4 days? Ah damn I guess I lost the bet. So this whole time you can't use the sim because you are outta activations, right? wow that sucks, I could see on a weekend and sunday or whatever it being slow but its wednesday morning now. :(

:D

I have 2 5770's, however I found using just 1 works much better in this sim. I'm able to use all high settings, msaa 4x, hdr on, 1920x1200 and get constant 50+ fps in most situations. I have quite a few newish games that I get very good fps with very high settings: Aliens vs Predator Batman: Arkham Aslyum Bioshock 1 & 2 Dead Space 1 & 2 Mass Effect 2 Metro 2033 Chronicles of Riddick Fallout: New Vegas

Here are links to the latest beta drivers. There are quite a lot of reports of this solving problems and improving framerates. So it may well be worth a shot! Always remember to sweep out all old traces of your old drivers before installing new drivers. Here is a link to a great free sweeper program: http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=4&evp=b0e23b57cdae2217c3d377655ad3ce34 Catalyst 11.4 (Win 7 & Vista x32/x64): http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2687&file=1&evp=d7c171c96f4e7a5f26dc7136481d8bd3 Nvidia 267.46 (Win 7 & Vista x64): http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2691&file=1&evp=63130c77f73e3cf7368610baf22151a5 Nvidia 267.46 (Win 7 & Vista x32): http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2690&file=1&evp=806318c22e5ba7c740566f5804f9e7b4 Nvidia 267.46 (Win XP x32): http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2689&file=1&evp=69d46d1562c057db5fec02e9f00839cc

Always a good idea use some kind of driver cleaner before installing new ones. Most times the install seems to work but you end up with odd issues and problems, most times its because of leftovers from the old drivers. Here is a good one: http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=4&evp=b0e23b57cdae2217c3d377655ad3ce34

267.46 are out now. Anything is worth a shot! Don't forget to run a driver cleaner if at all possible before installing new drivers. x64: http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2691&file=1&evp=63130c77f73e3cf7368610baf22151a5 x32: http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2690&file=1&evp=806318c22e5ba7c740566f5804f9e7b4

I got TrackIR5 for $130. I spent a few minutes looking at the cheaper or free alts for it but I decided that I just wanted a good one that worked. I'd never even used one before buying it but after buying it I think its well worth $150. I'd even pay a bit more. That being said I've never tried the other ways but I can't imagine that they work any better so I'm satisfied. Truth be known I bet a lot of us have blown equal to or more than that on absolutely nothing of value at all :D

Great job thanks very much!

Thats probably a standard message. Being sunday and all it might take a bit longer than a weekday afternoon but I still put my money on quick help. Hopefully B5 works for you and you can continue to fly while you wait :)

Let us know what happens, then if someone has the same thing happen they'll have a rough idea of what to expect :) Good thing you posted this I'm down to 1 or 2 left, I wonder if you have to wait til you are at 0 to get more... or how it works lol. I bet ED fixes you up very quickly.

Welcome! Enjoy the sim :D

Thanks muchly! :)

geskes does a good job recreating some of the video in this one, great viewing! I found this quite cool. But it seems I can't figure out how to embed the videos correctly :/

Dale handles it like a champ, lol "what the hell?!?"

Conure: Wags profile is AWESOME to use then just adjust the sens to your liking. Its great and saves a lot of time, even allows you to look all the way behind you! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=59974 Newest TrackIR drivers. 5.1 Final: http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/TrackIR_5.1.Final.exe After you have that profile, spend the time to make sure the camera is adjusted correctly, switch to camera view to help you figure it out. You want only your dots to show up, and they must stay green at all times. If you see other things in camera such as other dots or the dots blink red, or the dots are kind of distant looking adjust the IR brightness and Light filter threshold to get the best you can. Always keep video processing mode to Precision in this section. You can select Precision off/on from the other section if you'd like via F10 or clicking the tab. Once you get it setup perfectly, its so amazing. Enjoy!! :)

Excellent idea! :)

There is a new TrackIR driver available: http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/TrackIR_5.1.Final.exe (posted March 2, 2011) (.exe 7.6 MB) • Supports TrackIR 5, TrackIR 4, TrackIR 3 • Note: If problems are encountered when using Windows XP with ATI video cards, try version 4.1.038 instead. Download: http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/TrackIR_4.1.038.Final.exe

True I also came to grips with it, I couldn't even imagine waiting to purchase and use this sim for such a reason :huh: I love the idea of click click, wait 40 mins and play. Some people like what they like though. I have a friend who still buys DVDs from blockbuster and adds them to his collection. As well as an uncle who has one of those 100Lb tv's from the 70's that swears its just as good as new hdtvs.

Thank you muchly!! :thumbup:

Thanks ED! Torrent took 17mins flat will seed all week! <3 torrents :)

siefex: Might be worth taking a look at the post in my signature if you haven't already. Best of luck!

Switch to Camera View. You want the dots to be sort of in the center, however the MOST important thing is when you turn your head in every direction that those dots do not turn red, this happens if the angles are wrong. So having it in camera mode makes it easier to see as you tilt your head fully in each direction watching those dots. If you see them get close together adjust slightly so they stay green. Also try and stay within 3-4 feet from camera to clip although this usually isn't a big problem. Just making slight adjustments until the dots stay fully green.

I found youtube videos helpful, and in fact watching a startup video (the 2 part one from Wags I believe) is what hooked me on both sims. I thought to myself 'wtf I gotta try that!' and that, was that. I still to this day, after I can't even count how many times, still get a big grin on my face as I cold start and take off. Taking off from Canada in the winter in the dead of night in a storm is one of my favorites. TrackIR will make things so much better, as hard as that might be to believe right now, but it really will. WELL worth the investment! Keep at it! :)

TrackIR is a must have! :D

Great stuff! :) Did you use Natural Head movement view? (F1 + Lctrl)
