Blacley I just caught the monitor thing. Thanks man. I ordered the Obutto r3volution and the three monitor extensions.

Thanks for the hard data Guppy. Are you using Helios for your touch screen? Can you pick what you want to pipe to the touch monitor or is it a package deal? Clay I did think of VR but from what I’ve read the resolution just isn’t there yet. Using a mouse in VR is a non starter for me I would need clickable controls with my fingers in VR. But to answer your question I initially was pretty sure I was going to go with the Vive pro. I assumed they had the button switch thing figured out. I wanna go with trackIR, 3 decent monitors with as many realistic controls as I can muster. I have no problem building button boxes and probably will. Also 60 FPS is what I want to get. My understanding is that in windowed mode SLI does nothing for you. Any experience with that Guppy since your running in beast mode?

Good day all. The bug has bit me hard. I am planning my build and have parts on order to build both the PC and the pit i'm going to fly DCS in. Currently the A-10C and the F/A-18C are the only modules i'm interested in. I want to run three 27 inch-30 inch 2k monitors for the main display, with a small touch screen below and three 8 inch 4:3 for thrustmaster Cougar MFD's in (generally) an F18 layout. I'm ok using a mouse with track IR to manipulate most controls but want the DDI's/MFCD's physical and If I had my way would want the F18 UFC physical. Think Buddy-Fox.com's A-10C UFC. Since this isnt around I guess I will try and emulate the UFC for the F 18 on a touch display. My question is can you cherry pick from helios? Can I just export what I want and map it to the touch screen monitor like the IEFI and UFC? I also was investigating SoftTH and using track IR to manipulate everything but I don't know how turning knobs and twisting E-Brake/Wings etc would work? Any guidance general or specific would be greatly appreciated. Also the more I research SLI and DCS the more my head hurts. Windowed vs fullscreen, nvidia surround.....I need real world experience. The goal obvuisly is 60 FPS stable. Is it worth shelling out the bucks for another 1080 Ti for all the secondary stuff or will one 1080 Ti handle the three 2k monitors and a touch screen and a smaller much less expensive card (Not in SLI obviously) can handle the DDI/MFCD's? Thank you for tolerating a DCS Newbie. AS for set up, config files, LUA, exporting. I will be able to figure it out, I simply am looking for the most effective solution which is the most authentic sim I can have without building a full pit. Thanks.
