We will see on the FPS issue, all I'm doing right now is the easy quick start missions. I do believe when I have a stick and can get into the Sim more things will level out. I put a Geforce GTX 770 with 4GB GDDR5 on board along with 32GB of 1866 on the motherboard. I'm running a MSI Z87 with a I7-4770 CPU & Win 7 64. I had read the the Sim was more GPU than CPU, I seem to running fine no shuddering at all but again I don't have a lot going on, just trying to hit something and keep it out of the dirt.

Well, I took your advice and got the track IR with the pro clip. I'm old school (just old) LOL and I this is COOL or tight/righteous you get my drift..sweeeeet. I'm still waiting on my HOTAS they emailed me and said that the wait for the 55 is now til the end of May!!! This is killing me, I'm hooked and flying this with a KEYBOARD not good. I found a TM Warthog online new for 461.00 shipped, can be here in 7 days, Looks like I'm gonna bite. I did notice that with everything set on max before the TIR I was getting 135/140 FPS and with the TIR running I have dropped to around 115 FPS. Do I need to drop my setting or does that seem normal to you guys? Maybe I was just looking around more, scratch that I was like a kid on a plane in the window seat. I hope that I dont start looking at the co-pit set up's:smilewink:

Thanks for the reply's, yea I looked at the Warthog HOTAS and thought that the 400+ tag was a little steep at this point. I went with the Saitek X-55 @ 200.00 hoping I can work with it for now. I still have the Saitek that I started with back 12 years or so ago. I believe it was Jane's combat game, that stick has the 15 pin game port hook up on the end. Thinking that ought to hit the trash this week end.

Hi all As you can see this is my first post here. I have been lurking about, reading all I can & watching all the you tube uploads. I just got this Simulation A-10C, and am ready to dive in head first. I am waiting on the new x=55 HOTAS to get here, and want to ask you guys what I should invest in next, a set of rudder controls or the Track IR? I know that I will end up with all of the stuff !! I just rebuilt my home computer to the tune of 1500.00 to run this sim at optimal settings and SWMBO is eyeing my spending on this "GAME" so I have to slow down a little. I kind of go all out when I get into something, I mean I'm looking at a new gaming keyboard,mouse,headset, IR clip for the track IR and on an on. So what will give me the most bang for the buck starting out? Thanks guy's
