Plugging for EZDIY-FAB fans. I bought a whole bunch of them and have been super pleased with them. Good price (about $10 apiece) and I like the design.

What happened to that thread? It's gone now? -edit Nvm, think I found it.

Yeah, tbh, let's side everything else aside and just take it at face value based on the overall condition of the fans described here... This person saw this themselves and just... ignored it until complete failure? This isn't a "fan issue", even if it started as one.

This completely disregards common sense and general thermal behaviors. Nope, you've pretty well eclipsed that. That's what really inexperienced builders with really poorly designed cases are doing trying to cheap out. A properly designed case works by channeling the cool airflow across key components and out an exhaust. Just like countless other machines in use all across society. High volume fans will be 30-40 cubic feet per minute. Assuming an average of four or five fans, you'll be flowing literally all the air in the room through that case every few minutes, which is going to be way more heat exchange than your ''leave the side off and hope for the best'' approach. It's really easy to test. Do a benchmark stress test or something, note your highest temperatures and overall average, then put your case together in even a semi-intelligent arrangement (intake at front exhaust at back/top) and it is guaranteed to be considerably lower across the board unless you do something really backasswards. What you're doing also will not work if there are high ambient temperatures, because even the mediocre dissipation you're getting will be reduced. Protip : If literally everyone does things a certain way, there's *probably* a reason that needs to be carefully considered. You didn't suddenly clue into some new concept nobody ever thought of before @@

Yeah, I'm not one to rag them, but this clearly created unholy hell for a lot of people and was not officially notated until less than twenty minutes ago with a sticky finally... nearly a full day after release. Seriously, nobody thought a fundamental change like this needed to be communicated ahead of time? I wonder if we'll discover MT and Vulkan suddenly appear and people's rigs inexplicably stop functioning @@ It's just dumb.

That's going to be different with each system, though, and takes ''fine tuning'' to the next level.

Oi. Nobody knew this was coming? Might should've mentioned it, along with some instructions or something @@ ED's foot has so many holes they're starting to look like grid fins

Hewlett Packard bollox, that's what. I'm pretty sure we bought a dead end product =D My Rift S worked great, just low res, flew a lot. Bought this PoS and it's been a nuisance ever since.

If you poke around, you'll find a lot of people complaining about those cables (including me, I'm on my third, and I have seen at least another half dozen since then complaining about the same stuff). They are terrible. Expect to have to replace them semi-frequently. You can reduce this as others have suggested by running it in a way as to avoid stressing the cable at any one particular point. I looped it on top of my head basically, so it has a bit of extra slack, and if ''bottomed out'' through normal movement does not become excessively pinched or unplugged. But they do suck, and these are ''mitigation steps'' rather than cures.

I wanted to dump my reverb anyway, just trying to settle on which one to settle on as my final choice, and for the DLSS, MT, VLK updates to drop. No point in spending on a new headset until stuff works better.

Cause he made it up five seconds ago based on the reports of an extensive sample of the community consisting of him/herself and one or two friends from WWII sims. That aside, wasn't there somebody making a Hawker Hunter around here somewhere? I know there's a couple of early planes (MiG-17, G91, F-100) in the works, I thought the Hunter was, too, but I don't remember who had it.

You're on an entire forum that revolves around this sort of thing. There's a lot more than 12 pages of drivel to be found

This has Supreme Leader Admiral General Aladeen vibes to it, but I'll allow it.

Maybe, but cleaning the maple syrup off the stick is such a pain.

Which almost nobody does right either *glares at War Thunder*

You should try Carnivores. Nothing like getting eviscerated by a velociraptor while you're hunting

No sign in required for me. Bear in mind that figure is not for the jets, it's for EVERYTHING including training, maintenance, parts, etc, over probably a decade+ also minus the outgoing CF-18s and their associated expenses plus they'll probably end up sold to 3rd parties that don't mind second hand fighter jets (likely with maintenance and training expenses tacked on, etc)

I watched some stuff about this, being curious before about Taiwan's general readiness. I got the impression they don't REALLY expect a war and aren't as prepared as initially it seems (lots of understrength units, paper armies, and poorly trained militia with questionable organisation). On the flipside, even if that's all true, amphibious invasions, even if the opposition is of erratic quality, are extremely difficult and obvious preparations would begin well before it actually happened, giving Taiwan plenty of time to prepare and for allies to shuttle into the area. Like, the only way it could feasibly happen is if it could be kicked off on the sly, which is not really possible, so the most likely ''war scenario'' is that it simply never happens. They would probably love to wrap up that loose end by force, but it's just not an option. Only way they get it back is by installing puppet governments and gradually eating away at their independent cultural identity. Of course, that all assumes everyone making decisions hasn't drank their own propaganda to the point they expect three days to a parade in Taipei or some such.

I was under the impression it's not getting a WSO. At least, not at first, because you can do everything from the pilot seat anyway.

All that aside, it's more likely he'll just... do something else. World's not gonna end for him (or us) over an overclocking utility. I'd hazard it probably wasn't his only source of income.

It isn't though, that's the point. Heavily zoomed in is what is approximately closest to what you would really see. You refusing to use it is not even being a 'purist' it's just shooting yourself in the foot, or more to the point, wearing blinders. Zoomed in IS the ''realistic'' FoV. This isn't like a shooter where one guy has a scope and the other doesn't. This is both people have scopes and one of them insists on hipfiring because he thinks somehow it doesn't make him an idiot.

I always thought it was developed BY MSI. Interesting. Sounds like they're intending to develop it on their own now, though. That's not how sanctions work. Kind of the point. I would suppose exactly zero countries are lining up to give away visas to Russians these days. Flights are not the hard part.

Your RL FoV is ballpark of 180'. Ingame with VR is usually around 90'. 2d varies depending on size of TV and personal preference, but it's typically 3+ feet away and definitely always wrong. So yes. Your perception of the environment and motion is very different from real life, because it is, in fact, completely different.

Choosing your case is the #1 most important part, tbh. They vary a lot on the inside and if they're laid out wrong, or it's too small, it makes the whole process unnecessarily painful. If everything's good, it should only take an hour or two to build one. If everything's not so good....well, I spent 14 hours building this pos I have now because I got a very flashy but poorly designed case and was ready to throw it off the balcony by the time I finally finished. I grew up dealing with manually assigned COM ports, IRQ, and what have you. That was challenging, as were the cases. These days everything is plug and play. Modern windows will usually install your drivers for you if you want it to, if not you just hit the manufacturers website for your main components find your devices and roll on. Barring the occasional fluke of two devices not coexisting happily (which is rare now due to the unified standards we didn't have 20+ years ago) it should go smoothly. I'm from the school of thought ''turn the case on its side and sit on it to smush the cables down, you can't see that stuff anyway''. Although I did overdo it a time or two and the side panel was bowing out so bad I had to rearrange it anyway. Maps make up the overwhelming majority of the game's size. The base game is only 50-60GB I think, if that. Each of those maps adds about 50GB, depending. Nevada is also 60-65 if I remember.

So? Some people are quadrapalegic and can't operate a mouse and keyboard. What of it? Every motherboard has USB slots, and anything made in the last 10-15 years has at least 3.0, anything in the last 5 years is likely to have at least one 3.1, there's also other options as far as that goes. Point is you don't even have to take the panel off your case to expand capacity. I don't really get this ''PLEASE CONSIDER THE UNICORN EXCEPTION!!!'' There are literally a multitude of easy solutions. People choosing not avail themselves of any of them is just... not my problem. As for the specifics of downloads themselves, allowing for ''extras'' like liveries to be selectable is not a bad idea in and of itself, but a lot of this is self inflicted. If you need more space buy a drive or uninstall some other stuff. All there is to it, and all this wailing and gnashing of teeth and ''consider the edge cases'' is silly. If this guy's DCS install was 1/4 its current size, and he was able to install another 5-6 games... he is then in exactly the same situation again: uninstall some stuff or get another drive. There is nothing different now, from 30 years ago when dealing with storage capacity.
