Quick update from the frontlines, 4.36
-
<p>You are the ultimate, the one and only made the Falcon Sim engine alive. a million thanks.</p>
-
<p>@justonce01 We are already using this technology. You will hear the first results in 4.36.<br /><br />Cheers<br /></p>
-
<p>Thank you guys for everything! Do you think, maybe on this version or a future one it will be possible to use our touch screen monitors in the game? I mean looking at a switch or button or dial and tap on your touch screen monitor on that switch to use it? <br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>@repvez no it is not. I know about Helios. What I asked about is to pan around the 3d cockpit and use my touch screen monitor to interact with buttons switches and dials.</p>

<p>Hi, I would like to know the computer configuration requirements of 4.36 and 4.37.</p>

<blockquote>Hi, I would like to know the computer configuration requirements of 4.36 and 4.37.</blockquote><p>4.36 - same as 4.35<br /><br />4.37:<br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/OUaQBJb.gif” /><br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>i would like to know lol<br /><br /><br />by the way have you noticed the extraordinary high prices of GPUS? its insane some years ago 1000 euros was the top price of the regular gaming gpus , now 3000 is the top , i am talking to those of you that you noticed the difference the rest i dont care<br /><br /></p>

<p>with some ppl that i have tallked they say that crypto farmers are responsible i dont know about you but this is insane its not OK<br />something is very wrong</p>

<p>If people could stop posting random unrelated stuff on this thread that would be nice. Everytime I see there is something unread here, I get excited. Just to see another completely random post that has NOTHING to do with 4.36. THANKS.</p>
-
<p>@Kiwi <br />+1 <br />OTOH knowing at least estimated hardware specs recommendation for 4.37 and onward would be nice. So one can be prepared in advance. This year finally might be good one to buy new stuff.</p>

<p>Yeah, this thread won’t be the announcement thread, so following it for the news of the release isn’t good.<br /><br />I would think for hardware recommendations, if you already have a decent CPU, sometime within the estimated year it will take, buy a current or next generation GPU and you should be fine. Maybe a previous generation might work(i.e. RTX20x0) but it seems like 4.37 is going to be the big graphics update and as GPU prices come back down you can get a lot of value and performance out of the current/next generation.<br /><br /><br /></p>

I can tell you this:<br />CPU - It’s mostly the same as now, you need a good/decent CPU, but not must have something crazy.<br />RAM - I suggest aiming for at least 16GB and if you can get 32, better. It’s really cheap these days so shouldn’t be a big deal.<br /><br />GPU: As HW advances, we become more and more depending on pixels. So while there are other considerations, it’s pixel digesting that will dictate the minimum frame-rate most of time. Hence my recommendations:<br />FHD res - Something like a GTX-1060, GTX-1660 should be good enough.<br />2K res - I’m running here 2K res on a GTX-1080 and it’s OK. There could be some bottlenecks at some cases but mostly fine.<br />4K - I suggest a minimum RTX-2080 for 4K res.<br />VR (When will come to BMS) - Grab the best you can. I don’t yet have any performance experience with VR but I believe one should aim for the best GPU he can put his hands on.<br /><br />BTW, regarding mining - If you can, buy an expensive GPU and let it mine when not used. This way you can cover the cost in ~2-3 years. But that also depends on Electricity costs. Here in Israel mining is still profitable (Electricity cost will be ~25% of earnings, so still worth it). Prices suck so maybe this can be a solution. I might soon go for a RTX-3090 because of that.</p>

<p>I don’t care if the PC specs will be higher or high, but it would be nice if the new graphics engine use more GPU and more CPU core in once time. Or if it can handle the newer features like the PBR, ambient occlusion, displace maps, tesselate etc. or would be add to it later on easily.</p>

<p>@repvez More GPU yes… 100% all the time :)<br /><br />Regarding techniques, yes it’ll be better. DX11 is a reality and so all that’s left is take advantage of its features.</p>

<p>@repvez Well, let us first release 4.37, actually let us first release 4.36 ;)</p>
