Thanks for that information. It doesn't exist in any of the other warbirds, including the FW 190 D9. That's why I thought maybe something was wrong.

I understand it's impossible to give 100% accurate advice on things like this, because it depends on expectations, personal preferences and budgets. That's why places like this is good because you often get different options from people, I like that. I didn't mention any budget because it's not that important to me regarding these amounts. You can get a new 5700x3d from AliExpress for around 160$. Of course it would be better to upgrade to a later model CPU but then I also need a new mb, ram and probably a new gpu if I wanna take full advantage of the upgrades. Now we're talking about a lot more money and that's more than I want to spend right now. I just want to extend the life of my current rig and reduce some of the stuttering. I have no problem spending the amount for a new build when it's really necessary but as it is now I am still pretty happy. Btw, my mb is an Asus ROG Strix X570-f. I really appreciate your effort in helping out. Thanks a lot. Thanks, I appreciate your opinions. I gonna give it all a thought before I make any decisions.

Do you play in VR or monitor? Do you happen to know if the benefits of the x3d is the same when using VR? From my understanding, having low and stable frame times is the answer to getting a smooth gameplay. I only play singleplayer but the in game performance tab mostly show that I'm CPU bound.

I would love to have a 5090 but it will probably be more money than I want to spend. I am hoping for a 5080S. 5800x3d seams hard to find these days and most people agree that it isn't worth the extra cost compared to the 5700x3d. I could be wrong but that's my conclusion from what I have read.

Thanks , I really appreciate your help in this. I am not really looking for more FPS but a smoother game since I only play in VR and I thought the x3d models did a good job with that? And to clarify, because I might have misunderstood things. When I said I was hoping I could wait until AM6, to make a complete new build, I meant to wait until the CPU that is coming after the 9000 series. I probably mixed up Zen 6 and AM6. As you understand I am not an expert regarding computers, lol.

That's part of the problem, all these benchmarks don't say much since the difference between games are so big. I really wish they included DCS. Another thing is that I only play in VR and that is also different (I guess). I don't necessarily need more FPS but a smoother game, and if I understand it correctly, the x3d cpu:s is doing a good job with that.

Thanks for your advice, this is probably what I needed to hear. Since I am pretty happy with it, I should probably not do anything, until I get dissatisfied with its performance.

I am thinking if this upgrade will allow me to skip upgrading the CPU again until AM6? Or is the difference from the 5800x I already have so small that it won't make any difference? It's a rather small cost if it would allow me to skip AM5 and then do a complete new build when AM6 arrive. Depending on how Nvidia's 5000 series turn out, it's possible I might get one of those later next year. I play in VR, singleplayer only and I am actually pretty happy with my performance this far. Maybe this is just a stupid idea, what do you think?

Is it only me that have this bright red/orange edge around the canopy? It looks very unnatural to me but maybe that's correct?

Too bad it has fresnel instead of pancake lenses, otherwise it looks good. Will have to wait and see what the testers will say about it.

Should be interesting to see how this will perform.

Soo, what do you think about it?

I asked the same question on Reddit and got a reply from the guy who made this map. He assured that he will not "abandon" this map. I can't verify if it's true or not, but it was good enough for me. 35$ isn't a lot of money so I bought it.

The map is released as early access. When is it expected to be complete? I understand it will be hard to give an exact time, but are we talking about a few months or several years?

It sure looks like one, hahaha.
