Yet more expense

Oh dear I appear to have pre order a 3090. Oooops

For good VR you will need a 3080/3090. I was looking at an AMD tx6900rx for £1200. However according to the forums for Il-2 a 3080 would be better as would the 3090. not cheap. I would certainly be inclined to go Ryzen over i7 / i9. The AMD video card out performs the 3090 or is very close for most games so it is probably a driver issue but I might have to go with Nvidia. To save a bit of money the Oculus Quest 2 is nearly as good as a Reverb G2 and a bit cheaper although an official cable is required due to bandwidth issues with wireless and cheap cables.

Post from the Il-2 forum Yes it does. Really better than a I9 10900K. Don't know the specifics, but the 5000 series are the only ones that can run the Rheinland_Benchmark without the slowdown thing. Ryzen 5000 series right now are the best CPU for Il-2 performance wise.

VR costs a lot. If you dont want to put up with lower resolution, then you will have to spend. I am looking at graphics cards right now and it is scary. Still if it is used a lot then the value per hour is better. At least thats what I tell myself

Nice to see an old dog return Tonar

We couldnt bomb from altitude due to cloud cover so, we went in low. We/I didnt see any ground target icons, only a railway engine in the station. Flattened some houses again.

They will

The thing with controllers is that they dont become obsolete every 3 years Other hardware may differ. Winwing stuff looks cool as well

more news mmmmmm Dear friends, So, here is the new year 2021! Like anyone else, we're going to hope that it will be better than the previous one. However, for IL-2 Great Battles, the last year was quite positive in spite of all complications. We hope that we'll build on this success this year - the plans are quite extensive. Let's start with the first in-game shots of the British fighter Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib which is being developed for the Battle of Normandy. As you can see, it looks nearly complete, but in fact, there is still a lot to do - a hefty chunk of work is left on its cockpit instruments and the flight model. Nevertheless, we're expecting to finish everything before the end of this Spring and release it to all Battle of Normandy customers. Speaking of the Normandy map, the layout of the towns on its continental part is complete for the first iteration. A bunch of landmark buildings and a significant part of AI-controlled ground vehicles planned for Normandy are already done. We're researching the data for the Normandy Career mode. Meanwhile, the AAA trucks are also showing good progress - the GAZ-MM with the 72-K gun will be ready first. Its chassis is ready both in terms of the 3D and physical models while the crew animations and audio are being worked on. We've managed to find the authentic firing tables prepared by the Main Artillery Directorate of the Red Army and printed by the military publishing house of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union in 1943 and made the ballistics of the 25mm rounds and their armor penetration ability in various cases as close to the real thing as possible according to this data. We still have to research and recreate the really complicated correction system for the gunsights, that's what we're working on now while our partners at Digital Forms are creating the complex 3D model of the AAA gun itself as you can see on the screens below:

If 3080s aren't available but 3090s are, then it will have to be one of them @fruitbat I have seen them but I was too chicken to buy! ONLY £1799

I bought a new case for the new graphics card that I cant buy yet. I then found that I needed a bigger PSU. The case is a Corsair 780T and is expensive but it has let me have much tidier cabling.

My friends that live in my computer have a new place to live

I will be there

Soon to be available Thermaltake 675 watt modular PSU. free (postage only)

I spent a lot of time setting up 2 installs of VoiceAttack and getting it to look in the right AppData folders. Got it working eventually. Viacom Pro is coming along well and when I understand what to say it works well. I also have done another cold start and circuit. Need to watch some more videos of how to make the HUD SOI etc.

Cold started an A-10C took off, flew about a bit and went BRRRRRRRT

me too

Making progress with Viacom. Looking forward to trying this

A-20 wiv lotsa bombz
