Multi PC for MSFS, or am I dreamin'?

Featured Replies

G'day everyone,

 

Just toying with some ideas here to consider if it's worthwhile (or even possible) to have a second PC to run Flight Sim generally. I'm still on P3D for the PMDG aircraft but all the rest is now on MSFS.

 

Over the last year or so I've added so many external USB devices that my relatively new PC struggles to see them all. I often have to unplug/replug rudder pedals or the mouse after Windows has started to get it to recognise all the peripherals. I realise that this problem is down to me and my love of extra bits and pieces, but even with two powered USB hubs my PC is close to freaking out.

 

Has anyone run dual systems and how would that work sharing hardware (monitors, graphics etc) and peripheral control software like SPAD.NEXT?

 

I can't be the only one in this position. Can I?

 

Cheers

One way to fix usb shutting off is to Also ID yourUSB flight controls in Windows Control Panel / Device Manager under Human Interface Devices. In each onesproperties make sure Advanced Power Management is disabled. And do the same thing for every USB hub in Device manager.

Every Windows update will reset all these to allow instead of disabled. You probably have about 30 listings in device manager if you have 5 or 6 controllers and thumb drives and such.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
