I hope that xp, soon will have seasons.

Yeah, I really want to get back into it, so I listen to all what has been said. Anyone knows if there would be a problem with the Saitek panels? Thanks.

What about the Saitek panels, would they work?

Thanks all.

Thanks for feedback, the 200 was just to name something a new I would do. Over time I might spend more money.

I normally go with the smaller GA types. VFR and scenery goes hand in hand for me. But sometimes I would probably do some IFR and Airliners, without the FMC. I did have some good A2A for FSX, but it's not the most important anymore, it was years ago.

Hi all. I have been away from flightsimming for severel years. Last time, I used FSX with tons of addons. I feel that FSX is outdated, and no longer the sim I want to use. I have been looking at 2 new sims, Prepar3d and X Plane. I have several saitek panels, and the pedals plus yoke, the ones almost all others have. Ofcourse it would be nice to use that hardware again. I care about graphics, realism, and a fairly userfriendly flightsim, i know simming isn't always easy, but i kinda growing tires of fooling around with ini files. A LOT of that i did with FSX. A little tweaking is ok, but the sim must be somewhat ready out of the box. I am ok with spending some aditional money, but not over 200 dollars, IF I can awoid it. But we all know how it is with flightsimming 🙂 So come with your input, help me get into simming again, tell me what's up and down on all this in 2019. Thanks in advance.

At least they are working on it...

I was actually thinking about switching to prepar3d. It seems like they are ahead with graphical settings.

Sorry, i did not explain my self very well. I have mesh, but wondered why it wasn't including in 3 packages. RIGHT NOW, at this very moment I'm thinking about switching to prepa3d. But what about my already purchased FTX Global?

Seems like i would still need a mesh, even with the 3 ORBX products.

Yup, its about Europe. I can see you can save some money now, so maybe i should just try it?

I was also thinking about variety of textures, you should think it will work better together with just orbx products. I just haven't tried it yet.

I was wondering this: I already have FTX Global, UTX, and custom mesh installed. Do i need Vector and OpenLC, isn't that the same as UTX and my mesh? Or is ORBX products better? Please fill in your feedback. Thanks.

I thought about the monitor situation. 4K is high, and if I go with that, i'm forever stuck with getting Ultra high end cards, or switch monitor again. And how far are 4K at the moment? Not everything can be run in 4K right?

Thinking about upgrading my 780 card. But what to do? Not sure i will do it for "just" a 980. But what about the Titan X? That will give me a lot better performance, yes? But then again, 2x970 is cheaper and performs better? But then again... i only have PCI 2.0, so perhaps a bottleneck with 2x970? And IF, i choose a Titan X, should i go 4K Then? Please join with all you input, i can't figure what to do, and keep in mind this is not just for FSX, but also gaming.

Well, perhaps you are right. This shouldn't be a DX9 vs DX10 thread, but happy thoughts :-) I just like the discussion, because i have been split 50/50 about this.

These posts are just fine. DX9 and DX10 threads are indeed very relevant. With the DX10 Fixer, it's absolutely worth a try.

Ok, that sounds like good temperatures. Thanks for replying. :-)

Thanks for the reply. And I think my 2600k does a fairly good job.

What if HT is disabled? Can you run higher speeds, or does it not matter. I ask because I run with HT off on my 2600k, to reduce heat and stuttering.

Perhaps someone tried a similar cpu to the 5930k?

Now I run my 2600k at 4,6ghz HT off. Would it be worth getting the 5930k with 6 cores? Clearly I probably can't make it run at same speed, perhaps 4,0 or 4,2 at best. Anyone tried this or similar CPU?
