  4. All, A little over a year ago I shared a video on the forum showing how I built a Flight Simulator PC for my Dad; and later, a second video of how I bought a Meta Quest 2 to compliment the PC and immerse him into the MSFS2020 virtual cockpit. The results were outstanding! Surprising, not only my Dad but also myself as neither of us had experienced VR in such detail and depth before! However, in recent months I noticed he was using less due to mild eye strain and discomfort from wearing his glasses under the visor. So to try and resolve this I bought a Meta Quest 3 and added some prescription lenses from VR Optician replacing the need to wear glasses under the visor. This is how we got on and my overall review for the Meta Quest 3:
  5. Thank you for the many responses. There seem to be a variety of options and I guess it comes down to what works best for you. Put FSX & small add-on's onto the SSD. Large add-on's + the OS onto the hard drive. Put FSX & all add-on's + the OS onto the SSD. Anything else (e.g. other games etc.) onto the hard drive. Put FSX & all add-on's onto the SSD and put the OS onto the hard drive. It sounds as though 256Gb is the smallest SSD you should look at IF you're a fan of FSX. I think I'll go with option 2 for now and see how I get on (although putting the OS on the hard drive makes a lot of sense too, but I'm seeing a 25 second speed saving booting up with the SSD though). Thanks again, James
  6. Hello All, I purchased a 256Gb Samsung SSD over the weekend with the main purpose to run both the OS and FSX on. I also have a number of VFR scenery addons, REX + numerous planes which I would also like to add. However, given how much space this all takes I'm not sure how best to proceed, the aim though is to make both the load times & scenery load times as quick as possible. With the above in mind should I install everything onto the SSD or, leave the FSX installation on the SSD but install the VFR scenery onto the 1Tb HD (a Samsung F3)? Thanks in advance, James
