FSX's performance was disgraceful, IL-2 performance is great considering the realism, graphics and AI used, im getting 120fps+ when playing... I hope DCS can optimise it like that :)

lol that will easily run DCS maxed out, this is not Crysis remember ;)

Wont be for at least a few years, DCS is currently working on the A-10 as the next aircraft

Mine took about 8 working days if I can remember correctly

how did my post end up here :S

Yep ive got it for PC, its running completely maxed out with full AA (1680x1050) on my HD4850 / AMD 5600+ X2 at 50fps+ very fun game :)

Heaps of people are saying Falcon 4.0 is better then LockOn, I tried it out and its no where near LockOn realism, it feels too unrealistic. Nothing beats LockOn for fighter jet realism

Use a 22" Asus VW222U monitor :) Best value for money the 22" imo

Also need to take into account that they use programs such as 3dmark when benching, to get a good score on that a quad-core is essential

didnt realise i wrote that :P its not physx or cude that does folding at home, its in the program itself. very interesting to see these cards optimised for folding@home, with all the terraflop power its a lot more powerful then a PS3 could ever pull off

They use a quad-core to eliminate any CPU bottleneck that may be present, some games like Crysis take advantage of quad-core so I guess thats why they test it. What brand is your PSU? From what ive seen a 620 watt PSU is fine to run, as long as its good quality. Never risk powerful hardware to a generic / sub-generic PSU's.

Just get the HD4850/HD4870, they cant be beaten on price / performance ratio. Would you really spend twice the amount to get only 10% more performance by buying a GTX280? The drivers are very early in beta stage and its not even the final BIOS for the HD4870X2 so I wouldnt judge the performance of the card based on those reviews, it will be better. You can also easily overclock the HD4870 to get the same performance of the GTX280 ;) FSX is terribly optimised so I wouldnt base a card purchase just on that, that would be kind of stupid considering how highly priced they are. The GTX280 has already dropped $150 and its still not competitive, dont ever think it will go below $400 anytime soon. If you havnt got much money dont go and waste $449 on a GTX280 when you can get very close performance for $150 less :)

heres some early preview reviews: http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=588 http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTUzMSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3354 http://techreport.com/articles.x/15105 note this is not the final card, but judging by performance its currently owning the GTX280

heres mine :)

never noticed the e-shop before... yeah amazon doesnt ship to AUS, thanks will purchase it now

Damn, guess we're going to have to ramp up the clock speeds on the CPU then if its only going to be single core

Will DCS: Black Shark support multi-GPU's? Id also imagine the game will be heavily CPU bound, any news on mutli-CPU also?

got an email from gameswarehouse saying the game has sold out.. got a refund though. is there any other stores you guys know where i can purcahse it from? thanks

Just got it off gameswarehouse as linked above :) thanks heaps anyway though

now it says discontinued and sold out, guess i got the last copy...

KA52 gets my vote ;) http://www.aeronautics.ru/kamov/ka5201.jpg Dont want to go into too much detail but its just awesome, im glad DCS launched the series with the KA50 first, if only they were able to get permissions for the F22 to develop, though its not going to happen ever unfortunately :(

yeah but none of them would deliver to australia, gameswarehouse finally have them in stock, last time i checked it said discontinued, thanks ill purchase it now :)

Hi, I currently live in Australia and I am having a very hard time finding LOMAC:FC or LOMAC GOLD for sale. I dont think I'd spend over $40.00 as I've seen other countries get it for ~$20.00. Where am I able to purchase this game from? thanks
