I ordered my setup yesterday and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I had some direct help through pm from more than one person (whom I've already thanked the same way), and they provided me with the most useful information. However those of you who posted your own gear (which was what I was actually expecting/hoping to get) also helped a LOT.
I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you to everyone who contributed to my being able to get back into the virtual skies of WWI.
