Hello all,

Some incredible home sims here and I am very impressed with the quality and detail of everyone's efforts!

I started my project in December of 2020 and finished in December of 2021. I was getting very frustrated not being able to rent/fly and keep current so this project came to be. I haven't added up the costs and I'm not sure I want to but here are the specs...

X-Plane 11 on Windows 10 with Pilotedge
3 X Best Buy Sharp 55" LCD TVs
Logitech G Saiteck Yoke, Lever Quadrant, Rudder Pedals (3D Printed replacement Cessna pedals)

Desktop
MSI Z590 MB
32 GB GSkill Ram
Samsung 870QVo 2TB SSD
I7-10700K 3.80 GHZ CPU
MSI Radeon RX6800XT GPU
Propwash TXPDR, 2 X VHF Nav/Comm's, ADF, Autopilot
Desktop Aviator Trim, Start Panel (moded key spring back, Flap Lever, Fuel Selector
GPS, Audio Select Panel (Essentially home built)
4 X Arduino Megas
1 X BBI-32 Interface
Pyle PFA200 Amplifier

Looks great! Do you experience any stutters or tearing with those TV screens?

Thanks! Not too much stuttering or tearing at all. If all the detail and terrain is turned up to Max then the framerate does drop off on the side monitors at lower altitudes. For example in the Los Angeles basin on it gets bad if "Number of World Objects" is above High and Weather (clouds) are selected.

What speed are you running your processor at? You should be able to get an all core 5 to 5.2 ghz, maybe slightly more.
