I want to start CS simming again but am at a quandry what hardware and software to use. I previously was using FSX and the CS 700 series aircraft plus a C130 but found that my system was too old/not up to the task. (see dxdiag.txt). The graphics kept crashing and corrupting. I am looking to purchase a new gaming PC which will be specced to the mid to high end of the CS777 requirements but the switch away from FSX to PD3 has me floundering. I am not particularly PC savvy, but can edit files, with guidance, and am certainly not a developer or acamdemic. Where do you start with PD3? I have no desire to spend a fortune on licenses apart from that required to enjoy simming? Any advice please?
