Microsoft Flight Simulator – Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport Review (HomaSim)

Third-party developer HomaSim recently released Imam Khomeini International Airport (OIIE) in Tehran for Microsoft Flight Simulator, adding a relevant hub to a region that definitely doesn’t see many add-ons. The airport itself is quite interesting as it shares airline traffic to and from the capital of Iran with its neighbor Mehrabad International Airport. OIIE handles all the international traffic, while Mehrabad is host to all the domestic traffic. You could say that it’s a bit less scenic than Mehrabad, which is in the middle of the city and closer to

NVMe drives slot directly into the motherboard like a stick of RAM and cut out unnecessary interfaces. Connecting directly to the motherboard reduces latency and ensures faster, more consistent speeds. The motherboard is a limiting factor when picking an NVMe. Older motherboards don’t have M.2 slots to support NVMe drives, so an add-on card is needed. Some motherboards have the required slots but don’t support the latest
