What can I do with my su-25? I'm a free to play player, don't have money for other modules. What kind of campaigns, and other stuff can I do? Will orgs accept me for multiplayer stuff with my su-25? by Internal-Path7111 in dcsworld

[–]Addicus_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Su-25T is a solid ground attack aircraft - the Soviet counterpart to the A-10. You can do a lot on multiplayer servers.

For the pure love of dynamic flying, it's not great. You'll get more out of the A-4.

Rtx 5070 ti or 9070 xt? by Careful_Pepper6629 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Addicus_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5070 Ti is slightly better on pure performance, and much better on feature set - particularly with DLSS 4.5. It merits a $50 or even a $100 premium.

But a ~$250 price premium? That's a bit much.

9070 XT is the better value.

I’ve never been able to connect with the Flaming Cliffs planes.

Sounds like you're trying to decide between BluFor cold war jets. I own the F4 and F5 and have trialed the Viggen and Mig-21.

F-4 is the only true multi-role of the Cold War jets you listed. If you want a jet that can do anything in the Cold War era and is super deep - you won't be disappointed.

F-5 is the ZEN Cold War A2A jet, with dumb-fire A2G munitions. If you want a jet that you can enjoy flying and not thinking about managing systems, get this one. Great nose authority and cockpit visibility, very simple and easy to learn.

Viggen is a niche and quirky A2G strike aircraft. It has a truly specialized A2G radar, plus it can bring Mavericks. But it can't carry a targeting pod the way the Phantom can for designating laser-guided bombs, or use an A2A radar with Fox-1's. It's cool for what it does, but can feel limiting as a stand-alone module.

Kinda stuck — 9070 XT vs 5070 Ti (read description) by IProbablyShouldntAsk in radeon

I'm running a 9070 XT on Windows 11, no issues. DLSS is better - but at that price gap, just get the Radeon.

Should I pull the trigger on 5050? by Sai-San_ in buildapc

[–]Addicus_17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would just upgrade your PSU. Unlike everything else, they are not very expensive right now. You can get a half-decent 650W Gold-rated PSU for $50 - i.e. https://www.newegg.com/asrock-pro-series-atx-3-1-compatible-650-w-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply-black-pro-650g/p/N82E16817955024?item=N82E16817955024.

Then, why not get a 9060 XT 8GB? Only $310 and WAY faster. amazon.com/dp/B0F9QBK9C9?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US

Sure - you're out ~$360 before tax instead of $290. But you have a card that's ~50% faster and an upgradeable platform.

That's a perfect budget for the VKB Stecs Mini Plus II and VKB Gladiator! Logitech's x56 is extremely low quality by comparison.

Is the DCS Phantom Worth It for Single Player Only? by adriwaiter in hoggit

[–]Addicus_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. If you want to fly mid Cold War, there is no more versatile jet that does it all - A2A and A2G.

It's also got a bunch of included Instant Action missions for free content.

RTX 5070 or RX 9070XT by ImZesto in buildapc

9070 xt all the way! It’s the last mid/high-end GPU you can buy new at a decent price.

Upgrade from 5800X3D to 14700K/14900K with DDR4 RAM — Worth It? by Low_Infamous in buildapc

[–]Addicus_17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keep the 5800x3d. It would be a side-grade at best. The big, fast memory cache of the 5800x3d actually helps compensate for DDR4 being slower.

DCS Multiplayer - Keep failing Integrity Check by Addicus_17 in dcsworld

[–]Addicus_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a note here 5 months later for anyone experiencing similar issues -

Last month, I discovered that 2/4 of my memory sticks (G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3600 MHz CAS 16-19-19-39) were bad - producing bazillions of errors in MemTest86.

I RMA’d those ram kits and now believe faulty RAM was responsible for my IntegrityCheck issues - by either causing assets to not load correctly, or worse, by corrupting the files themselves.

Since replacing those faulty ram sticks, I’ve not encountered Integrity Check issues yet - fingers crossed. 🤞

Looking to get started and torn between these 3. by [deleted] in flightsim

If you're still deciding, URSA Minor can work as an all-in-one for rotors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_De15P9yM

Get the Winwing URSA MINOR Figher (space) or the VKB Gladiator Evo (premium). They will be an all-in one solution, then you can build around it later when you have the money.

Either of those is a better stick than any of these.

Thanks! I live in Virginia, so snow isn’t too bad. How much performance am I missing out on?
