  1. So, you want something that will provide a good experience, but you don't want to "spend time setting it up"... Yeah, I'm sure that's gonna turn out great...
  2. Sounds like a "you" problem, not compatible with "30 years of IT"... Have not had any sich experience amd works perfect all the time, from CV1 through Rift, Rift S, Quest 1 and 2 as well...
  3. Same... Quality issues apart, after they promised upgrades for almost all planes to P3Dv4, and then backtracked, I will not buy any product from them again, even at low price.
  4. Wish I would have seen it before. While Aerosoft's product page says it was until the 30th, it was no longer on sale on that day. Email to support did not even provide a reply from their "Stellar" customer support, so probably will buy next sale but from a different store...
  5. Agreed. I think the "I for one have no interest in the whole pretend pilot thing" is the most ridiculous comment I have found to date... This guy is is clearly in the wrong place...
  6. That is more or less what my head was thinking, but wanted to hear opinions since a lot of folks praise UW while others mention these shortcomings. Regarding VRR, I will give a shot at connecting my machine to my current TV, which actually does have VRR (It's a Hisense U78H). Let's see how it goes...
  7. Hi folks, Looking around to get some information towards getting a new monitor, and while there are tons of information available it seems that pretty much everyone just "defends" whatever monitor thy purchased and not really providing the why beyond that they just like it. I mean, that's fair of course we all should use whatever we like more, but I am trying to understand exactly what each option gives you and why, with the idea of getting the best possible views for flying. I also get that GA vs Airliners are different, and so what could be an ideal view given by a monitor for one could not be as good for the other. I was these days considering one of those Ultrawide ones, specifically a 34" Dell monitor, that as most UWs has a 3440x1440 resolution. Some videos I saw are making me reconsider, due to there not being sufficient vertical real estate, etc. more noticeable in airliners. So here are the questions I have, maybe some of you will know the (technical) answer to. Regarding monitors and their images, the immersion we can get, etc., I guess there are three main parameters, which would be the actual physical size, the resolution, and the FoV (not really a property of the monitor, but you know), and then the refresh rate they can support. Anything else worth consideration? I can understand that the higher the resolution, the sharper/better defined the image you can get will be. What I mostly hear people that vouch for ultra wide say is that you cannot beat the immersion that the extra horizontal FoV gives you. And this is where I kind of think to myself "ok, sure, but that really depends on what you compare against". I mean... Sure, if you compare to a "normal" 2k 16:9 monitor which is 2560x1440, you get the same vertical resolution but a lot more horizontal, so I can appreciate that. But: - If a "normal wide" 16:9 2k monitor wouldn't have the "squashed" look for airliners for example, why does the ultrawide when they have the exact same vertical resolution and the ultra wide just adds more image to the sides? - While the ultrawide does give you the extra horizontal image and "fov", why would that matter if you use a 4k screen, which will have exactly the same (or more actually) horizontal resolution than the ultra wide at 3840, plus the added vertical resolution of 2160 ? Wouldn't the actual best option order be: 4K > UW > 2K ? (And I do get that some GPUs may not be able to push 4k, but assuming you could, or else just go down the list in that order) Also get that the physical size matters, cause you could have a small 4K with beautiful but tiny image and there's zero immersion there... But in summary, best view for flying, both GA and Airliners without feeling *something* (be it instruments, view of the environment, part of the cockpit, etc.) is missing. I read you 🙂
  8. Was not talking about "going xbox to get it on pc" or any weird thing like that. Meant if with a single purchase you get both the xbox version and the pc version.
  9. So for those that purchased, are purchases per platform? On pmdg website it says only PC, so I assume if I buy from them direct, I only get the PC version? If I purchase from the marketplace, and I also have the MS version (which lets you okay Pc and Xbox, both). does it work on both Xbox and PC, or what is the deal?
  10. So had you purchased those "L" shaped ones? Would the one specifically for honeycomb be a good option in your opinion?
  11. Sale or no sale, not a very good idea to buy something that they will evidently stop supporting...
