I really want to learn how to use a flight simulator. I just bought a Dell XPS 8940 and had Dell set it up with a gaming graphics card. I have absolutely no experience with gaming, and I don't know what Dell installed. On the build sheet Dell lists a NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1660 SUPER (TM) 6GB GDDR6. Is this the graphics card? Anyway, the new desktop has windows 10. I was able to fly the 172 4 times, and I had no rudder control. I bought a Logitech Extreme3D pro joystick to use with FlightGear. I attempted to configure the joystick, and I have not been able to fly since.
I live in Arizona, so I really only want the scenery for that general area right now. I can't get that to load either. When I launch FlightGear, it spends 10 minutes trying to load scenery and I am still not successful. I purchased a FlightGear version 2016.3.1 DVD disc from a seller on ebay that has been less than helpful.
My goal is to learn to fly the 172 and transition to military jets, but I don't think I have the computer savvy to make this goal happen.
If any more info is needed to help me get off the ground I will be happy to supply it.
Thank you in advance,
Jeff
