As long as there is a first person view, ie Cockpit view, I'll be buying it for the same reasons as the OP. (So disappointed at Blazing Angels lack of cockpit view that I refused to buy the game)

Just wondering has anyone managed to sort out the Region compatability between the VISTA beta and European Pal 360's. ie the Vista Beta MCE functionality doesn't work with a Pal 360 and gives a region error code. I'd install the Beta at the drop of a hat only for the fact that I use the...

See I told you my brain wasn't working at this late hour. Just blew my own idea out of the water alreay, but I can see why the thought didn't occur to my at first. Your head isn't necessarily going to track what your eyes are. My headset idea would be tracking head movement, not eye movement...

Read that IGN link Stevie. Very interesting discussion. A lot of the brainstorming was about about how to look rather than point in Metroid. ie Centre box in which Wiimote works as a pointer and moving the cursor outside the box to the edge of the screen Top/bottom/left/right makes the in game...

Ironic that I won't be getting a revolution for its quirky games, its mario's or its zelda's etc. I'll be getting it for its FPS's!! Simply cant get used to console FPS joypad control. Roll on the Rev controller! :D

3.4 P4 650,2gig ram, X850XTPE (not OC) 1920x1200 CAT 5.8 Everything on high, 16AF 2AA 30-60FPS Keeps my framerates below the 60hz/60FPS threshold on my 2405 so very very little tearing and seems smooth to me. Certainly never notice anything when it drops to sub 30 probably becasue it...

I used to get major texture corruption. Cockpits would go black with a black square for the rotors in FPV. Sometimes I would get black featureless guns as descirbed earlier and the gun sound effects would disappear. Somtimes if I zoomed in the scoped view would be black. While I never had...

My basic understanding of Tearing, V-sync and triple buffering is this...... Tearing is caused when the frame rate is higher than the monitor refresh rate. So this is why you get less tearing in FarCry than HL2. FarCry is harder on the graphics card than HL2 and it cant push as many frames in...

Not difficult with 99% of Sapphire 9800pro's as they use the XT PCB and have the LM88(or whatever its called) temp sensor. When flashed this becomes usable. That alone would be reason for me to flash even if I intended to keep the clocks at pro speeds. ATItool gives me the readins and mine idles...

Cause your 'target' in your BF2 shortcut properties doesn't have +szx 1920 +szy 1200 on the end Assuming you installed to the default drive and folders the target for your shortcut with the WS Resolution hack should read "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen...

I run 1920x1200 on my 2405 with everything on high except no AA on my non OC X850XTPE (P4 3.4 650+ 2gigs Ram) Are we quoting average frame rates? Renderer.draw FPS gives me 2 numbers. Are they both FPS? First varies from 40 when the screen is busy up to 80 or 90. Second number usually hovers...

I would concur with what the others have said. I just ordered another gig (2x512mb) from crucial for my XPS gen 4. Should arrive in a day or two. Just check and make sure your current gig is in the form of 2 512 sticks in 2 of the slots and order your second gig in the form of another 2 512...

Well I'm taking Socrilles word for the stabilty but I trust him. After some hard thinking today I've decided to purchase a Dimension 9100 with a 3ghz 630 instead. Reason being that our old Dimension 8200 (upgraded last year to 2.8, 512ram and 9800pro->XT) is getting a LOT more use than...

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but although I had decided against doing this mod, I just can't get the idea out of my head. Now I know there is no point doing it with my 650 as that yields a 4.5ghz OC requiring research into a voltage mod too, as well as better cooling probably, but as...

Yeah, I figured they should have been out by now but didn't even bother checking the ati site lately as I assumed there would be a rash of '5.7's are out!' threads on various forums to let me know!! [.....goes off to start download] :D
