In many respects if is always about balancing expectations with the reality of cost and that is why I believe that we all desire to have the best system that we are able to afford to meet those expectations. So perhaps, the question that Derek asked is a valid question, but somewhat irrelevant if one is happy with their particular system . As much as we all wish for the next greatest technology to solve our problems, my own experience is that some things get dealt with, while other issues develop to take their place.īut I suspect that both of us are very happy with how our individual systems perform and as long as we can enjoy our hobby to the fullest extent under those circumstances, isn't that the best answer one can give. However getting a balance between computational performance and rendering performance may be a never ending journey for many of us. In truth, what I believe we all desire is the best performance from a completely balanced system that we can afford. My system is less powerful, certainly on the gpu side and I restrict my frame rate and my observation is based upon that. You have a very powerful multicore CPU, coupled with a current level state of the art GPU with a PCIE4 connection and what you see for your particular hardware configuration and desired mode of operation is a completely fair observation. I think in many respects both of us are correct and perhaps the best answer is it depends on our personal performance expectations for particular hardware, resolution, desired frame rate, internet speed, server latencies etc. I have rtx3090 and if I turn dev mode on, it constantly shows that I’m restricted by CPU. If I have to stay inside Pandemic wise just now, then at least I can enjoy my Flight sim hobby as best I can. a lot of money and way over the odds, but what can you do? I'd sold off two sets of Saitek Rudder pedals gathering dust I'd almost forgotten about, so for me, it was fine.Īnxious wait, but guy was decent and posted next day delivery and it was indeed a brand new unopened Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quad, am absolutely delighted with it, its actually much better than I thought it would be according to video reviews I'd watched, all set here now, good rig, good gear ETC. when I looked at screen again I had won, Yay. but these are not normal times and it looked like one last Bravo was on UK Ebay, set myself a limit of £500 and was winning and just like my CPU and GPU times for build was hammering my F5 key, with about a minute to go was outbid but had already set a new limit and had prepped in £520 all ready to enter, F5ing still and at 10 seconds hit the enter key closed my eyes and kept my fingers crossed and held my breath. they should cost about £270 ish in UK if times were more normal. in each case it looked like an entrepreneur had bought a few and circumvented the measures somehow for profiteers and they were selling on Ebay UK like hot cakes for a bit. Oh my gosh, they were selling well, bidded on a few that topped out at about £480 ish. so fair play and you know what, with money I had set aside for original Honeycomb Bravo throttle and profit made on those Ebay wins, set about looking for the Honeycomb Bravo on Ebay as well. I'm not a greedy person, but WOW what they both sold for, each more than when they were brand new, easily, had looked after them, original boxes ETC. not only are new high end CPU and GPU's hard to find and need to pay over the odds, but flight sim controller hardware too, seen this confirmed on several forums where new to FS2020 folk were desperately looking for suitable FS hardware to fly the sim, we all found it hard to find! Had a couple of old Saitek Rudder pedals here and thought now would be a good time to sell I suppose, so on to Ebay they went. The Pandemic has taken a terrible toll on factory production all over the world for just about everything and that's totally understandable.

ordered from a German dealer on Amazon, same place/dealer I ordered my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke from, they were and still are in hot demand I suppose and we cant blame the Miners for this I guess Owned the Honeycomb Yoke for some time now, used it and tested it but set it aside when I learned they were producing a Bravo Throttle Quadrant too.Īs the Bravo throttle quads became available for the first batch felt sure I would be in there, but no.
