July 13, 201411 yr Not for everyone. Didn't work well for me. Did you calibrate your axis's through it? Windows 7. Why mess with the Win 8 Joystick issue just to get the "latest" OS. Windows 7 support ends in 6 months. David Graham Google, Network+, Cisco CSE, Cisco Unity Support Specialist, A+, CCNA
July 13, 201411 yr Unless you want hyperthreading, save some money and get an i5 instead of an i7. As long as you get the K version then you can overclock. The money you save can go to extra cooling. And Windows 7 support does not end in 6 months, the security updates and support will run for another 5 years. It is just new features that will not get produced. There will be no SP2 for Windows 7.
July 13, 201411 yr Yes, even with FSUIPC I wasn't very successful. Prepar3d is the only thing that fixed the issue, the joystick keeps working even with Win8 Alexis Mefano

Ah thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a bit premature. Also I do a lot of 3D modeling and video editing HT would be beneficial.

July 14, 201411 yr Author Ah thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a bit premature. Also I do a lot of 3D modeling and video editing HT would be beneficial. Oh, I see. I wonder how much FPS I will get. I'm just hoping to get around 30 fps in FSX with addons such as the PMDG 777 on any advanced scenery. Any rig that can do that is a winner. I also hope a new system will help reduce the CTD as it has ruined my flights a lot in the past. Sagga Toure
July 14, 201411 yr It's not really rig itself that will help with the ctds but how it is setup and configured. Follow NickN's fsx bible and you'll be good to go. David Graham Google, Network+, Cisco CSE, Cisco Unity Support Specialist, A+, CCNA

I haven't played at lot P3D but I haven't noticed any CTD's with it yet so it may not be hardware related hopefully. Sagga Toure
August 6, 201411 yr Author I've finally settled with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Devinci/saved/2kTp99 Already purchased the i7 4790K, I wanted a 6 core processor but looks like FSX doesn't need it and it's well over my budget though it could be useful for my 3d rendering work.

August 6, 201411 yr ?? Oh well... lol! B) Just a suggestion. You'd get a good night for $1700. Said very much tongue in cheek.
