March 20, 20179 yr It is unfair to compare various sims by "performance" when some of them do not provide the features and cope with the detailed addons that are notorious for killing performance.

[...] Congratulations for your new setup. May I ask what's this throttle quadrant called that you have there and where you could possibly purchase this? It looks quite cool. Edit: Throttletek, I see. Are they good quality? Regards Lars Wüst

Now start poking it about and tweaking and 'making it better' until you completely balls it up! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link.

March 22, 20179 yr Author CaptainLars, I sent you a PM on my opinion of the throttles. Paul Gugliotta

Are you saying eNVee is going to leave the forum because he disagrees with you? I agree with him wholeheartedly and it appears many others do as well. Just because you're rich and you've been here a long time doesn't make your opinion any more or less valid than anyone else's. On 3/18/2017 at 3:27 PM, paulyg123 said: May I remind you that I have been a member here longer than just about anyone else. Quite irrelevant. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of your super expensive new hardware is unnecessary to get high end results in P3D. You've been flaunting your cash a fair bit in this thread, going on about your hellcat and your $1200 trips to full motion sims and all. Not sure what the point of it is but if you're trying to impress people, it's not working. Jeff Calder

March 24, 20179 yr Author Jcalder. Unless the JC stands for ******* Christ, then I don't owe you further explanations. Please stay on topic and end taking shots at me or I'll fill up my 747F with ice cubes and dump them in your airport. Paul Gugliotta
March 24, 20179 yr I can only take a good shot if it's set up properly... :) Keep your stick on the ice. As I've said, it's a sweet machine you have, just unnecessary for what you're using it for and the only reason I've been posting is to educate others that you don't need anything nearly this powerful to achieve good performance. C'est tout. Jeff Calder

March 24, 20179 yr Who cares? If I had more money than I could ever possibly spend I'd have this rig too, maybe even a better one. Seems to have gotten some people all bent out of shape. Ashamed to report I'm limping along on a 3.0 GHZ machine with 6 GB of RAM. And although lots of folks on here say, "spend the money on the CPU vs. the graphics card", for kicks I did throw in a NVIDIA 1050 a couple of months ago and it instantly doubled my frame rates. Hoping to make it to one more tax season before building a new rig. Mark Trainer Mark Trainer
March 24, 20179 yr I'm on my second Jetline system. Not the high end one. Love it. My third box, should I need one, will come from them as well. Cheers, Mark
