Re: Devs, Have you evaluated LOMAC compatibility with SLI? ED and All, I, for one, thoroughly endorse the above plea and invite everyone interested in this subject to come here and write a line or two just to let ED knows how important SLI in LOMAC would be for us all. To the devs, for letting us know their plans regarding SLI, I thank in advance.

spearsd, I still can't access your domain... :cry: anyone else having the same problem????

Agreed, Dmut! But it doesn't change the fact that, to me, it is pretty weird to see my legs all the time, but no arms... I feel... dismembered! :o I'd rather have no legs showing in the inside cockpit views than this incongruency. I'm sure this has been said before but "JSF" anyone?? Not only could you see your arms but after ejection, you could carry a gun while you'd explore the 3D world on the ground... Then again, forget what I just said and let's have all flyables with the advanced flight model?? :wink:

spearsd, actually, I can't!! :shock: Somehow, your domain is not loading up here. I double checked my connection, tried different browsers and nothing... Don't loose your sleep though... if the link is really broken, someone else will mention it. I'm calling it a day now but I'll be back tomorrow to check it out again. Once more, thanks for your efforts in sharing your experience with LOMAC and SLI with the rest of us. Cheers!

Nope, thank YOU, spearsd!! Happy new year and a fast recovery! Just one thing, your link seems to be broken... :shock:

Goya, Thanks for the link. I had already seen it when spearsd first hinted it. In my previous post I should have mentioned that the SLI reviews covering LOMAC are hard to come by *except* the one already mentioned! :D Thanks anyway. Hadjuk, Thanks for the support. You All, Happy New Year with tons of high FPS markings!

Beforehand, I apologize for what I'm about to say. I can only speak for myself, but I have the feeling it applies for a bunch of people, not only here but in thousands of forums all over the internet. For the past 10 days (today included) I have been stopping by this topic at least 3 times a day. I have waited a long time for a computing solution to run LOMAC at the level *I* want to. The market/technology is quite not there yet (dual or quad cpus with dual/quad gpus) but I decided 6 months ago (when I was first hinted about SLIs coming back) that it would be "it" for me, until maybe 2006 when my dream setup gets to market at reasonable prices. Anyways, for the past 10 years all my #1 computers have been built towards air combat sims. Now, the only sim I want to play which underperforms in my system is LOMAC (F4FF3/SP4, JF-18 and others run just fine). My problem is that I can't afford to spend the kind of money for a 939 socket + SLI mobo + 2 GT6800 and realize it was a mistake (I wish I could!). If you check the web, all the SLI setup reviews cover Quake like games... we hardly see any flight sim mentioned, even less LOMAC! So I found this topic (was actually thinking about starting one myself) and thought to myself, "cool, a LOMAC head will have hands-on experience in a setup similar to what I'm planning to purchase and not only is he willing to share his experiences but he's also kind enough to take test requests... wow!!! I can only imagine just how frustrated he is for still no receiving his components. But then I come here, in a topic called "A64 3500+ w/ SLI BFG 6800GT OC PCI-E" just to find all kinds discussions, including wanna-be challenges about who knows which sim has a higher triangle count for the modeled aircrafts... :roll: Sure, I understand (believe me!) how the discussion of graphics implementation, drivers and current technology as a whole is pertinent to overall graphics perfomance, but this topic was supposed to be simply about how LOMAC will perform in an SLI'ed A-64 3500+. That's all!! Why not start another thread to discuss poly counts and what nots??? Well, I'm not sure I should hit the "Submit" button now... I'll probably just start to hear some brave challenges directed at me and I'm also not helping in keeping the focus writing yet another non pertinent message here: a complaint. Moreover, this will be just a teardrop in the rain... Over one thousand and one hundred views, only 46 posts and the guy hasn't even received his components!!!! Something's definitely wrong.... Whatever... Disclaimer: This was not directed at anyone in particular. Please, feel free to ignore this brain fart.

I'm glad to hear it's not just me... I've been trying to download it for the past 40 minutes. Even installed the full package of codecs (K-Lite) to no avail. Sit tight, everybody!
