Pirate

To the original poster, and I apologise if this has already been suggested - I haven't read the whole thread. I have an ATI 4850, and with it I have no real issues with BS - But, when I play Crysis it seems to cook my graphics card if i don't increase the fan speed to 95% from the 60% default which is sufficent for every other game. This results in my computer locking up... Now it is a different graphics card, and a different game, but it might be worth looking into.

I own an X52 and I'm quite happy with it, though given the choice I would have bought the pro instead for the extra £££. it is apparently more reliable and precise than the standard. That said, if that price for the Thrustmaster is the the cougar hotas I would be all over that in an instant... but you would need some rudder pedals.

I'm amazed at what you have accomplished, not only is it a stunning model but you have managed to make a terribly ugly helicopter look good... truely an artist :thumbup:

Greetings everyone! I'm new to BS, and heli sims in general - and like most noobs the KA-50 boggles my mind most of the time... But I've been skulking around the forums a bit and have picked up some useful tips, and soon hope to be more of a danger to the enemy than I am to myself.... well, I can hope can't i? So this is me, Pirate. reporting for duty :pilotfly:
