    So, I got my WINWING HOTAS and I love it.
  2. rwbishUP
    @speed-of-heat I tried it, it actually does use resource from the cpu. It's a small amount, and I can't feel it in play. But, still I'm not willing to give up any headspace for flashy lights. I set up profiles for DCS & XP to just kill all aesthetic effects on launch. In other news, I now have to replace my HOTAS! I use an x56 HOTAS, that I've heavily modded. I went ahead and grabbed the; WINWING Orion2 StrikeAce EX Throttle Combo WINWING Orion2 ViperAce(EX) w/ shaker Joystick Combo I know there are mixed reviews and such, but the only HOTAS I have to compare it too, is my x56. And I know it's better than that, also had to factor in my budget and after doing comparisons, going over reviews and looking at my budget. I just went with all WinWing. plan to upgrade rudder pedals later in the year, Lord willing I'm still kickin. Thoughts?

    @speed-of-heat no kidding? I knew RGB effects had a little performance draw, but always thought it would be completely negligible! I'm not a big RGB fan, but I couldn't help myself. And I wanted a higher performance case fan setup. I will setup a lighting profile for DCS, probably just to go dark. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks to everyone who helped me in picking the right hardware for my PC build. Anyway, I finally got to run DCS on the new box. And I couldn't be happier. It ran so buttery smooth, even with max graphics settings and drawing multiple demanding modules. It's like playing a new sim compared to the perf of my last PC. And I haven't even moved DCS to the new Samsung 990 Evo m.2, it's still running from my budget m.2! Still waiting on 6 rgb case fans. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction and turning me on to AMDs 9800X3D, it was definitely worth the switch.

    So, thanks to every ones help & recommendations, this is what I ended up pulling the trigger on. Checked all dimensions to be sure I would have plenty of space for components and airflow. Had to substitute a somewhat different 5080 card and ended up going with a liquid cooler that had a fairly good customer rating, and a different M.2 module since some of the parts were on back order for unknown time. Wanted to get everything from one retailer for the discount and I'm happy with my past purchases from them. I just hope that I don't get the crazy FPS drop and stutter when I'm near explosions.

    I also have units missing textures after the latest update to USA 1.1.8 / Ukraine 1.1.2. The NASAMS 3 LAUNCHER AIM-9X-2 & NASAMS 3 LAUNCHER AMRAAM-ER.
  7. rwbishUP
    Yeah, @Philip Mongeon, it's a joke.
  8. rwbishUP
    @TimberWolf, I hear ya. After getting the advice in this topic about the AMD build. I've been looking at outside forums and reviews and it sounds like AMD is going strong right now. Even though I get sick at the idea of dropping so much money on a computer, my hands are tied I guess. It's unbelievable how pricey these components are, I was torn between going big on premium HOTAS and flight controls or building a new rig right now. I can rebuild and repair my flight controls if I need to for a while, so I decided to start with my PC.

    Addressing the replies above. Yeah, its is ridiculous how big the cards have gotten to. I was floored when I got my 3080 and saw how big it was. Seeing how I like fabricating and making stuff kinda unique. I'm now thinking about doing a custom case design, with A LOT of fresh airflow. Or, there's a good chance I'll go ahead and switch to a quality liquid cooler now. Yeah that's a good suggestion about the 4tb drive. I'm using a 2tb right now for, DCS. And, I'm down to 640gb of free space on it already. DCS needs to be it's own operating system, lol. I will definitely look into the 9100 Samsung drives, and if it's gonna give me a benefit, I'll make the change. I'll check on the lane sharing of my GPU and NVME, I would have never known that was possible. If that were to have been a performance issue for me, I would have never dreamed of figuring it out! I'm trying to get all the suggestions, because I want to do a reliable build that will give me good performance for a decent amount of time. Without having to be upgrading constantly or worrying about sinking money into a new build after just a year. My rig now, I built in the end of 2018 and I intentionally overbuilt, for the time. And, thankfully it has worked out pretty good. Of course I've upgraded my card to an rtx3080 and cpu to i9-9900, that I bought from friend upgrading their system. And, even with the older specs, it's still really solid and has good performance. But, it's definitely time to update.

    I got ya. I haven't picked out a case yet. I've only built 1 custom pc, before that I just used prefabbed store bought rigs. I've never been big on aesthetics, just airflow. I really like the big atx case I have now from NZXT. It gives me a lot of open air space and the way I have all my fans routing. It's really efficient when it comes to the airflow circuit. So I'll probably just use it until I get around to picking another one up for my current hardware. I don't overclock, so hopefully the heat won't get out of hand or I'll definitely switch to a water cooled solution. Or I could do an oil filled case like one that was featured on, Linus Tech Tips once.

    Well, @Dragon1-1, @TimberWolf, @speed-of-heat. This is what I just finished putting together on pc_parts_picker, I use it just to get a basis of my parts. I went with the heavier supply because of my, peripherals. But, I made the changes that you three recommended. And if ya'll think this would yield good performance. Good Lord willing, I'm gonna go ahead and start ordering next week and make me a heck of a comfortable place to sleep on the couch .
  12. rwbishUP
    Would you recommend liquid or air cooling for the 9800X3D CPU?
  13. rwbishUP
    Thanks again for the useful input @Dragon1-1, @TimberWolf, @speed-of-heat! I'm making the changes right now, and no. I don't care at all about having the rgb mess. I just selected that RAM because it was the first option, lol. I would assume not to have any fancy lighting in my case.
  14. rwbishUP
    Thanks for the input. I was reading posts from other ppl about the 9800X3D. I've had only two AMD based systems and had less than preferable experiences with them, but that was quite a while back. But, if the community is vouching for AMD and having good luck with them. I would be willing to make the switch. DCS is the primary reason for my PC. I do use it for my 3d design work and to play some other titles like, XP12, BeamNG, Ground Branch. I'll go do some comparison of Intel vs AMD architecture on those titles. If I see that AMD cpu gives good results. I'll definitely make the changes and go with it!
  15. rwbishUP
    So I'm hopefully getting ready to build a new pc. I'm not trying to break the bank or build a super computer. I just want something that will let me play DCS fairly smoothly, for a little while without having to low ball all of the graphics settings. Could someone with pc hardware knowledge take a look at the components I picked out for my build? And, give input on whether or not, I would get pretty reasonable performance in, DCS? Or on what you would suggest changing? I budgeted myself on between $3-$4k, so a 5090 is not in my wheelhouse. This build puts me around $3,400 before I start price comparing and deal shopping. Thanks

    No new airfields?

    I love the F-4, it's an incredible module. But, seeing as I fly 100% solo, it sits in the hangar 99.9% of the time. I really hope it's implemented in the near future, but so far, ONSG.
  18. rwbishUP
    @gulredrel I definitely wouldn't count on it, unless they now try to sell them to us as DLC. Thank goodness we have one or two options brought to us by the great mod packs from, @currenthill.
  19. rwbishUP
    No fix this week neither, I assume?
  20. rwbishUP
    I know, that's what I currently do. But, it would be uber nice to not have to go out, open your kneeboard page template in PS or something, then unzip the mission, insert it, repack the .miz. And if there's something you forgot, want to add or change. You have to do it all again. Opposed to just backing into the ME and throwing it in there real quick.
  21. rwbishUP
    A kneeboard tool in ME or option to push mission info from briefing panel to kneeboard page. Option to push map drawings to kneeboard maps, for marking tgt areas in ME, pushing them to kneeboard maps. Reducing the need to go to F10 map (unrealistic) or having to build steer points in ME. Taking the fun out of building your own flight route to the tgt area from inside the cockpit. Oooooo, or even a simulated digital/tablet kneeboard for the modern airframes!

    Anyone else missing textures for the Civil Aircraft Mod? The majority of my liveries have the missing texture problem again.
  23. rwbishUP
    Basically the only way they're not a hindrance, is if the carrier deck is a baron wasteland.
  24. rwbishUP
    Yeah, I tried that setup and the launchers will come to life and track the target for about 180 deg, then just returns to parked position.
