  2. What mods do you use?

    Perhaps those that use a wide variety of them could provide an explanation with screen shots as to what they do?

    And a Link to them or upload them to the vault JSGME ready.

     

    I can't seem to find that Swaz-Sticker or the Cockpit packs that Crash listed up top?

     

    I use the Dogz icon Mod, But I'd like to tweak it to show pilots name at 500 meters, in RL we would be able to read the aircraft Number.

    In 1946 I use to host with plane type at 2000 meters and friendly pilot name at 500 meters they both slowly faded in to view at thos ranges so you actually was shortened 200-300 meters I miss that.

    @Gpatricks No that is not me, I didn't get a PC until 1998 and my first flight sim was Janes WW2 Fighters and Microsoft Combat Simulator 1 at the same time.

    I was a bunch of different Toad's toad465, 82nd-Toad, MAD-Toad, 131st-Toad, BP-Toad, V228PT-Toad, DD-Toad, Nearly always T_O_A_D, or T_0_A_D on Forums even outside of gaming stuff. 

  7. As far as Monitors go

    Yeah, that looks like a nice Monitor, and you are not alone thinking the way you do about VR and Flight sims, I have talked to several that have said the same thing.

    I myself have been holding out on it due to clarity that you mentioned and a better interface that has no hiccups tracking your hands, for clickable cockpits.

    And since the only Game that is active among us is DCS that supports it, isn't my favorite to play, well then there is no real need for it.

    I need to ask FunFlak what Monitor model he purchased he seems real happy with it.

    Ok, so, a while back, Nvidia started supporting AMD Free Sync as well as G Sync so as not to discourage anyone with a Free Sync monitor from buying an Nvidia cards. Might need a Displayport cable. Don't know how it stands now but back when I got my monitor, about 2 years ago maybe, the equivalent AMD Free Sync monitor would cost you about a hundred USD less or more. My point is, you can use either with an Nvidia cards but check specific model compatibility no matter which Sync you go with, do your research. I'm running 1080p at 75Hz on a 34 inch AMD Free Sync monitor on an RTX 2060 Super, Intel i7-10700K and 32GB of 3600Mhz memory. 1080p, but 2560 wide (2,764,800 pixels). In DCS on mostly High settings I'm capping out at 75FPS almost constantly. IL-2 BOX Maxed out is pretty much constantly capped at 75fps, I think the lowest it's ever been is maybe 65 but if it even does it's rare. Sometimes on DCS Supercarrier takeoff it'll get down to 45 if I look back while staged to launch but I'm still running an old version of DCS, 2.5 something (too much to download on satellite) so I'm sure it'll run even better with the latest optimizations I believe DCS has implemented recently. I picked up a couple of Lenovo 19 inch monitors for each side and now I can run triple monitor with the 34" ultrawide in the middle, but when I do that it's a video card crusher. Even if you go 1440p I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HUGELY recommend you go for an ultrawide preferably curved if you can but it's not necessary, I get no noticeable edge distortion on anything. They go even wider now but your going to be pushing a massive amount of pixels with anything over ultrawide and it's going to cost $$$$. If you want a deal on something that's not going to kill a graphics card and will look amazing, go with a 2560x1080p 34 inch with as high of a refresh as you can. Otherwise, go for a 3440x1440 and you'll thank me later. Just be aware that's like 4,953,600 pixels so you're gonna want a 3080 ti or better when the prices, IF the prices drop. I'm looking to pick up at least an RTX 3080, probably a ti. I'd love to get a 3090 but the prices are just way too ridiculous right now.

     

    Thanks for all that, 5ms response time is concerning about the VeiwSonic, I'm used to 2ms. I'm  sure I can still utilize the 970 with the 32 inch at 1080 maybe at 4k with BOS, but DCS has my GPU maxed out at 1080 as the screen shots will show. But I can get the Monitor now, the prices won't change much on those and be ready for a newer GPU when I can get one. I'm totally not worried about VR anytime soon. I get spooked enough while engrossed by my wife as is, a total disconnect from real world with VR are on isn't an appeal LOL It also appears that I may need to add more system Ram, My CPU is loafing along nicely though.

    Yep definitely going to be a 4k Monitor, even if the 970 isn't up to snuff atm my next card will be and thus the reason I'm thinking about the G-Sync option being supported as future proofing the investment.

    So I take it Kevin you Monitor is 60hertz, My 1080P is only 60 hertz, and it looks smooth here, it will make a good 27" second Monitor, and my 24" will be my third. And when Dad comes to visit, I can rob the 27" and hook it up to an older PC and do some 1946 and FPS together.

    Somewhere between 5pm and 10pm CST that would be 6-11 for you.  A couple hours a night maybe, 8-10 for you then I could just be 7-9, that way we'd be gone before the west coast boys show up and peer pressure us out till dawn lol

    Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback, Page two is pictured, it is two separate pictures if you look close you can see they are miss aligned below the F-86, and yes others have everything purchased. Any Chance your moving into the Central Time Zone? I really need another flying Dog in CMT, once I get back to working.

    The game has left a bad taste in my mouth more than once. I try to only buy during the sales anymore, but on occasion I have bit the bullet at full price (Jets) to join in on whats hot ATM, then to only find myself without time or internet to connect with the folks I want to fly with and learn from. I just recently found out from Fenrir on how to tune my FFB all this time it had been giving me opposite FFB on the trim axis, but not the main stick, One other reason it had been such a PIA and not fun enough to put loads of time in.
