Hi Labroisse! Hope you're doing well. Glad to see you still here!

Thanks guys - I'll do some checking and try to decide on something. I'm so out of the loop on this "new-fangled" technology. I might ask before buying anything to get final recommendations.
Thanks again for your time and insight.

Thanks for the information guys. I may need to bite the bullet and get a new PC - sorry for so many questions, but does anyone have recommendations for (or warnings against) pre-built manufacturers?

"I would think that would be enough, and I know some who are flying with much less. "
Here's what I have now - like I said, it's old, but it ran IL-2 and CloD okay.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
16 Gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 (1 Gb)
I'm not really into other gaming, so if it will the current sims, particularly IL-2: Great Battles or DCS World, then I'd prefer to keep what I have.  Not just for the savings, but for the headache of moving files from one drive to another.

VR as in virtual reality? This is embarrassing, but I don't even know what to ask - does the game run through the glasses?

Thanks Britchot. I downloaded Discord, but will need some help finding the server, etc.

What is your Timezone? -US EST Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? - CH joystick, pedals, throttle Do you have TeamSpeak and Discord installed, as well as a working microphone? - An old version of TS. Probably need to update. Do you have VR, TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? - Track IR 3   What sims are you currently flying? - IL2 1946 and CloD How did you hear about JG1? - It's me - II./JG1_VonNot Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? - I'm trying to get back into this. Kids are older and I'll be retiring in two years. Probably need a new computer and some tech help. I'd like to meet on TS sometime and discuss.

Especially when diving on bandits in 110s. 🙄

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone would be around next week to chat about PC requirements, game version, controller setup, etc. I'm hoping to be able to fly a bit from time to time, but the last game I have installed is Cliffs of Dover. My PC is pretty old, too, and I'm not sure if it will run the game or not Clod runs okay.
 
I have CH combat stick, throttle, and pedals and a TIR version 4 without the vector expansion pack.
 
Thanks in advance,
