I can chime in on this. I too started with 1080ti on 4k ;). Then a 6800. Then a 6900 (= very similar to 7800xt) and now a 7900xt. In marianas freeflight f16 instant action scenario with everything turned to high the 6900xt can keep about 61-90fps depending on which area of the map u are. The first bit over the crowded airport is the worst bit. So the 7800xt will be able to do it, since its a little better then 6900xt. Syria is always above 70 fps. When FSR is turned to quality/0.9 u will see 100fps+ If the price is right I would go for 7900XT. U can turn everything up and not worry, this gpu is a powerhouse. Never below 80 on Marianas. There is no reason to not go with AMD atm unless u are a VR player. Then go with Nvidia. But im not sure on how VR goes nowadays in AMD.

I didnt do my research on 13th gen. It seems the 13600k beats the 12700k everywhere, so this is indeed the better option and a bit cheaper too atm. The 13700k will cost me too much with total cost combined and the power draw seems quite toasty Seeing the other answers there isnt much between them. I will go with 13600k since its quite abit better then 5800x3d outside of the games. Thanks all!

I can get both combo's of cpu and mobo for the same price (single digit difference). I already have ddr 32gb 3200 and a Rx6800. Whats best to buy for purely DCS?

How is this stick for helicopter coming from a 10cm extended warthog? The gimbal seems much nicer but is it enough to compensate for lack of the extension? thanks

Thats what im using also with the grey trim hat on the warthog. Thought it might be something like this already, cause when i try my best to activate it only for a split second, sometimes the trim is alright. Is there a fix for it beside rebinding to maybe another hat? And good to hear about the Hornet!

Hey guys Recently got back into DCS with F16. Looking to buy F18 with the sale now. I do have however one question about how the F18 trim works. With the f16 its near impossible to trim the plane wings level (left-right) while others like the Mirage trim effortlesly for level flight. Does the Hornet also suffer from this? cause it really kills any enjoyment with the 16 for me getting that micro roll going on every time and never be level.

Im having the same problem but its during roll trimming with say only a TGP attached. I can never get the roll trim level. Its just too sensitive. My controllers are not the issue (triple checked) and its not an issue in other airplanes too. My f16 is always rolling slightly left or right, even after trying to correct it with manual trim. Except in pure clean config this seems always present.

I havent had to use much Pitch trim, but for me the roll trim is indeed very (too) sensitive, its almost impossible to get the plane trimmed level with say a TGP attached becasue of the sensitivity. always just a bit to little or to much.. never just level. Its not my controller causing the roll.

I also have this mini roll issue, it is super hard to get the plane trimmed straight with ordnance. Always drifting a little bit.

MHm that doesnt seem to bad actually. Doubting even more now :huh:

Should I get this or the Virpil mounts? I need a portable solution for now, and while this seems better (more customise options, mouse closer by) I Think this is really heavy with the 3 arm? Can anyone give an indication on weight of the thing? I also use my pc for mouse and keyboard games and like to be able to quickly swap my stuff from flight to race to shooter etc. This might be a bit to cumbersome when fully installed? please advice.

I would just go with VKB. Its bit more expensive, but I got my gladiator pro yesterday and its is EXCEPTIONAL.

simple question: I just bought a gladiator pro 2nd hand, I got all the cams and springs etc with it, but the guy put in a wrong size allen/hex key. I just moved out to my own place and dont have any tools here. Can anyone tell me the size I need before I go out and buy the wrong one :D ? (not US sizes please, but EU)

Actually the TM TWCS Throttle is already like f18 throttle, it just missed one button i believe, shape and buttons placement is similar to f18 irl. Maybe they'll release something with the stick after all, I mean the have the basic shape molds in factory already, albeit for plastic.

Yea, I dont think warthog is for me. I already found my t1600 too heavy, and have modded old x45 too for lighter throw. The reason I want to part with t1600 is just, I need more buttons/hats on stick, modifiers just arent ideal, and I want to dive in the a10 proper. (and f18 soon) As far as Ive read the CH is quite light of a stick? I think it would be more suitable to me. Old tech, or pot meters dont really matter to me, aslong as it flies good (i.e. my 10 year old g25 wheel still working nice with the pots ;) ) The only question I still have is with the system of the 2 seperate axis CH uses, does it interfere with small Helo corrections around center of Joystick? I would buy 2nd hand, but, its impossible to find in Netherlands used. Amazon UK is selling used for 112 pounds (120 euros), quite steep still imo.
