    Ahh cool. I see. Nicely done!

    Picked up my Quest 3 yesterday as well, do you use the official link cable or a third party one? The meta one seems a touch pricey. 

    3rd party one that has a chip built in it, that cable to the headset then PC,

    which  then you plug in the headset charger into the chip  then regular electrical wall input for a continuous charge.

    Other words it will start to depleat the battery as you play  while it slowly charges it at the same time.Thus making game play much longer.

    This has many advantages

    1) if you play a long time with a regular plug in cable it depletes the battery faster, also you don't what to deplete very low all the time which will weaken the battery it time.

    2) use of the chip cable gives you longer play time at a safe and less depletion of the battery.

    3) Reg cable will cause quicker wear and tear on the headset small USB because dumb  design flaw constantly unplugging and plugging to charge the headset. With the power cable, plugged in and forget.

    Awesome Chis,

    Yup on Thursday picked up my 4080 SUPER and installed, that's why I was DCS absent.

    All I can say is wow what a difference.

    Still have a lot of tweaking on settings to experiment with.

    16 VRAM is your VR friend ,24 VRAM is even better. You are good for a long long time.

    Still Ridiculous money($1369.00 plus tax) I spent on it, What ever happened to the reasonable priced GPU of the passed, unfortunately now long gone. Good news at least I sold my Quest 2 for $300.00. Bought it new for about $400.

    Unfortunately Sat Feb 10 is out for me, its my wife's birthday,

    and to make matters worse its my 65 birthday on Mon Feb 12. The family was planning some sort of big event.

    However I will let Zukker, Sheriff  and Desmo (Sheriff's brother Niall)     know and you can still partake with them.

    Holy thread resurrection Batman!

    I'm close to (finally) pulling the trigger on a new graphics card and a Quest 3.

    Currently eagerly awaiting the release of the 4080 SUPER - any minute now, right - which after some consideration is probably the card of choice for me.

    Or, do I just bite the bullet and get a 4090 that'll see me for a number of years... 🤔 I can hear @fruitbat whispering "do it, doooooo iiiiiiiit"

    @wingflyr where are you on this now? Did you say you were holding out for the 4080 SUPER? 

    BB,

    Yes Sir today is the day I drop hard cash on 4080 Super, if there sold out I will order one. Asus TUF 4080 Super $1369.00 ca

    still a lot of money for a card IMHO. A 4090 would be nice but, stupid amount of money but if a person can afford it and fell comfortable about it, then I say go for it. The Quest 3 is very very good for its value, quite happy with it.

    Hey Rattler,

    Yes, as Colin says your welcome anytime to fly with us. The more the merrier. We fly DCS pretty much every night Vancouver British Columbia time  around 7:00 7:30ish.

    We would switch to IL2 BOS if Professor or Artie comes in. Also the odd time we will join AP Hill and Capt. Jack on their Discord server flying DCS. Let me know and I will give you the Discord invite.   Wingflyr.
