  1. Do a 500GB Samsung 870 EVO in the case for your OS, Joystick programs, VR/Tracker's, etc.... and a 2TB Samsung 970 PRO NVMe M.2 on the Mobo for your games. Keep them separate, if the OS craps your games are safe, along with backups... I have two 1TB NVMe M.2's on the Mobo, with the 500GB in the case. It's always been a rule of thumb for me never to put all my eggs in one basket............. or park all your planes on the ramp wing tip to wing tip....... When I build a new computer my storage drives all migrate to the new machine, saves money and time in the long run. Cheers
  2. Good thing you didn't buy a Warthog........ oh man.....
  3. The buttons on the real UFC are flimsy too... so it must be close to realistic, they are cheap plastic with clear plastic plungers that go thru a hole and push these really cheap pushbuttons. The plungers break all the time and it makes it feel terrible when pushing them. Not to mention it no longer works as advertised. So when I hear I wish it was Military grade... well you really don't want that either.......
  4. PM him....... it's faster
  5. @Administrators I believe it's been over a year since I put the 352nd tag on my name. I was told the rule is one year. The set up for my name doesn't have the "change" behind it like email or password does. I'd like to change it ASAP. Not going to use tags any longer of any kind. Thanks Hoss
  6. AG-51 (AirGroup) has been around since the beginning of Pacific Fighters in IL2, they did VF-51 in F6Fs off the USS San Jacinto, VF-51 in F9F's off the Essex... now in DCS they do VF-51 in F-14s. Since they fly on their server, I don't imagine they will have much interaction with your group. You could get in touch with AG-51 Razor and have a conversation with him about your overlap of units. Cheers..... Hoss AT1(AW/SW) USN ret.
  7. F/A-18 stick.... don't have that one.
  8. 3080ti, windows 10 latest drivers for nvidia. TIR works like it always has.
  9. P-38 Lightning P-39/P-400 P-40 F6F HELLCAT F4F Wildcat Dauntless SBD TBF Avenger SB2C F7F Tigercat Seafires Sea Fury A6M & Float version Ki-84 Ki-61 Betty Okinawa Solomons CVE/CVL IJN Carrier/Escorts JMTCW!!
  10. M.2 SSD's on the motherboard go straight to the mobo chip. SATA SSDs have a bit longer trip to the mobo chip. I've got four storage devices in my current build, two 1TB M.2s, DCS, DCS OB, one one, IL2, IL2 BETA on the other. 500GB SSD with the OS & 350GB HDD Dump Truck. Whenever I build a new computer I always move over my Storage drives.
  11. Duder, Iwo Jima lasted a week, with the USN and USMC, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall if there where any big Naval, or air engagements at Iwo?... Okinawa was over 80 days long with a running battle at sea and in the air too. The USN, USMC, USA are the main US brances, the RN had five Carriers, two BB's, seven Light Cruisers, fourteen Destroyers. Corsairs, Hellcats, Avengers, Helldivers, and the RN A/C on their carriers. Okinawa ran from April 1st, to June 21st, and we get to sink the Yamato. The engagements that comprise the Battle of the Philippines Sea are of great interest too. Three running battles, Battle of the Philippines Sea, (June 19/20) Battle of Leyte Gulf, and it's Battle of Suragao Straights, San Bernardino Straights, Oct. 24, 25, 1944, and we get to sink the Musashi, and survive incessant Kamikaze attacks. And there is land mass in the P.I. where the IJA medium bombers can launch from, or for us to attack. New Guinea, Guadalcanal... all good for early plane sets.
  12. I don't fly it any more, usually I get my butt shot out of the sky from very highly accurate AAA and flak, and if I survive that. I blow myself up because there is no bomb delay fusing.
  13. Years ago when they had the Kickstart for getting the WWII ball rolling for the P-47, Spit, 109, 190, 262..etc... the asset pack was part of that kickstart. No Swallow yet though. With the tactical nature of the sims flyable WWII and later planes, (jets) getting one with more than two crew members might be slim. I would love to see the A-20G, and Beaufighter. IMHO, the P-38 is a glaring omission in the Allied line up, the Typhoon and Tempest as well. Assets should come with the map, if it's a Pacific Map, and the IJN, IJA are on the Island, most weapon systems they used to defend it should be in the package. At this rate most of the community will be nickled and dimed to death or into the poor house.
  14. Sounds like the temperature guage that works less than half the time right after start up.
  15. Just plain old flaps up/neutral/down is too much to else expect!
  16. I think they want us to use "Toggle" on a button, and "on/off" on a switch. I agree, its good to have the option. I tend to use Toggle only on switches that have more than just On/Off functions. Like fuel switches.... Left wing, right wing, fuselage, combat tanks....... I like to use a three position switch for these toggles. I'll Sequence the Toggle "Forward" to chose my function, then use Toggle function rearward to adjust my initial selection.
  17. It does it automatically when you choose either Game/Sim setup for your bird of choice.
  18. Easy to spoof with Scooby snacks....
  19. LOL, not in the real world... good to know though..... what happened to the oil in the transmitter anyway?
  20. I personally would not want the Delta Sim TDC slew stick to be any longer than it already is. It works great out of the bag....... Hoss
