Title: Coming back
Post by: Dichotomy on January 23, 2022, 10:41:10 AM
It may be 6 to 8 months to get everything set up the way I want and do some intense offline and online practice.  But I've decided to come back.  I think I've got this simulator sickness figured out.  Just got to rebuy all my controls and get me an AH rig built (anybody know any good rig builders?  I don't really trust online searches for that.

Missed all you old timers a lot but it looks like I'm in a place where I can afford to 'fly' again and have the time to do so :)  <S>

Welcome back!

There must be something in the air. Get it? In the air?

I've just been back for a few days myself and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar faces online in the game.

Welcome back!  Look forward to seeing you in the unfriendly skies!  I’m on a hiatus for another week, but if you need a target to shoot at when you see me let me know!  It’s good to knock rust off with a live target.

Welcome back!

Places like Digital Storm (https://www.digitalstorm.com/lynx.asp) Build and test good computers. I know of a few players who have bought from them and have no complaints. They are not cheap due to the shortages of parts because of Covid. The other thing to watch for is delivery time when placing an order anywhere.

Thanks Fug.  Good to see you by the way.  I'll give em a look.  I'm looking to drop about a grand in my gaming / playing rig.  :) I'm thinking I'm going to go with oculous for the immersion and get CH pedals, throttle, and joy stick.  That said I need to build a desk that will give me room for all of that LOL

I've been using a Digital Storm since 2016.  Had to make a change this year because it wasn't keeping up with my work needs.  8 GB of RAM just doesn't cut it any more for what I do outside of the game.  Haven't unboxed the new one yet, just arrived Tuesday, but it's got 32 GB of RAM. 

And yes, Digital Storm had a 3 month wait for the machine I wanted.  I ended up getting a shelfie unit from Amazon with an RTX 3060 graphics card that arrived in 2 days.

Will do Morph.  Figure its going to take 3 to 6 months to get all my old gear, new system, etc, set up but I'm excited.  Got a new WFH job.  8 year wife left me for another dude.  So it's going to take some time to get my doo doo together.  Good to see you old friend :)

Man who is this Dichotomy guy? I have not flown with you for almost 10 years maybe more. I have not been here for a long time either but may come back but will be a mouse flyer. I was always and AMD guy when Dam I built my last pc from cyber power pc and it was all AMD stuff. I just picked up a 1 yr old pc from a guy who used it as his streaming machine for $700 bucks it has IE7 4300 I think a gtx980ti card plus a ssd and her in it. I am running max graphics for the game to play now with no problems so who knows but I may redownload Aces and play around with it
