I'm enjoying the game now, eating crow & apologies to all
 
Ok, so I figured some things out. I usually play my xbox on my computer monitor, which is a 30" gateway xhd3000, well the scaler in my monitor induces lag when your not playing at the native resolution of 2560x1600, and that lag combined with the minimal amount of deadzone made playing this game unbearable!

Also, I was pretty uncomfortable playing with my ace edge and throttle on my desk, they sat too high and my posture was much like somebody riding a Chopper motorcycle, lol.

So, I played on my Samsung 1080p 40" HDTV instead and man what a world of difference! Also, I made myself a makeshift little cockpit on my couch and the game is an absolute blast to play now...I just played multiplayer dog fighting for the last three hours!!

Now I wanna break out my Sanyo Z4 and put this thing up to like 120," then position my lazyboy in front of that and really make a more comfortable cockpit area for it...problem is I don't have the space in my house to do this

So yes, I apologize for the up and down posts, but after giving this title a second and third chance, I am very very pleased with it!

God its beautiful and there is nothing more satisfying than downing somebody on after a long fought multiplayer aerial game of chess, cat an mouse, and BLAM!

Also, I am now very satisfied with the Ace Edge's performance, you can definantly tell whos got a flightstick and who doesnt when you are playin online!

Sorry for the whining, but man you should see how bad this lag delay is on this monitor with this game....usually its not that noticable, but then this is a game where you would definantly see it!

It's a big man who can apoligize.

Sounds like you're turning into a regular Howard Hughes with that set up. Is there loose Kleenix all over the House?

well my makeshift cockpit is just my nice plush sofa and the hotas setup resting on a food tray that is pretty stable, but ultimately I want to take my projector and lazyboy and then make a stand or something for the hotas setup...here are some old pictures from my old condo of my projector at 14' and my lazy boy....bah I need to get a house with at least three bedrooms, so I can go hog wild in one of em with out pissing of my gf

Lol, I used to have 6 xbox 360's hooked up on a LAN and would host a game night every week for all my friends, but it got out of hand. Six 360's, six HDTV's and six to ten guys generates A LOT OF HEAT in a two bedroom, two bathroom 1,000sft condo. Also, my bathroom was disgusting once the night was over, and I would find random stuff like cups full of used chewing tobacco saliva juice, spilled beers, half eaten slices of pizza, etc...all over my place. Now I tell em if they wanna play then log on LIVE and we will go from there....dont want those dirty bastards in my house anymore lol.

I drink all my beer (seriously, wasting beer is BAD in my book). I throw away all the chewing tobacco I've chewed (:P I don't really chew tobacco), and eat all my food. And two guys playing all night together in the same room isn't weird... right? :P LOL
