That's great to hear. Hope it turns out well.

Absolutely awesome, thank you.

Absolutely awesome. I have been pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of the Bambulab X1C that recently took it's residency inside my home. So I figured it would be worth a try. I have had a very solid NO from Thrustmaster in the past about buying replacement parts so figured it wasn't worth it. (for the same stick actually, needed to replace the cable that runs trough the gimball to the connection of the stick.) And thanks for bringing the taper to my attention, mine is so badly cracked they are impossible to measure. Edit, Free CAD cannot open SLDPRT files. You have it available in any other format?

Hello everyone, On the inside of the hotas warthog base there is an big black ring that carries the big spring. Mine is cracked in like 10 different locations and i need an replacement. So far i have been able to re-design the part in FreeCAD for 3d printing, but i can't take accurate measurements because of the cracks. Would anyone happen to be able to get some accurate measurements for me? (in mm very please.) nullnull

Hello Hammer1-1 If you want I can give it a try. Though i would suggest adding a total of 8 reinforcements, see picture. I have very limited experience printing functional parts and no idea of the forces the collective is going to exert. nullPostage from The Netherlands seems to be possible as a letterbox package for around 15$ Printing materials I'm guesstimating at 10$ Instead of the printed reinforcements you could consider reinforcing it using a metal 90 degree profile that is commonly found in hardware stores.

Can you please remind me what LOD is again? Been away for to long. (render distance of objects and buildings i believe?) As for the video card, the 2080 is still around 200 euro's more expensive. Guess i could drop the windows 10 and keep using my windows 8 license? downside is that i can't run both systems at the same time then to copy over some stuff. (unless i unplug the old one from the good old internet?) BitMaster, i noticed you use an SSD as pagefile in your signature. Curious what the benefits of this are? Thank's for the help so far guys.

Hi everyone, Been looking to build a new system for a while now. Problem is i got a bit out of touch whit the latest tech, is the below setup sensible for playing DCS World at 4k and (near) constant 60 fps? Don't mind if i can't run absolute max settings. PS, also do some video editing/rendering on occasion nothing fancy.

Nice System, pretty similar to what i have in mind. What resolution are you running? Curious to see how much headroom the CPU has when running on 4k resolution. (if any)

Thanks for the help and advice guys. Gonna be a tough choice on what to get. As far as the clock, it's still spot on after letting the computer on overnight running Folding @ Home.

Interesting BitMaster, what's your reason to go for Threadripper now instead of (Ryzen 7) / i7 7700k?

Ok, there all around the 1 euro range here hence the question. Anyway took the old one out ( el cheapo) and measured 3.270 V Took a new one, a el cheapo i still had lying around and measured 3.372 V Starting to think I'm having a whole different issue, but can cause a CMOS clock to reset to random times other then a battery?

No idea where to find a reputable dealer concerning batteries. But I'd still have some lying around, on a cardboard as you set. Never hurts to try i guess, Ill post the results here when done. ***edit*** Any idea of a decent brand? One's i have here are indeed el cheapo ones. however i struggle to find batteries more expensive then 1 euro.

Changed the CMOS like 5 times. first time it helped for about 2 or 3 months. Last time it didn't help at all. Probably to do whit the fact i plugged in the power button lead wrongly and tried to boot the computer, shorting something on the mobo. Thanks for the help guys, is there any Intel/AMD CPU much better at this point for DCS then the other at a similar price point? And how about AMD Vega Graphics versus Nvidea 1070/80/80Ti in DCS ?

Hello all, Having a bit of a dilemma on weather i should repair my PC or upgrade it. The problem is that there is a hardware fault (out of warranty) in my motherboard causing the clock to display random times and change at will, even going back in time. The last few weeks the problem is getting more frequent and as such it's related issues immensely annoying. Now the question is, should i just buy a new mobo and keep the other hardware, or go for a new mobo+cpu upgrade? Running Windows 8 mobo: Asus Z87-A (socket 1150) CPU: I7-4770 GFX: GTX 970 RAM: 16 GB Kingston Hyper X multipe SSD's and a HDD Monitor 4K phillips 40" Now i have not played DCS in a while because of a lack of performance at 4k as well as this clock issue causing all kinds of weird stuff. But planning to get back into things. Ill also intend to run Folding @ Home for extended periods of time. So, get a new mobo, personally love ASUS. Or maybe better upgrade to either an Intel / AMD platform? (considering threadripper because of the folding, though ryzen should do quite nicely as well) And what is the latest news on graphics cards in DCS for running on 4k resolution? (Focussing on DCS 2.xx since 1.5 will be absolute soon, well, DCS soon anyway)

You mean the optimizations being implemented in other games right? Not the ones (in general) in DCS. Also, last time i checked the take of ED was not to support multiple cores, apart from the sound engine. Anything changed in the last 2 years orso?
