Amazon has been pissing me off lately. 2-3-4 week delivery times in spite of buying stuff on 2 day prime (been prime member for a very long time). I've been preferentially buying local and using Amazon less and less but the pandemic has really made Amazon even less appealing due to shipping times. Plus, when Bezos makes $13B in a single day its time for the rest of us to spread the wealth if he won't.
Not a fan of Walmart; never occurred to me to buy computer hardware there.
I used NewEgg because they had stock for what I wanted, had shipped stuff to me in the past in a reasonable time frame. Regarding prices, I'm not in the U.S. so there wasn't much in it at the time and I was willing to pay in order to get some form of reasonable delivery time. I bought the RAM at NE, everything else local.
Ultimately, who you buy from is a personal issue. Some only care about getting the lowest price, some want to support local, some won't buy from specific vendors or manufacturers due to history, bad experience, whatever.
yep, that makes totally sense, no participate in making a monopolio even bigger. I have to admit my share of guilt here, because I normally don't think in these consequences. But, I have to be honest that everytime someone reminds me that, it is contributing a little bit more in one day, make the last and avoid definitely one of those big guys (in this case Amazon).
By the way, thank so much for your answer, super useful

Super cool thread, it helped to me a lot. The thing is I am considering to change the processor of my PC, around 4yrs, and is going pretty slow. Hoever, I think I have a good GPU.
And something that catches my attention is you are only using Newegg shop, it is for any reason? something better than Amazon, or Walmart? Case is I found a list of competing prices, and it seems that Newegg is a bit expensive than those two, and I would like to know why before do any order. Thanks!

Thank you all of you. :) I saw and learned of this video:
I just saw the entire video, pretty well explained, thanks!.
Actually I have checked a little bit more on the channel of this guy, and there are a bunch of other interesting videos with tutorials, and reviews :thumbup:

So then, I guess you need a plane very easy to pilot, full of combat options available, right? In your opinion, then, which one would you recommend if it is not an official trainer plane?
-
what about some of the official jet trainer? Like for example:
Lockheed T-33 from USA
Mikoyan MiG-AT from Russia
Folland Gnat from UK
I can imagine that if those are the real aircraft for training real pilots, on the simulation could also be pretty useful for beginners
P.D: I found this list, and much more on Wikipedia, just typing "Jet trainer"
-
Wow!, the music is pretty nice, and the quality of the video is very cool!
My only point of improvement it was, it takes some minutes to start to flight (or at least seeing moving the airplane), for the rest, great :)
P.D: Thanks for sharing the specifications in which you ran it
-
wow, impressive. Thanks a lot for these resources
-
I would say, remember to connect using an Ethernet cable instead of wireless connection. By default, wireless loses much more speed than connected directly by cable
-
that is actually quite true :P, I just tried to be a bit polite, but yes, what you said is quite true
-
Thanks for the explanation :). Yes, is true, as far as I know from some Japanese friends I have, it seems that Japan always faced this dilemma between modern and tradition, especially when new things thread traditions somehow. From what they told me after WWII until the last 10 years, the people got focused more on modern and outside of the country, rather than tradition and nationalist, but it seems that with Abe that has changed a bit.
-
wow, thanks a lot for this long context. I did not know that Japan aircraft at the time was so dependent on other countries... mainly because they tend to be so proud our themself and because it tended to be a quite close country by then.
Actually, it is curious how one of the most important companies by then, Mitsubishi, started with Aircraft around the time you mentioned 1920s, before was a shipping company and coal mining one... bravo for the post :)

And if you're using the F9 or F6 camera...
The resources to do an accurate sea floor is marginal so long as you have the data (which is trivial to come by, you can just google it).
The sea floor doesn't need to be high resolution at all, detail can be made absent, just so long as it's the right depth.
Well, actually that is what I am talking about, details are not relevant if are not going to be seen, or are going to be seen very small, I think we are talking pretty much the same ...:)

But the whole point of this is not about visibility, but about functionality, especially with submarine warfare, naval mines etc.
Of course we could keep the current depth of 100m like it is right now, but then submarines, once ED developed a submerge feature, they would simply drop through the map and that's it.
I know I know, but my point is, even you have to compute mines, submarines, etc, you don't need to render everything.
For example, if you are flying, and you are looking down, max you can see is 50m deep. So, if there is a submarine or any other thing at 200m, why you need to render the whole submarine? The only thing you need is to let know to your radar, there is a submarine there.
The fact that is not rendered does not mean that it is not doing its functionality, that submarine even not rendered, is fully working. Meaning still can detect you, or detect boats, still can attack, etc, etc. Just you don't need to render everything, and that for sure will speed up the whole map, and improve the experience.
I hope I explaining well the idea :(
-
Well, this is DCS, not real life
just make your plane sink, and then you will see how non-existent the visibility, or more the lack of it, is down there.
Yes, exactly that was my point, you don't need so much visibility underwater
-
Yeah, especially when the water gets the deepest it gets on the planet around here - it would be a little silly if we drop a Mk-40 (only supposed to be laid at depths up to 300 feet) down where the Mariana trench should be, and have it still work as if it was only 300 feet deep.
Submarines have just become a thing with 2.5.6, as have torpedoes. Sure, they're only in their infancy and there's still plenty of work to be done, but it is getting there.
Well not really, you don't need to model everything if it is not going to be visible. Of course, you can calculate it somehow, but if it is not going to be shown from outside, why expend that resources to tenderize it?
Even underwater, because the max visibility underwater normally is 100m max, not considering going deeper where the amount of light is so few, so then, why render everything if is not going to be shown?
-
It is true, in the deep ocean, it is very difficult to distinguish 10, 20, or 50m deep. And also, on the coast, great beach water allows you to see max 20m, so I don't see why is so important to model all the underwater landscape if is not going to be visible
-
Wow man, such a nice channel. I have seen a couple of videos and look pretty good. And by the way, congrats for the good amount of subscribers
-
Wow boy, the screenshots are amazing, especially liked it the ones at night, the detail of the lights indicators are amazing, great job!!
-
Such a great collection of videos, thanks guys :)
Best DCS-PC?

From my own experience, I support totally the message of Thinder. I think having an AMD Ryzen is a great option, I have the version 5, and the simulator it works amazingly well.
And as far as I know, at this moment they are up to version 7. However, if you don't want to stick only on that one, because prices or anything else, I think AMD have a huge variaty of very good GPUs, and is easy to find in any shop as you can see on this list of amds GPUs. But still, if you prefer to continues with Intel, probably by name that one is always a safe option, but probably not the best one.
