Curious to how these will be priced and feel compared to the MFG Crosswinds.

BK Gamer Pro Hapticonnect vs. Simshaker for Aviators
kestrel79 replied to Sn8ke's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I don't but I'm curious how Buttkicker's own software compares. I've only used Simshakers Wings with IL2 and love it. -
I just pulled the trigger on a Sim Motion 160mm aluminum profile rig this past Black Friday (great deal!), and I'm looking for a solution to center mount my VKB Fat Black Mamba III joystick w/ S neck extension under the seat, or clamped in front. What do you guys recommend? I found this on the Monstertech website, I think it's designed for their own rig but was wondering if it would work with any aluminum profile rig under the seat? https://www.monstertechusa.com/product/mts-center-joystick/ Here's the rig I got: https://us.sim-motion.com/products/sim-motion-40x160-aluminum-extrusion-chassis-with-seat I'm so excited to replace my aging but trusty Obutto Ozone rig from 2008. Think it will be my 2nd rig for my kids someday when they get older and Dad needs a wingman or gunner.

I have an Obutto Ozone, so a clamp mount would work best for me. I've done RAM mounts in the past. Is this thing plug and play USB for every button and lever? Or do I need software to make it work in IL2- Great Battles out of the box? Again not familiar with Winwing.
-
Thanks Phantom, Is the PTO easy to mount? I have an Obutto Ozone cockpit, I have some button boxes mounted with RAM mounts probably would have to do something similar.
-
This thing looks awesome. If I don't have any other Winwing stuff, would you guys still recommend using this? Or is this thing best hooked up into their entire ecosystem? It's just usb by itself right? I wonder how or where to mount it...
-
How does it compare to the Warthog Throttle? This is what I currently have, and this looks like it will be my next upgrade. Do you think it would fair well with WW2 airplanes?

High end hotas - which one and why?
kestrel79 replied to BaronVonVaderham's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I won fantasy football at work in 2017, and still using my VKB Fat Black Mamba III and Warthog Throttle from those winnings to this day. Very reliable for me. Next I have to figure how to mount my stick to the floor so I can use the extension I bought years ago...no place to do that on my old Obutto Ozone. -
Is any multi-thread stuff in the stable build yet?

Used 3090 or new 4070/4070TI?
kestrel79 replied to kestrel79's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
This is sad, still haven't had time really to fire it up yet on my new computer. -
Used 3090 or new 4070/4070TI?
kestrel79 replied to kestrel79's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I wanted the 3090, I really did. But the used ones by me just looked a little shady. It was worth a couple bucks more to get something brand new with a warranty that runs games about the same performance on less power that will last awhile. Is frame generation DLSS 3? I was hoping more games would take advantage of that that I play in the sim world... -

This is what I decided to go with that fit in my budget. Thanks for the help! Ok new PC is built! Haven't had time yet to hook up my Oculus Rift S and try out IL2 in VR, that's still coming. Looking forward to turning more graphics on in VR for IL2, DCS, MSFS2020, iRacing. Intel i5 13600 cpu Noctua nh-d15s cpu cooler Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite AX motherboard 2 x 32GB GSkill Ripjaws RAM Gigabyte 4070ti graphics card Samsung 980 Pro 2TB ssd Corsair 850w psu Fractal Define 7 case Windows 11 First time using Windows 11...ick. Tried to make it look like W10 as much as I could. But it runs pretty snappy. Might have to look up some tweak guides. -
Dont get the Next Level Racing Flight Pro Set
kestrel79 replied to Sorata's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I got the FGT-Lite off Amazon and it came packaged great, not like this. That's too bad. -
Good to see some fellow Rift S users here. I'm still a noob to DCS VR, but after I built my new PC (parts coming today!) I plan on getting into DCS VR a little more.

I need a suggestion for sim rig monitor
kestrel79 replied to Sorata's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I'm slowly waiting (for over 10 years) for all 3 of my 27" 1080p monitors from the triple screen setup to die so I can upgrade to one big screen. What's the max monitor size that can be mounted on an Obutto Ozone cockpit? I might finally upgrade to a new 80/20 cockpit just to get a larger screen in there. But I still have 2 monitors left from my original 3. I sim in VR so the blown screen isn't needed now really. -

kestrel79 replied to kestrel79's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Luc great answer, thanks for taking the time to write that. Unfortunately I went with the new 4070ti in hopes our favorite sims would adapt dlss 3, get something new under warranty and not from some kid that did who knows what to it. But I may upgrade down the road as Mightymoo did and get something faster with more ram once I have a little more cash. -

Hey thanks! I forgot DLSS3 is only supported in the 4000 line of cards, right? More games are moving to that correct? MSFS2020 already has it I believe. Hmm leaning that way right now. 12GB of VRAM is twice as much as I have right now...2060 6GB. -
There's a couple people selling used 3090s locally, would you guys take a 3090 over a new 4070 or 4070TI? I play MSFS2020, DCS, IL2, iRacing in VR. Is the 24GB of ram put to good use? I'm scared of buying used, leaning towards new.
-
Agreed VR is a complete game changer. Had my first experience last week.
-
Great board I have the non wifi one!

rrohde, Curious how you mounted your Fat Black Mamba III stick with the extension lower on your Obutto Ozone cockpit chair? I have the same stick and Obutto and am looking to do something similar. How'd you mount it lower like that in front? I have the center joystick Obutto mount but it comes up higher than the seat and with the extension I just added is too high. Thanks! -Matt

I am not. Has always been at stock speeds, but I think I will try to overclock for the first time this fall, as well as getting a SSD and maybe a new video card. Have been thinking about watercooling in order to overclock, but I'd need a larger case to mount the radiator.

Thanks that's what I thought, wasn't sure. I'll keep it on.
