    A 3070 should be plenty to run DCS in full resoultion. It seems like maybe your settings need to be tweaked. I have a 3090 and run DCS full resolution with a Pimax Crystal, I get about 60fps in single player at 120hz In multiplayer, I get about 40 FPS depending on what map and how much is going on, and my settings make everything look gorgeous. I'm also running with a Ryzen 770X, 64GB Ram, 1TB NVME drive. Nice rig, my man! Welcome to sim paradise!

    I got a cheap pilot's helmet from a costume store a few sizes too big, but fits perfectly with my Quest 3 underneath, if the helmet is too big fitting a vr headset is no problem

    • @MikeBarnett

      I did order this as a large but it come from China so it is like a medium actually. Oh well. Would love to see yours. I'm on Instagram mike.barnett.official

    Looks like a legit TIR5 cam to me. Even the stepped rubber feet on the bracket. Must be Naturalpoint.

    • @MikeBarnett

      It looks just like them. Even the red pcb on the back

    If you want realism I ask myself why you didn't go VR. All the money you spent on equipment would pay for a good VR.

    I run a 2080ti GPU 8700kCPU in DCS in VR G2 and its freaking awesome...butter smooth and crystal clear, only time it struggles a bit is in some MP servers

    • @MikeBarnett

      I think its my vr headset giving me issues. glad your having fun with it. thanks for watching

    @vampolascott36 15 днів тому +2

    Very nice! I couldn't justify a sim pit for myself, let alone trying to convince someone else that it's a good idea lol. VR is a must for me though, and the Pimax Crystal is the BOMB in DCS. VR has had more impact than anything else for me. If it breaks, I'll be bummed out.

    • @MikeBarnett
      @MikeBarnett  8 днів тому +2

      Lol i know that feeling i kinda just did it and didn’t ask lol. yeah wish i could get my vr working

  • @simwingscanada6246

    awesome..! add some motion at least 3DOF

    • @MikeBarnett
      @MikeBarnett  22 дні тому

      I think that will be the next thing I do. Thanks for watching and any other ideas are always welcome 🙏

  • @simwingscanada6246
    @simwingscanada6246 22 дні тому

    You are going to have re- build the sim on a contained assemble, which your seem to have already. That way when you decide to build the motion platform you can just attach it to the platform. That's the next phase if you decide for motion. In the meantime enjoy your amazing rig, flying is so enjoyable. You got a SIM now, not a game now.

    • @MikeBarnett

      Thank you I'm sure it will go that way. Many hours of fun to come. Thanks for watching

    @7:15 Is there more of these frames on ebay, or was it a one time auction or something? Would appreciate a link if have one. I have a GT Omega Prime but this looks ideal for me for this and I'd then consider reverting that Prime to racing setup

    • @midnight7297
      @midnight7297 22 дні тому +1

      aah I can see the front half for about 130 but not as a bundle below 200 that comes with the seat mount part of the frame

    • @MikeBarnett
      @MikeBarnett  22 дні тому

    Nice. I have that same little keyboard. I went with a ball mouse, so I could keep it in one place. I would like to welcome you to your thousands of dollars hobby, lol. Once I saw your real ejection seat, I know for a fact you will have a full cockpit. Soon you will be adding to it. I already see you with an extension for the Warthog, Thrustmaster TPR pedals, and a VR headset. Where did you buy the ejection seat?

    I recently got an RTX4070Ti Super from scan for about £800 and it runs VR great, has 16gb vram to handle the high res textures. Not sure what your budget is for pc upgrade but I really recommend it

    • @MikeBarnett

      I need to get another ASAP. What vr you using

      Im still not sure what way to go with it. Im having trouble with my vr

    With a helmet, you can really overdo it. I don't know if you don't feel stupid playing DCS in your apartment with a helmet on! That shows that a lot of people are really idiots!

    • @MikeBarnett
      @MikeBarnett  22 дні тому +5

      Naa, not at all spent years in the military wearing a soggy wet one so anything dry is a bonus lol... also been a military flight helmet collector since I was 7 so for me that's part of the fun. I don't sit in imagining I'm driving a bus I want it to feel as real and immersive as possible. I like it 👌 thanks for 👀
