In terms of simulator progress - not much enters the conversation.
In terms of allowing the simulator to be made, Mount Everest was relocated to the moon.
For the past 8 months I've been dreaming of having a battlestation computer that would allow me to make videos without a small part of my soul wilting.
From the beginning of time, I used an 8-year-old laptop. It allowed me to stitch clips together, but I soon outgrew its capabilities.
Recently I got a newer laptop that ran my editing program fairly smoothly-though it only had 200GB of storage- comfortable for normal people. But I'm not normal
Each video takes ~50GB of of footage and up to 150GB optimized media (especially helpful on slower systems). Add 100GB flight sim to the mix, and space is eaten really quickly (here's where external hard drives shine!)
With the new computer, I have 500GB SSD (Solid State Drive-Fast), which gives me space for FS2020, FSX, X-Plane 11, my editor and 1-2 projects. I have a 3 TB HDD (Hard Disk Drive-Slower) to put completed projects, and any files I don't need immediate access to.
I can now edit extremely quickly. Previously I'd wait 3-7 seconds between each edit for the computer to load. 3 seconds doesn't sound like a lot -until you realize there are hundreds of edits per video. Long story short- 1 hour of editing every video is waiting for the program to load. That's a whole lotta nothing!
Being able to edit is nice and all, but have you seen the RGB lights on this thing!! If I look at it too long I start getting dizzy. If you get one thing out of my YouTube channel let it be known
"There is never such thing as too much RGB"
