My Journey back to the virtual skies

T_O_A_D · September 1

I had a few Christmas bonus credit cards stacked up One that is soon to expire and I noticed WinWing had their stuff half the price it used to be, and I figured if I was going to do that I might as well spring for the GPU and upgrade from the Asus GTX 970

The Asus 4080 Super

and the Winwing Throttle

I'm miles yet from getting it configured and learning how.

I just updated DCS and well that has certainly had some changes in the last 4 or more years.

My trackIR is also not wanting to stay centered and programming a button doesn't seem to fix it either.

I have DCS full settings at 3860 x 2160 on a LG 120hz gaming TV and it is absolutely beautiful with FPS in the 60-90's

I'm still running my I5 at 3.6 too, so when it gets to being sick well LOL

I also just went ahead and hacked my PC case I bought thinking would be big enough forever 12-14 years ago to make the 4080 fit in this case. It has a front rib cage for 10 or so drive bays, that I have never utilized, so when I cut out the obstruction area I made it the correct height to support the 4080, thus negating a need for a support stand or strap. I then split a piece of rubber tubing and laid it over the sharp edge for a soft cushion for the card. Luckily the 1000 watt PSU I put in back in back then too is well more than needed still.

Looking forward to you joining a DCS night soon then

Do any of you have this throttle?

Any good place to find profiles for it?

fruitbat · September 2

DCS forums would be probably a good place to start, try here,

Winwing - ED Forums (dcs.world)

And yes, DCS is pretty beautiful these days!!!

Yep benn scouring there just haven't found any real independent followers of anything yet.

I have notice BOS and others still see my old CHCombat stick I wired into my Microsoft FFB base. But DCS doesn't, that's frustrating.

Oh and Win 10 no longer plays 1946 anymore. Not a big deal, but kills watching old tracks for fun.

46 HSFX 7.0.3 runs fine on W10, even on W11 it does!

You may find some issues installing it ... but you can run it from an old backup copy, make sure DirectX10 is installed

I'll have to look and my versions, I still have them on a separate drive from the OS.

This is the config from the 1946 HSFX install last flown with you guys

with my old 970 card with this video settings, which is the same as my desktop settings.

if you could peek at it and let me know if you see an issue.

I don't guess you still have that checker verification tool hosted anymore do ya?

ChkMods has been archived, locked away, threw away the key

EnableResize=1
EnableClose=1
