Flying the Hornet on the Growling Sidewinder server :)


After a month of failing miserably at flying helicopters in Arma3, I've decided I will dedicate all my flight time to DCS as I've spent over $2000 in gear over the past year. It's time I put that money to good use and become a DCS YouTuber like the guys I've come to respect by watching their videos.
*OperatorDrewski, Growling Sidewinder,  Spudknocker, RedKite and Jabbers! :) 

I've learned a lot from watching them and so I've decided to devote myself to DCS as well. 

My current setup consists of:
3 x TM MFD for realistic control of my inputs
TM F/A-18 Hornet Joystick
TM TWCS Throttle
Virpil Control Panel where I've assigned my takeoff sequence
VKB T-Rudders Mk IV Pedals
Stream Deck (5x3) where I've assigned cockpit buttons.


I've been testing my stream with different settings this past few weeks in order to get better results. I've noticed that Hardware NVENC hasn't been working for me so I've changed my settings to:
 Software 264 Encoder
1080p 60 fps Output 
CBR 6000
VeryFast CPU usage preset
Lanczos downscale filter.
