Following this thread. thanks RMM

I used a CH Eclipse Yoke for a while. For the price, it is a good piece of gear. There are paddles just in front of the yoke handles. They can be set for rudder control. RMM

Great thread ! Thanks RMM

Thanks Steve... My replacement motherboard just arrived. I will have to get the machine up and running and then digest all this. I will surely read all your posts again. P3D is new to me. Much appreciated. RMM

Rmmm, on 06 Feb 2016 - 5:07 PM, said: What CPU(s) does your PC use? Hi Steve: I have a new build. i76700k CPU with 16GB of Ram and an EVGA Classified 980Ti GPU Your recent other threads are in my bookmarks. Your suggestions are really welcome and greatly appreciated. RMM

SteveW... Could you provide the .CFG section titles and exact code for both the AM and Addons entries you suggest? thanks RMM

Michael... Could you go into a bit more detail and step by step for the tweak you describe here, please? "After the sim is up and running, go into the task manager, enter the affinity/cores (or similar) entry, switch off core 1, quit okay, do the same once more, switch on core 1 again, make sure all cores are running again." Task Manager in Windows 7, has a Performance Tab and a "Resource Monitor" ... but I do not immediately see how to switch a core off and back on. I note that there is Core 0 and then Core 1. Also, could you explain what this actually does in system? Why does the "OFF" then "ON" change how the cores perform and activate all four? thanks RMM

Just saw a tech blog write-up on Avegant's new "Glyph" retinal imaging display. Available for pre-order at a substantial discount. Any early adopters out there up to the task? RMM See: https://avegant.com/technology

Steve Cannell.. What size are those 2 x 4k screens? RMM

TED.. See Rob Ainscough's comments on his 49" 4k Sony TV here... http://www.avsim.com/topic/449322-bought-a-4k-screen-for-prepar3d/ Elsewhere on Avsim, I saw Rob comment that a bit larger size might have been good. But like all of us, we choose in on budget constraints. Rob has mentioned his 49" Sony 4k tv in numerous threads and is obviously very pleased with it as a P3D monitor. So it seems 55" is a really good sweet spot for price and real estate. I plan to buy the Samsung UN55JS7000 soon. The price was $997 then back went up. A couple of online vendors offer it at just over $1100. RMM

Hello Vernon.. Go to www.rtings.com here http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ju6500 The reviews here will help you a lot. This model is not good for watching movies. But supports 30Hz with full 4:4:4 Chroma. So for flight sim use it should be good. Regarding size...after a lot of reading on Avsim and elsewhere, the general rule is that bigger is better. But I suggest you compare with other models and read every review you can find. Compare with other brands in this size. The rtings.com reviews are the best. RMM

For most LED TV's, if you want to check for 4:4:4 chroma at 30hz and 60hz then go to the reviews by Rtings. Very technical and detailed. These folks buy the TV in the store, so they are looking at a unit "From the Field" so to speak. www.rtings.com They also have excellent pages on details like viewing angle, panel types, blur, etc. RMM

Hello Aaron.. Avsim has a lot of threads on this topic. If I am correct, the jump to 4k should be done only after other more cost effective upgrades of your existing set up are considered. Better not to go in underpowered. IMHO...the 680 won't be the best choice. If you do some extensive searching, you will find lots of discussion on this very subject that will inform your decision. I plan to build a new system around a 55" 4k tv in the next few months or possibly weeks. For sure this will be an i7 Skylake 16GB system and an EVGA Classified 980Ti. My choice for the 55" 4k tv is the Samsung UN55JS7000, SUHD, IPS panel. Hope this helps. RMM

Hello Adam.. I am planning a very similar system except with a 55" 4k LED television as primary monitor. I will go with the EVGA Classified 980Ti, because the cooling system is highly regarded. Also, I plan to use a Noctua NH-D15 or D15S for cooling the CPU. Have not made my mind up on the mobo as of yet. System on SSD will use a Samsung 950Pro with NVME. HDD my existing WD Black Caviar 2TB hard drive. I am thinking to hold off my purchase until the new Nvidea Pascal GPU's arrive. This should drive the 980Ti prices down quickly. Hope this helps. Your system choices look good to me. RMM

Hello Ray.. Sent you a followup PM. Hoping for some screenshots from FS Flight Keeper that show flight path on a map for heading review, altitude during the flight, speed especially during approach. Typical post flight debrief for student pilot training by simulator. Thanks RMM
