  1. Count me as another one who has developed difficulties with sleeping through the night.
  2. There has been efforts in congress to end this time change scheme for at least the past 20 years, maybe longer.
  3. I am so sick and tired of doing the time shift dance twice a year. I really wish my government would pick one and stick with it. At this point in my life, I don't even care which one they pick, just pick one and be done with it.
  4. Usually RAM is faster with fewer sticks, so 2x16GB will be faster than 4x8GB. Given the overall speed of today's RAM, I'm not sure the speed difference would be noticeable to most users.
  5. Exactly like the V1, which was nicknamed "buzz bomb" for a reason.
  6. Welcome back. I know some of the more common aircraft like Cessna 172's often have full pilot's manuals available online, just run a search for them.
  7. I will just say that when I see history being changed or erased, it makes my blood boil. History is our guide, it can keep people from repeating the mistakes of the past. History can be ugly and painful, but the ugly and painful parts of history standout as being among the greatest lessons of what not to do.
  8. Went out like a supernova. I remember when this was a Thargoid ship.
  9. Welcome to Avsim. MSFS might just be the best for VFR, enjoying the scenery style of flying.
  10. I did too, got one built by NewEgg. I had to replace the EVGA PSU when it died after barely 2 weeks of use, then the fans in the EVGA liquid cooler when one stopped spinning and the other showed signs of failure. I really did not want to buy a new system, but at that time my old computer was a Windows XP computer and so old that there was no further upgrade possible and parts, especially video cards, were being gobbled up by scalpers and cryto-currency miners.
  11. The last two digits in Nvidia video card model numbers tell the tale of what to expect. Cards ending in "50" or "60" are low-end budget cards, suitable for web surfing and games that do not require a powerful video card. Cards with model numbers ending in "70" or "80" are usually good for more graphic intensive games and sims. Cards ending in "90" are even better, but come with a very steep price tag and their advantage over an "80" series card may not justify the extra cost. There is also incremental improvement from one series of Nvidia cards to the next series of cards. So a 4060 is better than a 3060, but still not as good as a 3080 or even a 2080, but likely would tie with a 1080.
