P.e.g.a.s.u.s

I would have gone for Standard, had it not been for my better half who caught me binge watching youtube videos of the trailers and tests. She 'convinced' me to go premium. It's her fault.

On a lighter note, I think any version will be just cool. I hope A2A launch some AC for it soon, then I'm good to go. I'm just a little concerned this might spell the end of my P3D aspirations.

Tomorrow's the day.

Have a good one.

Dearie me, was it them funny mushrooms? Apologies, my bad.

You haven't stated what rig you have, so perhaps the minimum specs listed here would help:

Perhaps the most challenging bit for many will be the bandwidth requirement, though it will also run with reduced textures with poor internet access.

Mine said "Gee, how many times have you watched that video [YouTube trailer]?"

Me "Uh...a few [=11 times]"

"Then you'd better get it, and the premium one or you'll be so unhappy"

Me :)

Iain, 2x the price won't give 2x the performance, for sure. The way I see it, the newest I5 will only get you about 15-20% higher FPS. An I7 won't be much more.

I'm looking at this as a successor build:

 

AMD Ryzen7 3700X

32 GB Ram

Nvidia RTX 2070 Super

a 570 chipset motherboard (haven't settled on a particular one yet).

1TB Samsung 970 NVMe m.2 SSD

 

If my 'research' holds, I too should see about 20% higher FPS than with the rig in my sig.

I have no problems with the pedals, with FSX or XP-11beta. They're connected directly to the PC via USB, tht other Saitek bits use a hub. I installed the pedals while I still had Win7, then at some point installed FSUIPC. When I upgraded to Win10, the pedals were still recognized OK.
