Black Friday plus the Dell factory outlet = Alienware R11 on my doorstep in three days.
No willpower here.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
It sure looks really neat. My antique 8-year old PC isn't going to cut it though.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a new PC... until I got the black friday deal from the track group I like to drive with. So I will need to wait for after-Christmas sales to play MS Flight Sim.

Since we're making bad decisions about hardware - I'm going to pick one of these up and lash it up to one of my retired fleet XPS 15's to see what kind of gaming performance I can get out of it.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
I need more FPS for my FPS. The struggle is real...laggy, and it drops many frames.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Also, it’s kind of a dick move for Dell to refer to the current-gen Alienware Aurora with the second-best i9 they sell as a “base unit.”

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
The community aircraft models are starting to trickle in for the new version, which is cool. Of course, I went full retard and started by downloading the Millennium Falcon, which was a truly AWFUL model except that Chewie roars when you crash.
I also downloaded an SR-71 model, but the throttles won't push past military power. SR-71 model with no afterburners and no mach diamonds poking out the flamey end: you're dead to me.

Sweet!
Is there a model of my last airplane yet?

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Not sure. I've been waiting for the Alienware to show up. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't; Dell cleverly shipped it Fedex Home to my commercial address...so now it's all f**ked up.
I'll be moping until it gets here.
