If the CBC told me the sky was blue I would question it. These stats are probably not far off but the Communist Broadcasting Corporation is not one to trust.

I deleted my facebook account months ago. Should have done it earlier. I don't tweet, or instawhatever, or partake in any other kinds of social media with the exception of this and a couple other forums. I personally am not a fan of social media, it has shown its ugly head and pushed in the unintelligent into power. The sooner its gone the sooner mankind can move forward.

Good topic Neuse. AA refueling and formation flying ability went through the roof for me once I got the rift. Its absolutely unbelievable the difference it makes.

I'd suggest an i5 that you can overclock (The higher the Ghz the better). Maybe in the distant future an i7 will be needed if/when multicore support becomes reality but I suspect that to be a couple years out at least.

Its actually good timing. The new Volta GPU's should be out about the same time so if performance isn't what I like, the upgrade option will be there.

For those of us who supported the Kickstarter, we will have it by the end of Q2.

Side note: I have a 3 monitor setup and TrackIR. I haven't used it since I got the rift. A lot of what being said here about the issues are correct but for myself there is no going back. You can read the gauges (some better than others), there are small glitches and the like but I have never missed a day of flight with my buddies (very active group), nor have I had to do more than a reboot (maybe once or twice, restarting the software works most of the time and I've only done that a few times) to ever resolve an issue. In my opinion, you'd be nuts to not go VR at some point, but others mileage may vary.

WAIT FOR THE PIMAX!!!! I have the Rift, its awesome but the next gen is so close. Its a matter of months I'd say. If you can find a less expensive used one, sure why not but do keep in mind there will be better options very soon.

I believe its the "World" setting your looking for under the audio tab. Could be wrong but I think so. What I did was put them all to 0 and then reintroduce one at a time until I found it.

I'll see if I can get it to you tonight.

Our group uses a label mod for our VR and 4K fliers. Its a simple dot that turns on from 3-7NM in the range you should be able to see objects. It disappears outside of those ranges. Even at that it is very hard to keep track of a air threat within the 3NM range, but its as realistic as we can make it until ED brings back model scaling or some other feature to resolve the issue.

As a person who has been vocal about EDs lack of information I too very much appreciate these updates and hope they continue beyond the Hornet.

Cool stuff man. Gotta love the Fist

First class job mate.

I ran the Nvidia Surround setup and never had an issue after that. The res you need will show up in DCS once you've done it.

I would suggest we try to keep this on topic and as civil as possible.

I'm in Canada. I replied to you PM.

I'll assume your logic is correct. Given that I think it fair to say that a proper object sizing option becomes even more relevant if we are at all (as a community) interested in an even playing field.

I'll through my hat into this ring as well. Its something the future requires. 1080p is a thing of the past and VR next gen will still require it.

I have a set I'm not using. Send me a PM

A buddy of mine put 20k in on a crypto and came out smiling but he was scared to death for the entire time it was in there and said he'd never do it again. The closest to gambling he's ever done with investments. I get that there will be a time for it as you say David but for now I go with the cichlidfan approach. :)

CAE and Mastercard are both excellent stocks that pay dividends and constantly increase. I can't see anything more valuable than that when it comes to residual income.

Bitmaster I have my opinion, I've stated it and I have no desire to continue this discussion. There is no need to persue it further, we can agree to disagree.

Its very easy for some to mine but not all of us have a connection that is sufficient to make it work economically. For those of us in that position, mining is nothing short of destructive.

What is said above I agree with. You can but your load times are longer. Beyond that you won't notice a thing. Those are some loooooooooong load times though.
