Thanks Peter

Cool! I never was too keen on the square ones.

But how often do you play 3DMark? ;) Fps/image quality is where it's at .... :)

I think that he downloaded it from me a few days before your post.

No, I have shied away from it. I tried the demo & didn't like it & whilst the full release is supposedly better feedback is that it is still arcadey.

Column5 has a preview up http://www.column5.us/wov.htm

I've never owned 1 but they seem to get a decent rep. They have had a bit of a problem with drift (not the only ones though - both TM & Logitech have too so I suspect MS changed something) but Saitek have updated drivers & brought out a deadzone utility.

Yup, it's a lubic http://www.aerocool.com.tw/aerocool-files-...bic/gallery.htm

It's been out for about a month in the UK already.

as Wolf 257 said you will have to wait until Mad Jeff or someone else checks it & puts it on the ftp (I don't have authority for the ftp).

Growler67 & darkpresence=JW= As Weasel_87FIS said http://www.wovgame.com/ It's based on the SF P1 engine which has come a long way (some far better community addon terrains than the original desert now too) so it will run on reasonably modest hardware. It's a standalone rather than an expansion pack.

Neither is yet implemented in the game engine although provision for them is there - same with ECM & brake chutes. (historically at that time very few a/c carried them - chaff was laid by dedicated aircraft or some pilots shoved handfuls behind their speedbrakes)

I'm sure that a way will be found :)

http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=5914 I guess that Saitek are fed up waiting for all the WHQLed drivers to come back from MS :)

They have licenced SF P1's engine from Thirdwire.

Winrar will work too - .rar is just another compression format.

I'm all for 2x optical drives I just can't see why you need to spend the extra cash to have 2x DVD-R/RW when 1x DVD-ROM & 1x DVD-R/RW will do - but hey, it's your cash :). Again I agree about AGP not having reached it's limits however the future is PCI-E & as you will be starting afresh (not carrying over a gfx card) I would be looking to PCI-E. Chances are that the best enthusiast boards will be PCI-E & as for the possibility of SLI

iirc the GT beats the Pro but the XT PE beats the Ultra.

1. Why 2x DVD-R/RW? I can understand 1x DVD-ROM & 1x DVD-R/RW but.... By the time you get around to buying this you will more likely be getting NEC3500 16x drives for the same price. 2. By Xmas there will be other worthy socket 939 boards to consider (there are now) & it wouldn't surprise me if the PCI-E equipped boards start to show up by then. 3. I would reconsider about the 256Mb sticks - at some point you will want to try over 1Gb, you won't have any free slots & then you will be throwing stuff out.

You could always get SF P1 for like $10 & fly the F-4J :)

If it's on the system in youir sig it's obviously not the problem with hyper-threading so I would go with a USB problem of some kind. What have you got it plugged into (hub, case or I/O plate ports)?
