MaceUK33 Dirk Diggler's stuntman Hotshot Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 8839 Loc: Darlington, UK	I bought it and have had a quick go and I get a pretty decent framerate now. Always used to get a few pauses and jerks. _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

I'm glad they finally decided to throw it in, now I can finally jump in w/o feelin' like my head is in a vice. _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

Mr_Blastman Member Registered: 01/08/06 Posts: 903 Loc: Atlanta, GA	It is tempting. I don't have TC though and Reunion + XTended is a lot of fun. Man, Track IR support though...

peppergomez Veteran Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 13057	honestly, trackir support in the current X games isn't really that big a deal, imo. The cockpit panning in the game is fairly limited (not even behind one's shoulder...it'd be as if you had a neck injury and had only limited turn radius of a few degrees instead of fully back behind your shoulder) and, at least in my games, pretty slow. Still, it is nice. Just not quite as vital as in a flight sim. _________________________ Mobo ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) Memory CORSAIR XMS3 8GB DDR3 GPU 2 MSI R6970 Lightning Radeon HD 6970 2GB CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz) Drives 2 HITACHI Deskstar 3TB 2 Crucial 256 GB SSD Displays 2 Dell Ultrasharp 2007fp 1 HP ZR30w UPS Cyberpower PP2200SW PSU Antec High Current Pro HCP-1200 1200W Case COOLER MASTER CM Storm Trooper Drive LITE-ON Black 12X Blu-ray CPU cooler Noctua 6 Dual Heatpipe Fans COOLER MASTER SickleFlow 120 OS Windows 7 Premium
