  1. Did I say high end users? Did I say power users? The number of people that overclock their hardware is 1% or less.
  2. 99% of computer hardware consumers will not be overclocking anything. It is up to the software vendors to ensure that their products are playable with out-of-the-box hardware.
  3. It all comes down to how well the AI is programmed. Unfortunately, no matter how well it is programmed, it will eventually become easy to beat because it will respond the same way to the same situation. A human opponent is inherently unpredictable (most of the time) which makes a huge difference.
  4. Indeed. Sometimes Apple opens the door and then gets run over as everyone follows them through. This is why I sold my Apple stock, about 4 years ago, and bought Amazon and FB with the proceeds.
  5. Welcome Darryl. I remember my first flight and I was stunned. If you try it in VR you will be amazed.
  6. There were boobs? All I saw was Nandos and food. ;) At my age food is more significant than the other stuff (that stuff is already covered since Beagles are chick magnets :) ), especially if I don't have to cook it.
  7. Yep. Apple sells good hardware but you need to have other Apple products to make good use of it. Wouldn't touch it unless they gave me one for free.
  8. Chips??? Nandos has excellent rice (which is a healthier carb) and my meals never include a bun (two leg/thighs). :) EDIT: Which reminds me that it has been over a month since I have been there.
  9. It is interesting since previous statements from ED indicated that FC level aircraft were not in the plan, even though they make so much sense from a business standpoint.
  10. LM is doing well and will continue to do so. The dip in their stock price is equal, or less than equal, to what the market is doing in general. No worries here.
  11. Get an SSD as the first upgrade. I suspect that another 8GB of RAM would be good too but I would spend money on the SSD first. SSD prices are not as crazy as RAM at the moment so...
  12. If ED gets the memory usage under control then 32GB should not be necessary. However, my next sim rig build will be 64GB since I believe in lots of headroom and future-proofing.
  13. Very cool and thanks Nick.
  14. Sleep is a poorly implemented function. I disable all sleep and hibernate options. If you want it to be off there is a shutdown process for that (which I only use when on vacation or cleaning the inside of the box). I have two desktops, a laptop, a Surface Pro4 and two Synology NAS boxes and they all run nearly 24/7. When idle the power draw is insignificant.
  15. No way to tell since we don't have a timeline for either.
  16. You don't, since it has not been released yet. That is why it is called a pre-purchase.
  17. Delete the Options.lua in your Saved Games\DCS folder. Clean and repair do not touch the Saved Games folder.
  18. Let them get track recording to work reliably first.
  19. Your best bet is to open a support ticket. There is not a current system for doing it on your own.
  20. Probably not at all since they don't really simulate anything in a realistic manner.
  21. It is funny but I have a 4 foot monitor in my den. Why would I care about the size of my phone?
  22. Friday's entertainment Child of the '70s here. Funk was king.
  23. Last I checked, you still have to pay those people. The other problem is skill level. If you want high quality then you need people with skills that the average 'intern' is not going to have.
  24. How would you make that work with the A-10C, for example? You have the option of Left and Right brake axis or a single brake keyboard command (not an axis). If there was an axis bind for both brakes together, I would agree with your idea, but there is not.
