Vonrd, would you be so kind as to paint up my Pfalz D.III? Use your artistic license with a similar theme as to what you did for the Dr.I. Thank you, very much!

haha, that’s awesome!

The circle aft of the cross denotes IV. Gruppe. They also used a curved line in some Geschwadern ~.

If you're going to build one, I recommend going to PCPartPicker.com and set it up. They run compatibility checks and highlight any issues as well as shop around for the best prices. This is pretty close to my latest build without peripherals (~$2700): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LGg6V6 I went with a i7-9700k because it was about $150 cheaper at the time of my purchase and hyperthreading in gaming isn't used as much as CPU speed is. I also believe that an i7 can be OC'd more than an i9, though I haven't touched it, yet. You could also go with Win10 Home 64 bit, but I wanted some networking freedom with Pro. The compatibility issue with the Mobo and the 9th gen CPU is fixed by getting a cheap Celeron processor and plugging it in to update the BIOS. Good news, I still have mine and can ship it to you for that exact purpose. I got some slightly different RAM, 3600 vs 3200, and a PNY 2080ti but they aren't showing as available on the lists, anymore. Here is my exact build, put together less than 30 days ago. I also had an extra optical drive laying around and went with a 750w PSU instead of 850w. If I run into power issues, I'll probably switch my 1kw from my old PC (way too much for that rig). So far, there has been no problems, though I need to replace a fan in my tower. To drop the price down so you can keep the total under 3k (VR and other peripherals) go with an i7-87XXk and 1080ti, instead. They're the last generation of top models and will do quite well for a number of years, still.

Did you mean to post this in both places?

Also, if it is a complete build you are looking for, what is your budget? Brand new top of the line stuff is ~3k but you can get away with most of last year’s stuff for under 2k. This doesn’t include the VR HMD, which is 3-800.

I’ve heard the name, but it was before me in ‘11. Merry Christmas and welcome back to the forum!

You’re buying a Bf-109?!?

Be sure to get the Mygoto mod

I'm a fan of A Perfect Circle's rendition of Imagine by John Lennon, myself.

Yes you can! ...did you?

That first hangar on Schoolfield was used by a UAV company that I fielded in ‘06. It still had the holes 😎

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I've noticed that their update server tends to be awfully slow, nearly every time. I love the P-D.III! My favorite of all time in RoF.

Salute! Congratulations!

Yes, 190Fs and Gs, please!

Congratulations on your accomplishments, gents!

I disabled it on my desktop due to a recommendation I read somewhere and the fact I'd rather control the settings, myself. Stay out of my computer, Bill!

You have to be careful with your settings in some games. I did a lot of trial and error with DCS and putting certain settings to High from Medium actually took the load off of the CPU and put it on the GPU, making the game run smoother. Counterintuitive, really. I recommend bringing up your task manager (on a second screen if you can) and go through one setting at a time, applying and reevaluating. You’re looking to keep your CPU around 80-95% and your GPU as high as it can go. Whenever you’re hitting 100% on the CPU, it’s bottlenecking and slowing some process down. Yes, it takes a long time. Yes, it is totally worth it.

Thanks to those recruits that elect to be inducted into all three squadrons at once, this song pops into my head: I once saw an off-Broadway performance of Cabaret with an amazing actor playing "Emcee". His performance rivaled Joel Grey, in my opinion.

Security is probably the number one reason.

haha!

Luft is correct.

I used to play BF2142 in a competitive ladder team, called RAGE. It was my first competitive FPS, I preferred the medic role.
