Afaik that's what it's doing - it's 1 of TK's little secrets.

With GMax afaik you are still going to have to pass your model to somebody with 3DSMax for them to export into the game.

Don't know about FLIR but something this way comes ...

If you are going perhaps you might consider doing a general "observations from E3" article for CombatAce (& no doubt CH-Hangar too)? If I can spring a set for review (we can but try ;) ) presumably Saitek would supply me with a pile of marketing material too.

Cheers Ghost. I'm sure that we can rely on some impartial observations too. Seriously though I think that if they can come up with something 1/2 decent that sells for 1/2 the price of CH or Simped it will open the market to people who couldn't justify a set of pedals before.

I've got a set of CH but you never know (especially if I can use CombatAce's name to request a set for review ;)). Usually when Saitek show stuff at E3 it isn't available retail until summer anyway. Maybe someone is visiting E3 & can have a look & get some pics ?

Over the years Saitek have been asked many, many times if they would do rudder pedals. Well, apparently they finally got around to it. All that's known until E3 is that they are USB & have fully proportional toe-brakes.

Actually a 7800GT is probably a slightly better value card than the X1800XL (which is of course ATi's last gen card) & broadly comparable. nVidia is launching the 7900GT next week - this is really a tweaked 7800GT expected to add ~10% performance at the same price. It will also of course drive the price for the 7800GT down further. If you could supply details of the systems that it is to run in, monitor & main apps/games it would help.

Moved, thanks. If you spot any more escapees please let us know.

Thanks Fates

Remember that you will get a tone as soon as you switch to Sidewinders but you need to wait for the tone to get louder when it locks on.

reviews of the first retail mobo using it (ASUS A8R32-MVP) at Anandtech, HardOCP & VR-Zone so far.

At your usual game download sources (Google for it) 630Mb so I hope that you have a fast connection. NB. The full game is StarForce protected, don't know about the demo. For more info http://www.rebellion.co.uk/sniperelite.htm
