Yep, Jedi and Arthur as you said.

It is possible, as the action of splitting one physical core into two virtual cores must incur some processing overhead somewhere. My old i5 had it but I never turned it off though as it didn't seem to matter. The i7 doesn't have it so I imagine it would outperform a hyper-threaded quad-core clock cycle for clock cycle.

That's certainly my view Arthur although that's from my position as a non-VR flier. I've never seen an appreciable difference in my applications other than a hotter CPU when running overclocked. Given that I prefer my CPUs untoasted, I rarely bother with it these days. My i7-9700K burbles along quite happily at its stock 3.6GHz but maybe that's more to do with the 8 cores rather than the CPU speed. That said, it does turbo quite nicely when needed - up to 4.9GHz so I'm told although I've never seen it go above 4.8. The biggest change I've seen in my rig since the swap to the i7 was the addition of a m.2 SSD where my windows installation, apps & games now live - very speedy indeed

Pretty much Col, pretty much.

OK, I give up. I've deleted the separate thread I set up for this.

There is a thread for this guys....

According to Geforce Experience, you can stream directly from your screen to Facebook, Twitch or YouTube (YouTube will allow you to stream at 1080 if your internet connection is up to it). Ctrl-Alt-z is the hotkey to access it.

Twitch Kev?

Might even tempt me into DCS...

Yes, another event goes to the wall ☹️ GBS Dogzford? Yes please. Role demo by the U-2 is in order I think. And we can do our version of the Great War display team too!

Oops

This is where I got the initial answer. https://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/f-16v-viper-fighting-falcon-multi-role-fighter/ Interesting read, but not sure how much credence I give it.

Welcome once again Celeb, sorry about the fun and games getting your account sorted out, but we got there in the end (we usually do, but there's the easy way and then there's the Dogz way...)

This event has been cancelled due to shutdown of the IWM site as part of measures to combat coronavirus.

Never mind - the 4th gen F-16 is the V variant hence Viper

When did the F-16 become the Viper as opposed to the Fighting Falcon?

@SONofHORUS - Worth bearing in mind that we don't fly '46 anymore. The squad is now on IL-2 Great Battles, Blitz (occasionally) and DCS exclusively. I'll PM you the details unless FT beats me to it.

Yep - picked it up during the last sale

I do hope the decisions of the development team are being driven by solid technical data and not the opinions of armchair experts who believe that aircraft A behaved in a certain way because it suits their world view. Who's to say whether or not the P47 would have shed a wing under a specific set of cirumstances? It's difficult for the devs I'm sure but we've seen the fallout of poor decisions here before...

I prefer that too Mick, which is one of the reasons why I enjoyed FT's loooooooong missions in '46, but I know some people prefer PvP so...
