hi,
first off, as of yet i am very unexperienced with flight simulators. the last time i played one was on the amiga 500 :P - After watching some videos i became very interested in the dcs simulator.
so here are my questions:
1) Regarding the printed manual available soon:
a) Will it be available as localized version in german, or only in english ?
b) Will it be purchaseable through retailers like amazon ?
2) Regarding Devices:
a) Does the TrackIR System come with a Cap to mount the thingy on or do i have to provide my own cap ? If I have to provide my own, does it fit on all caps ? Is the length of the "front-thingy" on all caps the same ?
b) When i purchase some combo like the "Saitek X52 Pro Flight System", will it work out of the box and all buttons be automaticly assigned, or do i have to assign everything on my own ? are there downloadble profiles or something for that ?
3) Regarding System Specs:
a) Through reading this forums i got the feeling, that my CPU might not be able to handle this simulation very well. I got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ which clocks at about 2.2Ghz per core. What CPU could i upgrade to, to get a significantly better performance without having to change my motherboard ? I believe the socket is AM2 but i am not entirly sure.
b) I have an external audio device aswell as my mouse and my keyboard which all connect through usb. now adding the trackIR and the Saitek stuff, that would add anohter 2 usb connections. Maybe even another one if i would buy pedals aswell. what kind of power supply is recommended for so many usb connections, and are there other factors i need to consider with so many usb devices going on ?
Thanks for your answers, i appreciate them :P
