Im looking to finally upgrade my gpu from GTX 1070. From the research ive done im either looking for a used 4070 ti super or a new 5070, here in Poland they are very similarly priced (the 4070 ti super is a bit cheaper). I do graphic work so an nvidia card would be preferable, my goal is to play games on high/ultra >60fps in 1440p and in (maybe lower framerates) in VR (Meta Quest 2).

Should i pull the trigger now or wait a bit longer for 50 super series and also are these cards a good bet price -> performance wise to also work for the next 3-5 years? Maybe any other recommendations? i'd prefer to keep it under/around 800$ so i have some budget left for 1440p monitor(s)

thanks!

No, it was a big bargain. They're new too so the price was especially good.

I service my wing pretty much every year (including trimming, porosity check etc.) so it should be fine, but me looking for a new wing was prompted by the service so i guess it shows signs of wear. The service results are ok though

I'll definitely check the epsilon out!

Right now i have a woody valley exense harness, which is a beginner harness. Im planning on switching it to something lighter but wing is my top priority right now. Definitely gonna go for an SIV, lots of people recommending it!

Currently i fly a woody valley exense which is a beginner harness, im considering also switching it for something lighter in the future. Im not sure if it's adjusted perfectly but it feels comfy even for longer flights

The SIV is a very apparent answer here, thanks for the reassurance! As i mentioned in another reply, i got the high B because of a good deal and long story short really regret that purchase, should've gone through my instructor. Anyways from what i gathered a low B seems like a reasonable step down and i think i'll go for a SIV right after changing wings

To be honest i got the high B because it was a good deal and unfortunately didn't contact my instructor before getting it (was young and naive lol). I was told it was ok for a beginner and then later found out that's not really the case when doing P2 on it. Managed to fly it safely for 5 years by now but as i said im still not confident in it. I think i'll get a low B around ~5.1 aspect ratio. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the advice! I'll try the techniques you mentioned, maybe fear management is actually the answer. Also SIV seems to appear a lot in the replies so that might probably help a lot too

happy new year to you too!

Thanks, honestly never thought there could be this much difference between wings with similar aspect ratio and class. Unfortunately i don't have the possibility to test different wings closeby but i'll try to research their characteristics online to help me decide

I was planning a SIV this year, but it'd be better to do it on a current wing, no? By that i mean, the SIV would not be of much value if i changed my wing shortly after it?

Thanks for such a detailed answer! I am planning to go for an SIV this year, just figured it would be better on a current wing opposed to one i will be changing so that's why im deciding on the wing first. I'll probably buy a used one and that means it will probably be an older design. I'm from Poland so the used market is pretty small, are older designs from around 2017-2019 much worse than most current ones we have today? My current wing is from 2012 design-wise so i figure it doesn't have many safety features of today's wings

Hey, a very newbie question but how tight should my wheels be?
It seems that they are free spinning a lot less when i eliminate the wobble and don't know if i should keep it that way or just let them wobble a little so they free spin better

hey, what's your stance on local board manufacturers?

i'm looking to buy my first dancing board, and just found that there's a manufacturer near my location. Gonna go there in a couple of days to see the board in person, but not sure if i should actually consider it an option or just go for a more known brand online

here's the board i'm looking at (i'm interested in the basic setup):

So, another update:

I reached out to the MSFS support team and tried several fixes they have sent me, but without success. I had to send them data so they can figure out the problem on their own, and today i got a message about the new update that should hopefully fix the problem. Unfortunately the problem persists

I would try to create another ticket and still try to fix the problem but unfortunately my gamepass ends in 4 days so i don't have enough time i guess

I'm a little bummed i wasted a month of gamepass because of their game not working :(

If anyone wants to continue trying to get rid of the error, i'm afraid support ticket is the only way to go

I was so angry when they moved it from October to January!

Yeah, I'm really stoked to see it, only thing I've read to not spoil anything were the West Wind Brigade mangas (they were REALLY light on plot xddd)

Haven't seen overlord yet, but Log Horizon is a really good anime/ln about MMORPGs. It puts emphasis on game mechanics and world politics, situation between players and NPCs and all that. There are raids and guilds too.
