I'm currently rolling with the following: EVGA P55 FTW i7 860 @ 4.0Ghz w/ Swiftech Apogee XT Corsair Dominator GT's 4GB 2x EVGA GTX 285's 3x120 Swiftech Rad in top of HAF 932 DD CPX-Pro Corsair TX750 I had a 780i FTW and 790i Ultra. I would gladly go back in time and smack my self silly for purchasing those. If you have a 790i, return it, ebay it, or just give it to your grandma. Go get an i7 based system and run SLI on it. Don't run SLI if you only plan to run sims. The 197.13's work fine on BS, and I will be testing them with FC2 later tonight. Also, I always disable SLI for BS, FSX, and LOMAC:FC. Really, those GTX 280's will just turn your room into a hotbox. You'll only need one. An E8400 or Q9550 will easily push a GTX 285 at stock speeds, especially with just playing sims. If I was you, I would be less worried about GPU's, and more worried about getting a CPU that has more cores. That's just me, though. You could probably unload those GTX 280's and that 790i Ultra and get an X58/P55 + i7 + a single GOOD GPU, with the money you would save from having to get a monster PSU to push those old-school 280's. Again, my opinions. If you really want SLI, don't go past 2 cards. Most all games don't scale well past 2 cards, especially sims. Good luck, and have fun.

I've got my G940, P55 FTW, and a few other goodies coming in tomorrow. I really cannot wait to get a copy of DCS: Black Shark. I just found out today that LOMAC: FC will be upgraded to 2.0. I want to get a copy of Black Shark ASAP of course, however I was wondering if there will be an option to pre-order FC 2.0? If so, then will there be an option to buy DCS: BS and pre-order FC 2.0 at the same time? Maybe throw in a $5 coupon? That would be awesome to pay $50 to get a copy of DCS: BS and pre-order at the same time. Anyhow, I was just wondering, not that I care about the $5. I will probably not be able to wait to purchase BS. I'll probably order it five minutes after I get FSX configured on my G940. I was just hoping to send some funds to DCS in support of another awesome title. Thanks for doing what game devs should do. Supporting your older products when it is feasible to do so. See you guys soon, on the battlefield. Peace!

Posted in "Wish List" instead of "Announcing Flaming Cliffs 2.0" thread. My bad.

LOL, like such an AMD CPU exists!

Just got my new disc #2 for lockon gold and have patch 1.12 installed. I want to play online but I can't figure it out. I am a noob so any help would be appreciated. Been playing sims since janes USNF and Longbow era. This is way more advanced, and fun. Anyways, if there are any flight "squadrons" out there can I join and train with you? Don't know if I have this aimed in the right forum, I am just trying to stick out a thread and find the right reader to point me in the right direction. Thanks all. This rounds on me. <-- stupid line from Longbow 2 opening movie. lol.
