  1. Absolutely what he said! I extrude and expand polymers and polystyrene is expanded with butane vs. CO2 or plain compressed air with polyethylene and polypropylene. You want to get out of the area with that much butane off-gassing out of the Styrofoam clouds, LMAO!
  2. As I am new to the gaming PC world, can I ask what the FPS/temp overlay is? How can I get that?
  3. LOL, probably not, but he should be able to watch the flight ahead of him on final land in real life while he's virtually following 😄
  4. I have a fresh PC, my first gaming system. It is pre-built, I could not build it for the price I paid. i7 97700 (whatever the last 3 digits, it's a 97xxx), 32gb DDR4 3600, and 2070Super. Paid $1600 total and couldn't build this for under $2000. I did NOT have a good experience firing up the sim. It recommended High settings and for S&G's I immediately set it to Ultra. I played with some sliders (to find out that was my mistake) and started the flight. I don't know if there is a number small enough to represent my frame rate. I was lost, clicking buttons that did nothing and 10 minutes later recognized the click. I was hours into waiting for my mouse clicks and keyboard hits to register. I couldn't figure out how to back out of the flight back to the main menu because I assumed it was the ESC key and nothing happened. I couldn't get out of full screen nor could I alt - TAB out of the sim because I didn't have any programs running and had nothing for it to switch to. After about 2 hours, the ESC key finally registered and I could get back into the menu and settings. I found the scale slider maxed. I didn't mean to do that. I first thought it was resolution, which was defaulted to 4k. 1080 and resetting to HIGH got me back into the plane and the world and BOOM, smooth and stunningly beautiful. Got up in the air and figured out how to get back to the settings while in flight and started moving things again. That's when I saw the scale slider and moved it back to 100. After that, set everything else back to Ultra and the resolution to 4k and it's butter smooth for me. As for controllers, I have the Honeycomb yoke, flawless with no setup. I don't have rudder pedals so I have my G920 connected but I need a couple utilities I can't get to work to combine my clutch and throttle pedal to a combined axis. I want to also use the shifter between 3rd, N, and 4th as flaps maybe. I have the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas stick that I am using for throttle and an xBox controller I will connect tonight for the drone camera. The flight stick performed with no setup as a flight stick just fine. I changed some key/button/axis bindings around and now my joystick up and down is elevator trim, throttle works well and 2 buttons for flaps up and down on the throttle. I have a ton of buttons I have to configure between the yoke and joystick/throttle yet. They all connected and setup just fine without me doing anything. That's not to say I didn't find it extremely sensitive. I have to play with the sensitivities as the trim wheel barely moves and the airplane pitches wildly up or down and using the elevator control on the yoke also pitches the airplane wildly.
