What is the bottleneck of my system?
cryptomaniac replied to JDH24591's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcYour CPU running at 2.8G doesn't help Your video card is pretty much a minimum these days An SSD isn't the answer for you Higher RAM freq won't significantly help What is your OS?

Buying PMDG 737 NGX - some questions and concerns
Programming an FMC may seem daunting, but it's actually pretty simple once you've done it a few times. If you don't want to use SID/STAR, no big deal, but try it anyways. You may enjoy the added realism it provides.

So what will be your next flight sim?
Until XPlane is up to where we want it to be, or some other revolutionary FS program appears on the horizon, I'll just stick with FSX No plans to move to P3D

CH Products Fighterstick and Pro Throttle...
I originally used the CH Fighterstick for a few years & was satisfied with it. Not long ago the switches were becoming intermittent so it was time for a replacement. I thought about getting another like it since it worked well for years, but instead went with the TM Warthog. This thing is in a class all by itself. Now that I've used it for a little while I will never go back to a regular joystick ever again. I also have the CH pro throttle & pedals but never really liked them. Never felt intuitive to me. Also have the CH throttle quadrant & it lasted about a year before the axis potentiometers started acting up.

Cockpit too large even after zoom out
This is normal when using 3 monitors & that resolution. I have it, too. There is a youtube video (can't remember the name of it) that describes this issue on why this is normal. I usually just use eyepoint back & to the right to get more cockpit in view. It drives me crazy sometimes. I'm thinking of getting TrackIR to help compensate for it.

Odd Caution Warning
I've noticed this too I was going crazy trying to find the cause

Is it worth $90?
Yes, it's a lot, and if the current pace of pricing keeps up, I probably won't get what's coming next I bought it because I think I can get $90 worth of enjoyment out of it I spend more than this whenever the wife & I go to the ballgame John Sanford
-
What!?!?!?
It was exactly what I expected it would cost, since they tend to have a pattern. That means their next plane will be $99 (747 v2?). Yes, I will get the 777 John Sanford

Looking for Suggestions (Triple Monitor or Larger Monitor)
cryptomaniac replied to BobbyBond2's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcI have 2 GTX 670's in SLI & run 3 24" monitors in Nvidia Surround. I love the immersion feel but not the resolution (5760x1080) When flying GA aircraft it is great, but with airliners panning around the panel is annoying. Perhaps TrackIR might make it easier. Do not see any FPS issues with multiple monitors.

Price ?
I sure hope so. I'd be lying if I said price wasn't a dealbreaker. I'm quite happy with what I have already, but if it's priced too high I can live without it.
