I got BigBeast II going again this morning, and it has updated to the latest Win10. Apparently the machine does not have what it needs to upgrade to Win 11 (huzzah!!). MS do have a webpage about fixing this reboot loop thing, and I had tried that without success. Last night I tried one last time - power off, unplug, hold the power button down to drain any residual current, then remove the CMOS battery. They say for 30 mins, I left it out all night, and also used a multimeter to check that the battery voltage was well up to the 3.0v mark. It was, so this morn I put the thing back together and...

I thought that I might extend my system life by doing a small upgrade. I replaced the dead Titan with a 1080TI card but of course the bottleneck now (and always has been I guess) is the 4770K CPU. I have looked at a i5-9700K Coffee lake CPU as it uses the same LGA 1151 socket, which I thought I could pick up relatively cheaply being an obsolete CPU. I was blown away to see that they are way more expensive than the Alder lake CPUs! Very disappointing indeed. It looks like my mini upgrade (Graphic card, CPU and RAM) may set me back a shade under $2K. It is tempting to leap into a full new...

Thanks Michael, I will check that out. I've been away from sim for so long it is all new to me again! I did get REX WeatherForce and that seems to work ok - the builtin live weather simply wasn't working for me, and I read some work arounds but REX has always been solid, so went with that again. Cheers

Pedals gone. New pedals ordered - I *really* wanted the Crosswind pedals, but I did the maths and the difference between those and the Saitek are worth 3.6hrs real life flying - so I'm going Saitek again! Rather be in the sky those extra hours. Those Crosswinds do look bloody nice tho... :)

Finally got this sorted; for future reference; I installed the US voice pack and set the region/locale to US - did both at the same time, so not sure which one fixed, though I suspect the voice pack.

Wow, thanks a lot for the amazingly informative response! The ultrawide monitor would be amazing to use, however it seems that, while an XBox can drive it, it will only display a 16:9 image, with black bars at the edges. It looks like my two options are still either a projector or very large flatscreen TV. I'll have to try and get the 'immersion' factor through the display's size alone.

I've read a lot of reports about the G2 being superb but a few days or weeks later just failing to get recognised and thus no longer usable and HP completely ignoring the issue. I haven't determined whether this is a 'few' users making a lot of noise, or a more widespread issue. But, like you, I had tried VR before and the resolution just wasn't there for VR flying, and I also got nausea too. But it is my plan to go VR next and I rather suspect I'll need a new PC, at the very least a new graphics card (currently 1 1080 I think - can't remember; PC is all boxed up while I move house). Glad you...

Thanks Rob. I have seen the specs, but as we know with these things, real life application can be a different story. I have a 30 Mbs plan (rural) with about a 5 to 10 Mbs up speed. Depending on local usage it can drop to 10 Mbs down or so at times. I'm just wondering how this would appear performance wise. Does MSFS limit the streamed resolution on the fly for example?

Fair enough, the more I looked the more people said things along those lines. I used to only fly tubeliners so I never bothered with addon scenery, now that I'm flapping around at treetop level though it's become a thing, with an unexpected learning curve :)
