I know this is a weird post to ask this on, but what kind of gear do you need to run fight simulator?
Need? Actually not too bad. I used to fly with a 1660ti with no real issues and a cheapo X52 HOTAS. Heck you don't even need a joystick you can fly with Kb and mouse if you want.
But now, I'm using a velocity one HOTAS with a trackIR head tracking and an AMD 6750 so I can run in 4k and it's absolutely beautiful and super immersive.
I think it's fine, there's hardly any posts currently.
I have a 5800X3D, 3090, and 32GB of RAM which gets me 40-50 fps with the game at 4K with ultra settings and downscaled to 1440p on a Gsync monitor. I run FSLTL for traffic, and sometimes it'll get down to 30 fps at a busy airport. It's a heavy game for sure, but 30 fps is actually fairly tolerable as long as it's consistent.
All good as far as picking a post goes for your question; it's early days and we all have simple questions we could use answers to!
