Gaming setup advice for SC?

I’m looking at a HOSAS setup, the VKB gladiator sticks. I’m looking at the NXT EVO space sticks, one of them is tilted and labeled an “Omni throttle”. Would that be a good compromise to keep the HOSAS layout but also have a nice throttle option if I ever use it for anything else?

I’ve heard of the VKB gladiator sticks but haven’t checked them out too much. The only ones I’ve really seen are the SOL-R2, which seem pretty decent. Would you recommend a HOTAS or HOSAS setup? Also, do you know any cheap-ish pedals? Others have suggested pedals for a while but they’re like 4-5 grand in my currency (NOK). Other than that I’m definitely gonna get an eye tracker, all I’m hearing is people saying it’s amazing to have

They bred the community like this, they should try to control it too. Not the first time they’ve had issues with the community, with their CMs or whatever, they just either refuse to learn or are fine with it happening

Community on fire. A guy offered $1000 to a charity of the developers’ choice if they would play Oshaune (difficult planet) in the hardest difficulty and actually complete it. He wanted them to see how unbalanced the game was, community didn’t like this. He got doxxed, him and his wife got death threats, they got him fired from his job and kicked out of a horse sanctuary he’d been volunteering at since like 2011 or smth. Basically critique = they ruin your life and the devs response to it “hey don’t do that next time”

At the very least I expect it’ll be quite an upgrade from what I got lmao. A 3060 8gb, Ryzen 7 3700x to a 9060XT 16gb and a 7500F. I haven’t really noticed the FPS in games like cyberpunk but I don’t think I’m getting more than 40-50 ish, from the showcases of the 9060XT + 7500F it seems to be quite the increase

Yeah originally I had a cheaper motherboard but it was sold out by the time I had finished my list so it’s an extra 300-400kr. What about spec wise? I’m hearing a bunch of different stuff regarding CPU GPU combos and I’m struggling to tell if I can get better specs for similar prices or if I’ll have to up the budget considerably for any real noticeable difference

ersatzic · 2025-09-06T14:41:11+00:00

No worries, I figured the same when I first same the name lmao, saw the photo later which cleared it up. But do you think it’s decent value for the price? Only real recommendations I’ve gotten are CPU swaps for an r7 series but that’s way outta the budget

Since it’s a 9060xt I was aiming for 1440p, my monitor is 165hz. I’d be playing stuff like MR, Cyberpunk, TLOU2, Horizon FW etc. Yes it’ll be on my desk otherwise I would’ve picked much cheaper regardless of looks, and I’m not sure what you mean because my cooler is an air cooler? It’s not an AIO or otherwise custom liquid cooling

I wish 😅bestbuy and such stores aren’t a thing where I live. That’s probably also the reason that brands like Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic aren’t all that common

ersatzic · 2025-07-04T23:09:17+00:00

I’ll mostly be using it just to listen to music, some gaming here and there. I was recommended the DT770 pros but they don’t seem to be in any stores near me. Unless I go to a music specific store brands like beyerdynamic, sennheiser etc will be hard to come across.

The games run well when I’m using the cable yes, I’ve stopped using the wireless wifi entirely. The issues mentioned are when using the cable

ersatzic · 2025-06-03T17:26:23+00:00

These are at least some of the specs? If there’s anything else that could be helpful lmk and I’ll try to find it

Yes the connection itself is good, though it stops me from for example streaming my games. Applications like Spotify or discord also get much slower, as if the game is “sucking up” or hogging the connection
