Classic British Flight Sim

We use it when abroad but that's all. It's useful if accessing UK only TV for example. Paul, I have pictures of donkeys wearing PJ trousers if you're interested?

Version 2 is a much improved on version 1. It's much more stable in flight and trim actually works. A downside though is it's not as sprightly as it ought to be. I know it's getting old (aren't we all) but roll rate appears to be reduced and it's not quite so keen to get off the ground. Suspect this ...

By the way the Arctic Freezer 36 is a superb fan for the money. Currently £38.99 on Amazon although that's a slight increase in the £35 I paid early Jan. It was given a best buy award on Gamers Nexus on the basis of best bang for the buck. Slightly awkward to fit but othewise it's a brilliant fan ...

Good catch Paul. I thought I had a 5600x before I took the fan off to reveal the 3600x. That gave me much more bargaining power with the budget holder.

Our internet connections are now a critical part of our set up and a poor connection can be as bad or worse than a poor PC. Have you looked at Starlink Mike? We are still on copper and awaiting an upgrade to fibre - they did have the town last year and we were supposed to follow on immediately but ...

This could go in the Virtual Spanner section but I thought it might be of more general interest...

There's huge emphasis right now on new processors (particularly AMD) and GPUs (particularly NVidia). I'm still on the newly old AM4 platform and changing to the latest and greatest would involve a ...

MSFS 2020 with an occasional dabble with XPlane 11 and DCS. I've just upgraded from a Ryzen 3600x to a 5900x and 2020 is almost a different sim as a result. I do plan to go to 2024 later this year but we're waiting on a network upgrade from copper to fibre.

Hi Joe, I'm not going near MSFS 2024 for a while but the 7800 XT has made an enormous difference to 2020. Not only do I not get CTDs but I can finally see what the fuss is all about. A flight over London was revelatory - all the buildings display with no loss of FPS or stutters. Previously it's been ...

Thanks chaps! RL as you say Mike. I've been away in mainland Europe for a couple of months and only recently got back. And then there's catching up on all the stuff that's piled up in the meantime. Also, I've not been simming much as ongoing GPU problems cause frequent CTDs. Soon to buy a 7800 XT so ...

It does look impressive and I'll probably get it earl 2025. I'm soon to change my GPU from a vanilla 2070 to a 7800 XT, so that's enough expenditure for a bit.
