@Sofapiloz dass ich die Halteplattenstärke (bei mir 5 mm) noch draufrechnen darf, davon bin ich ausgegangen. Hatte wirklich nur Angst irgendwas mit einer zu langen Schraube treffen zu können. Aber wenn das Sacklöcher sind ist ja alles tutti. Ich muss festschrauben, weil Monstertech Halterung und nicht auf dem Boden stehend. Ich möchte die WarBRD Halterung weiterverwenden. Danke dir vielmals für die Info!

Hab heute auch die Versandmitteilung bekommen. Da es wohl aus Wuppertal versendet wird, rechne ich dann so am kommenden Montag damit. Damit wäre ich auch eher bei 14 Tagen anstatt 6 Wochen. Frage: zum Befestigen kann man die Schraublöcher in der Bodenplatte nutzen. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit wie lange die Schrauben maximal sein dürfen? Hab keinen Bock mir direkt ein Flachbandkabel o.ä. zu perforieren, nur weil die Schrauben 5 mm zu lang gewählt sind. /edit: ich denke ich habs gefunden. Im PDF-Handbuch sind M4 mit 5.5 und M6 mit 7 angegeben. Ich gehe von Maximalen Millimetern Länge aus. Korrekt gedacht? Link zum PDF: https://image.gudsen.com/MOZA Flight/User Manual/MOZA AB9.pdf

ich begrenze im DCS Profil auch nur die FPS auf 100, weil das für mich gut passt. Sonst mache ich da nichts mehr.

@Sofapilozich meinte doch den @Freiwilderer und er hat ja auch Bestätigt, dass er am 22.11. bestellt hat. Aber bis Weihnachten ist ja noch ein wenig. Hab noch nicht einmal einen Baum ^^

Na, du hattest doch schon im November bestellt, oder nicht? Also schon länger als 2 Wochen her meine ich. Ich vermute, dass meine Base nicht vor Januar hier ist. Wenn doch, freue ich mich. Wenn nicht, auch nicht schlimm.

Ich hab das Ding Anfang der Woche auch einfach mal bestellt. Mal schauen wann es kommt. Ich musste noch etwas warten, weil ich für meine Tischhalterung ein längeres Aluprofil gebraucht habe und keine komplett neue Monstertech Halterung kaufen wollte. Nur der Shop für die Aluprofile hat sich ordentlich Zeit gelassen mit der Lieferung. Naja, geht die Welt nicht unter, wenn dir Base erst 2025 bei mir aufschlägt.

Auf der Caucasus Map ist es tatsächlich etwas meh. Einen schöneren Effekt hat das Ganze bereits auf der Nevada Map (die ja auch betagt ist). Einfach weil das so einen "summery haze" Effekt mitbringt, der in einer Wüstenlandschaft nicht unrealistisch wirkt. Aber er ist auch teilweise etwas kräftig und erschwert das optische Finden von Landebahnen etwas. Klar, man hat seine Instrumente, aber ich brauche halt die Augen trotzdem noch dazu.

Wenn man sich nicht 100% sicher ist was man macht: Immer die Kabel mittauschen. Es gibt zwar Fälle bei denen man das nicht müsste, weil die Belegung gleich ist, aber nachdem ich nicht weiß wie es sich just bei diesem Netzteiltausch verhält und du es ja auch nicht sagen kannst: Kabel tauschen, bzw. nur die Kabel nutzen die mit dem neuen Netzteil mitgeliefert werden. PCIe sind die aktuellen Standard-Stromstecker für Laufwerke. Die die man z.B. an einer SSD dran hat. Früher gabe es ja mal die 4 PIN Molex, das ist jetzt die aktuelle Version davon. PCIe 5.0 dürfte der 12V 2x6 PIN Stecker (früher HPWR) für Grafikkarten sein. P8 sind die 8 PIN 12V Stecker, die ans Mainboard gehen. Bei deinem z690 Carbon obere linke Ecke. Eingepfercht zwischen Gehäuserückwand und Kühlkörper der Spannungswandler. Normal reicht einer, aber ich schließe auch immer beide an. Doppelt gemoppelt hält besser oder so.

Habe irgendwo (ich meine sogar hier im Forum) gelesen, dass es zwischen DCS und TrackIR Probleme gibt, wenn die Version höher als 5.5.0 ist. Ich kenne die Auswirkungen nicht, aber schau mal ob du eine höhere Version als 5.5.0 hast.

Wo habt ihr das Ding bestellt? Direkt beim Hersteller? Bin echt interessiert an der Base. Wenn ich das richtig gesehen habe gibts Schraublöcher die auf die Halterung von der Virpil WarBRD Base passen. Wäre damit eigentlich ideal für mich.

@71st_Mastiff please take your Raptor Lake into account. It doesn't have to be damaged, but you should also always check your CPU if you encounter Issues. A quick and dirty Test is Cinebench r15.0.3.7. If your CPU is okay, it should be able to run this older CB r15 Version a few times in a row without crashing. 10 rounds should be okay. A really bad CPU can also crash on the first try. It is a r15 thing. Neither r20, r23 nor r24 come close to the Load variation and because of this also Voltage variation. I've had a defective 13th Gen a year ago. The stability wasn't a known thing back then. But I remember that I also had stability issues in DCS. But it was mostly while loading. No offence, DCS has its stability things, but as a RL owner we should always also check the CPU.

Is there mounting plate / adapter for Tablemountings like Monstertech or similar? Because the original Mounting plate seems to position the whole Stick a bit too high above the desk.

Even if I get proofed wrong and Intel did a lousy job: you should never ever "trust" any Hardware Manufacturer. They all just want your money and are not your friend. AMD has some sympathy points as they are regarded as the underdog. But they won't hesitate a second to pull an Intel or Nvidia move if they are in the position to do so. We are customers. We need competition in order to keep sane prices. And we should always look after things like BIOS Settings. These days more than ever. The Processors are fast, they get hot and they are all pushed to their limits. I've lately came across some entries in the Steam forums where an AMD CPU User described a Shader Cache Build up Error in UE5 Games. These things happen. Even if they are more common on Raptor Lake CPUs it is not an exclusive thing.

The more interesting thing on Arrow Lake will be that the E Cores will be much stronger. And rumours say that Arrow Lake could have some Issues with "older" Win 11 Installations as the Scheduler, Powerplan and so on isn't that good in handling the Workload on this new CPUs. Same Rumours say, that there is a new not so official Build of Win11 that should do a better job, but we will find out on tomorrows Release Tests how well it will work. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Arrow Lake turns out to be better than expected. But probably not for people that want to put things together and just turn it on. We will see. As I said there are only rumours.

This sounds like the search for something like an "Auto Aim". I really don't know if the latest and greatest real life Aircraft can do this, but it isn't something I'd like to see in a game (sorry for all the DCS is not a game people - you shurely know what I want to say here).

I don't know open track, but it shouldn't be that you need to turn your head to the edge of one direction and your eyes at the max angle of the other direction. At least in Track IR you can finetune the needed movement. It is more a matter of using a few degrees. And this is something you can get used to. Thinking about driving at a road. There is always some independent movement of body/head and eyes necessary in order to stay safe. You do this naturally for shure. Headtracking shouldn't need more. Actually I do a lot more movement with wider angles in a car or riding the motorcycle.

I am with @captain_dalan on this one. I am not the one that needs a spot on simulation in the last niche that can be done, because there will always be things you can't simulate. But Heatblur should really look into his findings. And it is not rivet counting. Not as long as Strings and Tapes in the Cockpit also got working hours in the schedule. I would even say this should be higher prioritized than any optical wobbling of wings or stabilizers although the wobbling would do a lot for the immersion. But I am afraid that all the hours go into Phantom. The Tomcat feels a bit abandoned at the moment.

Okay then

First of all the TV is not exactly at 120 Hz it is 119.8 or something. And then there is the fluctuation of the rendered frames while it tries to sync via VRR. My personal experience is that its best kept at max 116 Hz in Order to not exceed the 119.8 Hz of the TV. Else there are people that can see the Tearing if the FPS are above the capability of the TV. The other effect is the problem of VRR Flicker in black Regions. It gets way less if you set a limit to ~110 Hz max. Try it.

True words. Energy safing comes also down to your usage. If you are like me and have a lot of idle times or low load times out of Gaming or other "Full Load", an Intel CPU can even be the cheaper solution. Get whatever gives you a "wanna have" feeling. Don't let Fanboys influence your decision too much. Because it doesn't matter what you buy, it will be A LOT of money. You can only justify that if you really want it. /edit: to answer the first Question, yes I run DCS with everything full open on 4K (not VR). But I limit it to 100 FPS because there is no need for me to go much higher (LG C2 maxes out on 120 Hz and is ideally driven a few FPS below that). It has also the benefit that the system doesn't need to ramp up all the fans. You can see all of my components in my Signature (almost: I've recently added a WD SN850X 2TB NVME exclusively for DCS, because it eats up Disc Space like there is no tomorrow).

A nice Review of an interesting product. I mean, a normal VKB or Virpil Base also isn't cheap. But this is FFB. Crazy. I have to fight the urge to buy it instantly.

All I have seen for now is that, compared to the 7800x3D it won't be that big improvement. And I didn't mention AMD in this case because the original poster asked for an Intel System (you might have noticed that I wrote "If you [...] want an Intel System"). In DCS AMD might really be the better bang for the buck for now, but there might be other reasons the OP want to go the Intel route. You can play DCS with both platforms and you won't see much difference if you don't know what is under the hood. It all comes down to your personal preference. No need to put one brand above the other.

Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh can have issues (really good chips probably never will have issues, but let us not dive too deep). These Issues lead to really fast aging. As you might know every newer silicon will age and at a unknown point (usually after years), they will need more Voltage or can only reach lower speeds at the same Voltage than before. On a number of Raptor Lakes, this can go really fast. If you do everything wrong, it may be a matter of months. If you just don't know what not to do and what to avoid, it can be a matter of a year or two. Due to the combination of a lot of cores and the higher boost clock speeds combined with higher needed Voltage to reach these, i9s are more likely to degrade than any other line, but it can happen to almost any.* Back to the Question: for DCS it shouldn't matter much if you choose an i7 or i9. But if you haven't bought anything yet and want to have an Intel System, just wait for Arrow Lake - just like @The_Nephilim said. Arrow Lake is right around the corner. Official Release should be the 24th of October 2024. *if aynone is asking what to look for: definitely keep the Voltages and Temperature down, set a Current Limit that is within spec and don't disable energy saving C-States and do not disable Core Parking in Windows - don't even set High Performance Energy State all the time. If you have an i9, I would also think about disabling the TVB Boost where the system wants to boost one or two cores to ~6 GHz. It might look a bit worse on synthetic Benchmarks, but it won't be noticable in real world performance.

Hätt man auch drauf kommen können. Danke! Und das macht dann echt kein Problem mit den ganzen Zusatzmodulen etc.? Danke nochmal, manchmal denkt man zu kompliziert.

Ich finde es nicht, oder es geht evtl nicht: kann man die vorhandene DCS Installation auf ein anderes Laufwerk verschieben so dass die Installation das "mitbekommt" und an der richtigen Stelle sucht? Idee dabei wäre ein Umzug, wie er bei fast allen großen Launchern angeboten wird - wenns nicht geht, ist es halt so. Danke vorab!
