I've built PC's for friends, I'm not in IT, I do it for no cost (except a coffee or 3), I have fun doing it The question is always: "What kind of support" I'm sure there is no 'on site' help, and anything that can not be fixed over the phone will be needed to be send/picked up and you'll be without a system for a few days

I'm just a little too young to have witnessed this release 52 years ago: Imagining further game evolution, I dare not even try

Really? Try playing Cyberpunk at full fidelity (IOW: no Downsampling or Compensating with DLSS or FSR) No, games will eventually run into an endzone where they reached the limit of realism (or at least a level where diminishing returns become too great) Yes, but VR is the endzone anyway

No, but there is an added level of complexity attached It wasn't too long ago that a number more options were added to DCS visual settings Or simply the old fashioned min/maxing game guys with hardware always play: try to get the most out of your system Don't tell me pancake users don't do this? Not yet indeed, I already stated current VR tech is too much to run at max with current hardware

I'm with @sleighzy and @Qcumber (apart from the QVFR stuff, don't have experience with that) Dialing eye candy to mostly medium and doubling that ram, probably will help out a lot I found MSAA to be a huge detriment for performance with my 3060ti and simply left AA off entirely, upping PD somewhat instead (to the point I'd get no black flickers when panning my view) Dunno if that GPU will do a good job with DLSS without ghosting, might wanna SS the resolution in OpenXR instead (since it doesn't tax the GPU with extra frame gen)

Agree with the latter, disagree with the former Yes, pancake mode will let you get equal performance at 1/3rd of the specs VR needs (and admittedly, VR can't reach max performance with DCS with current tech) But to claim you need an above average system with constant dicking around in the settings to enjoy decent VR performance is untrue my 13600k with 3060ti was as mid-tier as it could get, but did pretty well all said and done No, it didn't have the pancake fidelity, and 45-ish FPS in MP was about the average performance, but I most definitely wasn't playing Doom on a 386sx, or constantly diving into settings to squeeze out that 1 extra FPS An extremely expensive system would run VR well beyond "mediocre" performance without constant tweaking, dial in what works, set and forget, enjoy 75+ FPS and quality eye candy

I found 2 of your Belgian brethren trailing me in Kola, very low on fuel, they were gonna attempt an carrier landing 1 made it ...Damn, those things are tiny

@hannibal Small search gave me this: So it seems there is the possibility?

Sorry (apart from having no module with a door gun), I'm neither a Sony, nor Software guy, I wouldn't even know if a 'rumble' controller works on PC with DCS I'm more the type of guy to tiewrap/duktape a console controller to my old G940

I find this somewhat amusing since an Xbox controller already has a grip ergonomic resembling a .50, my idea would be to somehow mount such a controller on a simple joystick with twist axis for more real-life-like operation But I always admire creative jury-rigging

of course it's still processing, there is no stock, therefore, no dispatch, therefore, no confirmation of shipment How is a company able to change a status when it's waiting on the most important thing before being able to advance? You see it, but misunderstand it, the whole 'processing' is the entire procedure, the last part in this procedure is the shipping, this entire procedure is subject to availability, that's where the asterisk does its job Sidenote: The term "processing your order" doesn't even guarantee you're purchase will be honored, they can just as easily cancel it "We processed your order, but due to [insert reason here] we can not deliver your this product" is a statement not alien to the world of business What do you think happened to a rejected mortgage request? ...it was processed by the bank and denied

I found a little friend:

Did you happen to notice the Asterisk? Now let's look at the shipping information on the site Lo and behold: Did you happen to notice the Asterisk? Here's a tip for the future: Read the fine print! If not only to save yourself from disappointment, but also to prevent yourself from venting your grievance publicly and then being rightfully accused of unjustified entitlement and misplaced indignation Before you ask: Yes, I'm talking from experience, and many of us have been there ...live and learn This time you look foolish over a simple sale, no casualties but perhaps your pride, next time it might be something more impactful, like your job contract

How so? It's a brand new product, production is just ramping up, this is no difference with new release GPU's being hard to come by (and those are much larger companies)

I would think motorized faders could function as mechanical indicators, though the bulky motors (for something narrow like the fuel flow meter even small motors are pretty voluminous) would probably need some creative placement/design

This might give you some pointers:

My experience with Logitecs is: no, they aren't

How many PCIe power connectors does the card (or adapter cable) need

Don't forget to check if your PSU can supply the GPU (Not just wattage, but also connections)

At that res, a 2080/3060ti and up probably will get you there, depending on the level of eye candy you dial in

@Aronis Which grips do you have on the throttle?

Put MSI afterburner fans on auto?

Like the Moza, tempting But I'll wait out if it has full Virpil compatibility

You can't say with certainty that the diminishing of the playerbase is due to spotting Probably because you don't like to be challenged, which probably explains your following words: And again you're wrong, dying is very easy, It's actually so easy, anyone can do it ...how about you try again and come back with an actual rebuttal instead of failed sarcastic counter

Spotting shouldn't be easy in the first place, so forcing it to be bad for everyone would be the best natural choice
