PMDG 747-400 Glideslope question

[trisho]

Hello Captain Kevin, the glideslope worked, and I was able to land manually. I think my question about glideslope is resolved.

Do you mean to fly the approach a half dot high of PAPI lights? If so, I look at PAPI, 2-lights On and 2-lights Off.

I have the Alienware R8 and I was intended to start an upgrade with AW R15. Today I was in touch with https://jetlinesystems.com/ and found an Option...

After reading the comments in this thread It seems that I better stay with Option 1 and forget about Option 2. It doesn't make sense to upgrade yet. I...

I'm not electronic but I understand something about that. If the CPU and GPU demand power, I understand that a large PSU alleviates the heat dissipation....

[trisho]

OK, I can revert the PSU 1.35W selection to 750 W and only saving $20? Later, I want to replace the video card demanding more PSU. It will late.

I think a PC (any) runs the CPU cooler with higher PSU and added FAN helps the video card cooler too.

I am intended to keep the selected PSU and when the video card drops the price in forty more years (lol) my plan is to swap. Also, the PSU 1.35 KW price...

I built online that Option 2 configuration in order to save something. Regarding on PSU, I choose the very best available, indeed. I think the Option...

The only reason of selecting the PC is for PMDG and Flight Simulators before anything else. Thanks for your comments.

Just visited Jetline Systems and I found no difference with Alienware except the price a bit more convenience. Since I had Dell machines for over than...

Hello my friend Captain Kevin, just posted more details about my question. Does it matter the CPU Base speed for flight simulators? I assume the CPU Base...

[trisho]

I think this will clear more before decisions are made.

OPTION 1:

9th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i7 9700KF (8-Core, 12MB Cache,...

[trisho]

So, Option 2 has faster CPU than Option 1 even considering the Base speed in question, right? MSFS will run better with Option 2, correct?
