bumpinthenight Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hi, been looking for a helicopter flight sim for a long time that could live up to the fun I had with comanche 2 back in the day. I really hope this one can do it. I have a few questions about how it'll perform, I'm downloading the demo but at 20k/sec its going to be a few hours from now until completion. My first question is does it work okay with Vista 64? I saw someone confirm that it runs better with SP1 so that's a good sign but I need to confirm that x64 functions too. Second question is this game capable of properly displaying on 3840x1024 resolution (3 displays using triplehead2go)? Thats a huge bonus if it does, most flight sims to tend to, just making sure this one is among them. Lastly I'm going to assume yes to the next, but would it run nicely on this hardware with those two stats above? 2x8800GTX OC2s, AMDX2 6000, 6gigs of DDR2@800mhz and I'll be using a logitech force 3d pro stick with it. Anything above 30fps is cool with me. Oh and for what its worth it'd be loaded from one of two raid 0 arrays on this computer too. I sure hope all the above are good to go, been waiting on a decent combat helicopter game for years now.
GGTharos Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I hate to dissapoint you but the helicopter sim isn't out yet. In addition it's better tweaked than previous versions of ED's products, but also it has higher-res graphics etc so those will even out. On a rig like the one you described you should have nothing to worry about in terms of performance.

bumpinthenight Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Awe, doh! I'd seen a video on youtube and got all excited.
GGTharos Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Sometime this year :) I'm fairly certain you'll enjoy it, assuming you don't mind all the switchology (a lot to start up/shut down, in the middle of combat it's much more basic - fly the chopper, point the chopper, lock onto and shoot stuff) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
bumpinthenight Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Bah that's all good to me, I'm looking for a less arcade-like experience then what Comanche 4 had left me with. Wasn't too impressed with that one. I'll keep watching for when Black Shark comes out then.
GGTharos Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Cool! :) I hope you are also into COOP. The heli's really nicely set up for this. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
