Re: A-6 Preview!

This is just an AI, non-flyable version, as I understand it. Obviously, they may eventually make it flyable. But, I'll believe it when I see it. Everything takes forever to make in DCS, and then it is typically broken in some way. I would love a Vietnam map with access to the Navy variant of the F4....

Re: New PC Build 2025-2026 Questions.

What do you guys think of this i9 build? Thinking of spending extra to future-proof. I know you guys said that it's not worth the cash as there is no guarantee the faster CPU will aid in that, right? How about basically the same build but with i7 CPU ? I would be providing the PC Case, my graphics c...

New PC Build 2025-2026 Questions.

Hi guys, So, I have a lot of research left to do before buying, but I'm somewhat pressed for time and I'm hoping that some of you may help me finalize my decision. I'm definitely "rebuilding" my PC. I hope to use my current PC case, SSD, and GPU. But, I need a new CPU, Mobo, RAM, PSU, Cool...

Still researching PC build. Asus or MSI Mobos? Does it matter?

First of all, I need to research benchmarks, but I'm thinking of going with an Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake-S Refresh 3.4GHz Twenty-Core LGA 1700 Boxed Processor, unless you guys think I ought to be looking at something else. To my primary topic today: I'm leaning towards an Asus Motherboard, bu...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Hi Wingy,

Thanks for this information. I'm considering a 1000 gold, for sure. Did a mock build this morning on Microcenter, and it just makes sense to go with that much power for future proofing.

Re: PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?

Hi Wingy,

So sorry it took me so long to replay these posts. I follow JTC as well. I will definitely watch these videos. Thanks!

Re: Falcon 5.0

Maybe they will make the Navy version of the F-35 available at some point. Anyway, I'm interested. I will keep an eye on this. But, I'm annoyed that RAZBAM has anything to do with this.

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

So, I finally took time to turn my PC case around so I can see what type of PSU I have. The case normally sits on my desk facing a wall. My PSU is a CX600, and so when I upgrade I will have to buy a new PSU as well.

Re: PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?

HI guys, Thanks for the information, which is helpful. I was looking more at a means of predicting my cooling needs to inform my build before actually building it. Wingy, your PC specs are close to what I'm thinking about and so thanks for providing them. Bones, I will check out iCue, as it may prov...

PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?

I posted this question in another thread, but no one responded. I'm not sure if people just don't know the answer or they simply didn't see my question. So, I'm breaking out the question and asking it again here. Does anyone know how to determine: 1. How cool does your machine currently run? I'm thi...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Thanks Panzer, but it's not in the budget. I will likely have to drop a grand into this as it is. I may even need to buy a new case. I likely won't be ready to build this until the spring and will have to limp along on my current rig for a while. Does anyone know how to determine: 1. How cool does y...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Is there a way to determine if the five fan system I own now would be sufficient to keep things cool before installing the new components? Is there an indication in the spec listing of how cool they recommend the box should be? If so, how would o determine the current temps my fans are producing? CW...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Hmm okay. Guess I’ll go that direction. I’m not really a tech wiz but I’ve managed to build a couple computers with Hammer’s help. I hear the modern systems are easier to put together. I’ll need to watch YT and read up on the practice.

Thanks for your help, Xpen!

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Xpen, Actually, I better budget 1000 because I likely need a stronger PSU as well, although, I need to see if I can figure out how much PSU I already have installed, and likely I need to upgrade my cooling system. My current system has three small fans in the front and one in the back and a large 12...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Xpendable, that’s a real shame. MS really screwed the consumer on this one. So, I got the idea to just ask Google, and you’re right, of course, win 11 requires at least an eight gen CPU. I’ll have to buy new ram,Mobo,and cpu to upgrade, as Creeper said. I guess I need to put aside like $800. I’m goi...

Re: Foothold Cold War Germany 08.09.25

At least BMS is cheap. But only has one legit module to fly. The rest are F-16 flight models with shells the last I saw, unless they finally fixed that?
