Sounds like a great plan.
It is possible to keep this hobby at a comfortable level.
I know, I go all in and get the most realistic add ons available and spend hours learning how to use it. I also build my own controllers and spend more time setting up my SimBox than I do simming. And then there can be months where I don’t have time for more than a quick dogfight fix every now and then.
Any hobby of mine must be scaleable, or someone will need to start making 30hr days, as an add on. 
My personal take is to slowly start already.
At least you’ll have all the time to download the various GB of maps and modules, get a grip on the new issues and features… you know- ease your way in.
It’s nice.
Well, gents (if anyone is still here…) I found myself a possible golden key, a simple solution to my ergonomic problems that will allow me to keep my racing wheel and H-shifter clamped to my desk while having my HOTAS firmly attached to my chair. And you can even quick-release these attachments so as not to impede non-simming office-work at the keyboard:
Thus emboldened – really, any other solution would have been a kludge, I just know it – I plan to get as large a gaming monitor as I can and essentially build my new PC around that. This would give me the option to run VR while knowing that, with TrackIR, the non-VR experience will be pretty state-of-the-art, too. Does anyone know if one very high-end gfx card will suffice for this setup, or is this why people get two? I am not contemplating triples, just a single high-performance monitor (Largest of which appears to be 32").
As always, your feedback will be much appreciated.
