Hi All! This is my first posting on this great forum. It is so informative and helpful for a simulator novice like me and I have had some super info just from reading various topics.
I live in the UK and began my sim experience about two years ago by building a set up in my garage at home. I bought a GC2+HMT with FR1 second hand. The software included over 90
courses. Even so I bought and use TGC 2019 for play and just use the FR1 for practice/fitting.
I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment and was hoping someone on here may be able to offer some advice?
Recently I replaced the flash (a spare was included in my purchase) I contacted foresight here in the UK to try and buy another spare flash unit. This is when my worries began!!!!!!
I was told that only a superflash unit could be purchased at a cost of £500 (approx $650) as the standard one was discontinued. I have read all about Andy and his megaflash so I thought I
would PM him to see if he could help me out. However, on thinking about this it has crossed my mind that there may be issues ahead in the near future.
I got the impression from the foresight guy he had little interest in my set-up! He was keen to tell me all about GCQuad GC3 Fsx2020 and FsxPlay (even though GC3 is not yet available here)
When I looked at the Foresight Europe website I was shocked to see that many of the GC2 accessories were no longer available. PANIC BUTTON HIT!!!!!
I bought my GC2/HMT Fr1 setup second hand for £8000 in 2020 which at the time seemed a reasonable price. I simply do not have the resources for a Quad.
My dilemma is now this: Is the GC2 going to be phased out so that there will be no further Foresight support? Should i just try and sell my set-up and get a GC3? (Quad out of the question sadly)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for reading and apologies if a bit long winded!
