New Rig; I can fly now!

[Faman]

And how? From an Dual Core 2.66Mhz processor with an GTX9800+ videocard impossible to fly normally over the countryside, to a i7 2600K with a GTX590 I fly without a problem at very high settings. From zero to the max!
Now I finally can start flying COD..

First I heard COD isn't supporting SLI but with the new patch it's working with the GTX590.
I even tried out my 3D Vision and it's cool to sit in a 3D cockpit!
Only the landscape isn't rendered in 3D and looks kinda flat in comparison.
That you don't notice in 2D but it would be complete if it had 3D depth too.

Now it's time to replace my aging Saitek X-45 HOTAS for a Logitech G940 that fits my Playseat. In fact the X-45 fits more to prop-planes but the G940 is a nice allround for props and jets.

Update: do they have tracers yet? I want tracers and a choice to have historical decalls on/off in the game. A realtime Campaign would be nice too, although russian developers are not wellknown for campaign designing like Wings of Victory or Falcon.

Faman, how do you know the gtx590 is working in SLI? Have you checked with Nvidia inspector and can you see any activity from the second GPU? If it shows activity on the second GPU that would be great news. I know how you feel. I went from a duocore 6600 and an 8800gts to a i2500k and gtx570 about four weeks ago. World of difference. By the way, what kind of monitor do you have?

Excellent now if I can just find 1000 pounds sterling somewhere I can play COD ....

Nvidia Inspector tells me that SLI is not working in my GTX590.

Unfortunately all flight sims are good at munching through your bank account.

Have just cheerfully plonked down $398 + tax CAD ordering a Warthog HOTAS through Amazon.ca (free shipping though). Combined with the original cost of the PC, upgrades, peripherals, etc etc........I always chuckle when someone bemoans the $50 (or much less) price tag for CoD itself.

If I could get even 1 cent on the dollar for what I paid on the Mt Everest of old flight sims, junked PC's, monitors, garbaged peripherals, etc etc.......I'd be a rich man! LOL

My kids have between them over £1800 in video games from last years releases Wii, PS3, Xbox and PC titles, none of which have entertained them for more than a few weeks at a time due to rubbish content or publishers releasing poor software.
I did the games count up as they want to trade them in.

They don't get the fact I have been flying IL2 1946 £29.99 for over 10 years

Emmmm I would highly recomend you check out the Logitech forums wrt the G940 before you buy!

It is a real hit and miss with that stick! More, many more, bad reviews that good!

Logitech G940 Software Update - Official notice

The following is a link to the latest firmware update.. Note it is a YEAR OLD and does not fix the R1 R2 spikes or rudder reversal problems

G940 firmware 1.42 is now available

Also know that the stick itself is good to go.. It is the throttle and rudders that are the problem! I allready got rid of the rudders and repalced them with Saiteks new combat rudders.. I am currently looking at a throttle replacment

SLI don't work
