Re: Advice Please: Nummy Hunkered In, Getting Ready to Blow Cash on good Sim Computer

Hi Nummy,

If that's the goal then this will likely be a good option.

One thought - that motherboard will support a SATA M2 drive - if you were to get a 500GB M2 and fit that instead of the 6TB Barracuda it would make all the cabling a lot simpler and still be more than adequate for IL2

Re: Advice Please: Nummy Hunkered In, Getting Ready to Blow Cash on good Sim Computer

Sorry, Nummy. I'm not up to date with which AMD graphics cards are good or not for the game. Likewise I don't usually look at Ryzen for a gaming PC. Much of that is probably age-old bias, and I did use a Ryzen 7 in the Ops Server I just built. The base clock on the Ryzen chip is 3.2GHz, which is ok,...

I don't recommend playing IL2 over wireless - I would always recommend using a cable to connect the PC to your router.

I'll now be wandering over to Merlin's hut to see if he's set fire to anything else.

Carry on.
Tent, sir. Unusual of you to not notice that we've been under canvas for some time now......

Re: VR hints and tips

The only thing to set up is the two zoom functions. By default these are configured to be on the 'Insert' (1.5x zoom) and 'Home' (5x zoom) keys, so the first set is to make sure that those are not configured to any other aircraft functions. There is also a 10x zoom function mapped to 'Page Up', but ...

In my view, it is ideal for VT use because as well as the buttons on the stick, it has a number of buttons on the base itself and many of ...

Re: Wot VR

Indeed. My only advice would be that with a 1060 card you may struggle a little on some of the more recent VR devices. It would certainly be enough for something like a Rift, but some of the more heavy duty recent ones will require something from the 20xx series. At that point it becomes a decision ...
