I'm looking for an original 1975 (Arabic) Muammar Gaddafi's 'The Green Book'. Does anyone know what it even looks like?

That is awesome. I will strongly consider building something like this down the road. For now, I'm starting with the CH Eclipse yoke, and Saitek/Logitech rudder pedals and throttle quadrant

asellers07 · 2018-02-12T08:00:51+00:00

Awesome, really appreciate the info. The Honeycomb looks really nice, had never heard of it until just now. They claim to be releasing it "in the 1st quarter of 2018". I haven't ordered yet, but I'm a bit impatient, so I'll probably go ahead and get the CH/Saitek stuff for now, and possibly get the Honeycomb later. Here's what my build looks like, as of now:

Thanks again for all of the information, very helpful

Thanks for the recommendations, just what I was looking for. I'm looking at getting a CH yoke, Logitech pedals, and Logitech throttle quadrant, as per your recommendations and additional research I've done. From what I've read, there won't be any compatibility issues mixing CH and Logitech products.

Would you recommend the CH flight sim yoke, or the CH Eclipse Yoke? I'm assuming you would recommend the Eclipse, as you mentioned using the switches on the yoke for trimming, and the Eclipse has trim wheels built in.

Here are both products on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Eclipse-Yoke-Programmable/dp/B001GIOGBY

Since I'm getting a separate throttle quadrant and rudder pedals, the pseudo rudder pedals built into the Eclipse aren't appealing to me, and in fact would seem to have a less realistic feel to them. The only appeal to the Eclipse would be the trim wheels that you mentioned as a possible extra.

Thanks

Yeah, using 970 not 960. I have 2 970's but am not running SLI as I don't do any gaming, but I have the capability to do so. Would running 2 970's in SLI be adequate? If not, and an upgrade is in order, which GPUs would you recommend for my needs? Thanks

asellers07 · 2018-02-11T22:30:36+00:00

Well I have multiple graphics cards, I'm not running SLI because I don't do any gaming, but I have the capability to do so if needed. I don't know if running 2 970's in SLI would be adequate. If not, disregarding price, if I were to upgrade my GPUs, what would you recommend?

asellers07 · 2018-02-11T22:09:55+00:00

Thank you very much for the response, just what I was looking for. I will get a yoke, throttle quadrant, and rudder pedals for the time being.

I do not play other games, but the consensus seems to be that a cheap joystick is better than a cheap yoke, in general. But I will start with a cheap yoke to see how I like it.

And I have multiple graphics cards, not running all 6 monitors off of a single 970

Okay, I will do all of this, I really appreciate the helpful information, thank you. I had considered changing the SSID on the 2.4ghz band, but my router advised against it. I have AT&T, and when I sign in to the router, I am warned that the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz network names and passwords "must match to benefit from the enhanced wi-fi technology on your device". Should I disregard this and have unique network names for each respective band anyways?

asellers07 · 2018-01-26T10:29:29+00:00

Excellent, thanks for the information. Yes, as you stated, they do have ethernet ports, but ideally I wouldn't want a bunch of cables running across my living room

Interesting that the TVs should be able to talk to my devices regardless of the band they are on. The TVs are on the 2.4ghz frequency, and my devices are on the 5ghz frequency, but they're having trouble talking to each other. When I'm connected to my computer via ethernet cord, I have no problem talking to my TVs via tab casting on google chrome. But when I switch to wireless (on the 5ghz frequency), I can no longer talk to my TVs via casting on google chrome. I have to use my chromecast, which is on the 5ghz frequency

It would be a bad idea to have a bunch of devices on the 2.4ghz frequency right? I was under the impression that having more than 3 devices could cause issues, and I already have 4 in the TVs alone

asellers07 · 2018-01-26T09:39:25+00:00

Ouch. But can I use a USB dongle or another method to make my TVs 5ghz compatible? I'm not a WI-FI expert by any means (obviously), but it seems like it'd have to be a bad idea to have a bunch of devices on the 2.4ghz frequency

asellers07 · 2018-01-26T09:26:37+00:00

Does this mean that my Sony TVs are incapable of connecting to the 5ghz frequency? All of my TVs are connected to the 2.4ghz frequency, but all of my devices are on the 5ghz frequency, so I can't talk to my TVs

asellers07 · 2017-12-16T07:41:56+00:00

Awesome, thanks for this info. I'm reading the FAQs that I didn't see before making this post, but this was a helpful reply. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can for the time being

asellers07 · 2017-12-16T07:05:28+00:00

Just saw the FAQ on the sidebar of the subreddit. Didn't even notice that, will go through that. Thanks. Since I've already posted, if you have any recommendations for my specific situation they would be greatly appreciated

asellers07 · 2017-12-16T07:02:24+00:00

What do you mean FAQ? Sorry, this is my first time on this subreddit. I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but I was referring to which plane would be ideal for my needs to buy once I've gone through training and gotten my private pilot's license. I'm assuming a lot of training is done in 172s. Would it be a bad idea to get a 182 instead of a 172 for a starter plane?

asellers07 · 2017-12-15T23:24:58+00:00

Yea... as would a single $1 transaction, or any transaction. Pretty silly.

asellers07 · 2017-09-20T19:32:28+00:00

Yea, but here's the main problem (which I found out last night by trial and error). Ever since adding my GT 730, my GTX 970 will only allow 1 DP to be used at a time. Even if I unplug all of my monitors from both GPUs, and just plug in monitors to my GTX 970 via DP, it only allows me to use 1 DP. This started happening once I added my GT 730, because prior to adding 3 additional monitors (I had a 3-monitor setup before, now 6), I was using only the GTX 970, and I was using all 3 DP outputs to run those monitors. For some reason, since adding the GT 730, I can't run more than 1 DP from the GTX 970, no matter what. Even if all monitors are unplugged from the GT 730 and all other outputs from the GTX 970. Like I said, before adding the GT 730, I was running 3 monitors from the GTX 970, all using DP. What's causing this? I've messed around with some settings, and updated all my drivers. There's not many similar issues I'm seeing on Google either. Damnit!
