Wow, they kept this one quiet! Anyone have a spare few million dollars? https://www.aircraftrestorationcompany.com/fw189

Holy crap, video cards in stock!!!!!!

thanks guys, so the AMD tend to get better single core performance, thats something I didnt know. a 750W power supply cant do any harm and wont cost a lot more. so I will bump that up for sure. the GPUs at PC specialist they didnt actually list an RTX 3080Ti. it should hopefully be in budget though, so I may as well build it up to the best it can be, Id hope this will see me for another 10 years. and I will just update parts as and when needed.

I spent mine on my graphics card

Nice Roger! I have mine working and flying as of today, I can probably put the CH control board in this case also. I modded my oldest USB Microsoft stick, it developed a bad trigger switch in between the two Top Guns I won years ago. I still have two perfectly working specimens though, for backups. I had to remove part of the FFB shaft with my dremel and box knife, then bore the CH handle to 9/16" IE 14mm to fit the shaft of the FFB. This is a confidence run, and if I do this again, I'll figure out a way to not ruin the shaft on the FFB again. A system like these guys have made would be the way to go. https://www.vrsimpits.com/ skip to 18:18 or so on this vid to see what I mean. Just got to get a 3d printer or find some chap with one that want's the challenge. I wander flee markets and consignment shops all the time, anytime I see one I grab it. I have yet to pay more than 20 dollars for a Joystick since I got the X45 years ago ad CH pedals, I have two of those accumulated, one is shot and only for parts any more. Plus several others, Game-port stuff, just for parts to scavenge from someday, looks like someday showed up LOL I have the FFB stick handle board's hanging out ATM and will be ordering some buttons and switches to incorporate them through the case also. Not a single store here local carries anything for this kind of stuff anymore. 😞 I have the CH base open and exposed yet, halfway thinking about just moving all the extra stuff to it though. Then put in a short cable and connectors externally, future proofing a cockpit layout down the road, not to mention gaining the use of the three pots in there.
