I just (minutes ago) bought an X65F and am totally looking forward to it! I've never owned a HOTAS setup so this will be quite new for me. My old trusty Logitech Wingman Rumblepad died on me tonight so I went all out and splurged for the X65. Maybe a little too much holiday beer - I mean cheer was in play. lol :) I'll be returning to this thread once I have it in my hands and will post my thoughts / profile ideas / etc. Cheers! Mark

Greetings! Hi All, I might as well introduce myself and say Hi here. I want to say that I'm absolutely loving this sim and all of its complexities. Some day I hope to actually hit something. lol. A quick background: I have been flying sims since my Apple IIc and everything in between. I am an IT director at my place of work and I have to say if it weren't for flight sims I probably wouldn't have bothered with computers as much as I have. I build my own computers and try to keep up with all the new technology that comes out as one of my hobbies. I'm not sure why, but I didn't invest in DCS:BS. I heard about the DCS A10 from a thread in the iRacing forums and pounced on it as I've been secretly in love with the A10 ever since I knew of it. :) OK anyways, as far as FPS goes so far I've been very happy! I have absolutely all the eye candy cranked up and rarely hit 20FPS. Usually I'm seeing 40 - 45 or so. I'll list my system specs below: i7 930 @ 3.25GHz 6GB OCZ DDR3 1600 EVGA E758 Mobo EVGA GTX 470 EVGA GTX260 - dedicated Physx processor (we're not using Physx here so that does nothing but create heat) I'm leaving the hard drives out because I have a crazy situation going on with that but the sim resides on a raid 0 array. Cheers!
