks *again* 


we play some war thunder too, when our router isin't shit (its behind a brick wall XD)
