  1. Cool Joystick Issues Solved I have been trying for several days to fly with my new PowerSpec G434, specs seem good for MSFS 2020 (bought Premium Deluxe), but my 15 year old joystick (Microsoft Sidewinder) was VERY difficult to fly with. Mapping and remapping control surfaces, throttle, parking brake to buttons. Then trying keyboard controls. Not working very well, even with minimizing sensitivities. WELL, I bought a Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas One today ($79) and it solved ALL the issues. Separate stick and throttle and many buttons. It even automatically mapped all the controls. Much more controllable and I haven't even gotten to most of its potential yet.

  3. I recently bought a Micro Center Power Spec 434: I79700K, Zotac NVidia RTX 2070 Super Mini, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, added a second TB SSD, CPU cooler, 27 inch curved AOC monitor ...
  4. Mine is currently 210 Mbps, and it looks like it is going to take about 2-2 1/4 hours.
  5. Will the scenery be so good that there will be no need for 3rd party scenery?
  6. Will the scenery be so good that there will be no need for 3rd party scenery?
  7. Some of you guys may be negative or overly critical of, yet to be out there, hopefully fantastic, FS 2020 ... I think it will be an adventure, technically and experientially ...
  8. I pre-purchased the Premium Deluxe yesterday. It just occurs to me, none of my collection of FSX 3rd party scenery will be useful for FS 2020, right?
  9. I've been combing that spreadsheet on Reddit of appliers for Alpha and their system parameters, trying to find some rationale for who gets selected, as I bought a whole new system and reapplied recently ...
  10. ... of course ... megabits per second ... did you want a capital "M"? ...
  11. That's why I said "aesthetically pleasing" ... take a look at the spreadsheet on Reddit of appliers for Alpha, accepted and not accepted ... how do you know so much, sir?
  12. I have internet speed 150-230 mbps, 8gb VRAM, (2) 1 TB SSD's, RAM is expandable ... the lights are asthetically pleasing ...
  13. Hi all. The system I mentioned below, Dell T3600 with Xeon E5-1607 and Zotac NVidia RTX 2060, crapped out (motherboard I think), so I took a leap and bought, MicroCenter PowerSpec G434, with Intel Core I7 9700 KF, Zotac NVidea RTX 2070 Super Mini, 32 GB DDR4-3600, and a glass side of case with all kinds of cool light on the cooling system, should be much better positioned for Flight Simulator 2020, reapplied for alpha ...
  14. Note, hard drive is Professional 1 TB solid state Read 500 and write 470 MB/s
  15. My previous FSX system is an Alienware M17X-R3 laptop, from 2011. I was recently given a desktop and have applied for FS 2020 Alpha, its specs are: Dell Precision T3600 Intel Xeon E5-1607 64 G RAM NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 (ZotacGaming) 6 G VRAM Dell Precision H310 SCSI 1 TB hard drive Does anyone have any comments on the potential performance of this system? Thanks, Carl
