So I am looking to upgrade from my TM HOTAS X, and I am looking at either the X56 Rhino or the TM Warthog. And I am torn, I really like the look of the X56 and the buttons look like they might suite me better than the Warthog. But the Warthog does have all that heft due to the metal, so what I was wondering, I will be using them on a desk for now, are they any metal plates that I can just attach to the bottom of the X56 to add to the weight and keep them as stable as the Warthog? I thought the Warthog would be the best choice but the X56 looks really good but it just seems so lightweight and needs beefing up

I have just bought a Ryzen 9, 32GB, 2080Ti pc, but running at 1440p, with settings set around 3/4 i cant get over 50fps. Is this an issue with FSX or do i have something set wrong? I know about the DX10 fix (that you have to pay for, which is stupid) but is there anything else I can do to boost my FPS for free...or should I just get a more modern sim like XP11 or P3D? Oh and i do have FS2020 but there arent any military planes out for it yet...and who knows if/when they might release a Phantom

So how do these addons compare to the one included in X-plane 11? As they are both the same price

So I am an off and on simmer, been playing flight games and sims for almost 30 years but not seriously. Anyway, the arrival of the lovely looking new MSFS has got me looking at sims again but what I really want the fly is the F-4 Phantom....I have a few freeware mods for FSX but I really want to find the best. So do i wait for an updated version for the new MSFS...buy an existing payware mod for FSX (if so what one?) or buy X-Plane 11 which has a Phantom as a default aircraft?
