I believe it was an either/or question, Ray. To the OP...to be honest I have not done much research on GPUs lately but it seems to me that a newer version of the RTX series would serve you better. However, this isn't the best of times to spend on a higher end GPU. I think they're way overpriced. Would the card be used for anything other (game) in addition to flight simulation? Have you considered the AMD alternatives since they too offer 16GB?

One more question for the boffins: Would a 4K tv work "properly" if I chucked a 1440p signal at it? Advantages/disadvantages? I'm certain my computer would not be able to deal with the demands of a 4K set @4K bearing in mind that I almost always fly add-on tubeliners.

I wonder whether Winwing espouses the "just in time" manufacturing principle (scaled to their size). Given the flight simulator market for these specialised products isn't exactly gargantuan it makes sense for them to wait for a minimum number of pre-orders to come in before they do a batch. I could be totally wrong, of course.

You forgot the sidelines popcorn group.

The source isn't exactly a paragon of unbiased, objective journalism.

It's a complex situation. Higher refresh rates will allow (usually) a higher fps lock. However, is a higher fps count (provided it is above 30) really matter all that much in flight simming? That again depends on the type of simming you do. Tubeliners don't really need high refresh rates. Low and slow, would (paradoxically). Would a smaller screen size offer the same immersion as a large tv? Doubtful but then again it is really up to what you prefer and the kind of flying you do most.

Lighten up, Markus. You're reading way too much in a post that was made tongue-in-cheek. We live in a world that is going to hell in a hand-basket. Bringing that same intensity to a forum that is dedicated to simming (basically a game) is entirely unnecessary. IMO, naturally.

Someone should open a popcorn stand in these fora. They'd make a killing. 🍿🍿

According to OAG the YMML - YSSY route is the 6th busiest globally. Getting to and from the airports far exceeds the flight time.

+1 🤣 To the OP: OrbX stuff is also, usually, pretty poorly optimised so if you go for it be P3D for some kind of performance degradation especially if using AI traffic.

🤣

When it's time, it's time. Best we can hope for is a quick and painless exit and that's where lifestyle choices may help. Choosing a "healthy" lifestyle with hopes of achieving triple figures is pretty meaningless.

I wonder whether anyone has hooked up a short throw projector and tried flight simming with it.

If their A20N is anything to go by it'll be incremental changes, first implemented in the Development version and then trickled down to the Stable release.

You gotta hand it to these guys. Respect.
