February 9, 20251 yr Debating on my 1st sim plane purchase. Which one would you go with? i7-13700KF @ 5.3GHz 32.0GB DDR5 @ 5600 RTX 3080 65" LG OLED @ 4k
February 9, 20251 yr They are both exceptionally good. Up to you what you prefer to fly first (because you really should get both in time... ) Ryzen 7 9800x3D @5.2GHz; ASUS X670-P Motherboard; nVidia 4080 (factory o/c); 32G 5600MHz DDR5 SDRAM; Pimax Crystal Light VR Headset; Quest 3 VR Headset

Up to you what you prefer to fly first (because you really should get both in time... ) +1 I just updated both (for 2024). The Hawk is maybe easier to start (if you enjoy cold & dark startups), handles well and is fun to fly. The Vulcan is harder, but what a splendid sight it is!! Both aircraft are superbly modelled inside and out and sounds are good too. Can't comment on flight model as I haven't flown either in RL (LOL).
February 9, 20251 yr In fact both are super planes, but make life easier for yourself and start with a trainer aircraft, so the Hawk.
February 9, 20251 yr Yup, both very different aircraft but also both are superb. For your first, I would agree with the Hawk. It is an easier aircraft to fly and will probably offer more 'fun'. The Vulcan is a way more complex beast but probably more rewarding from a simulation perspective. Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB, Win 11. MSFS2020. Moza, MFG, Fulcrum & Virpil controllers. Quest 3 for VR.
February 11, 20251 yr Author Based on the advice of the members, I went with the Hawk. Just starting to get to play with it but, so far, I'm impressed. i7-13700KF @ 5.3GHz 32.0GB DDR5 @ 5600 RTX 3080 65" LG OLED @ 4k
