>> I'll buy a copy in the next few days and try it out on my Opeteron 148 @ 2.86 What would be a good benchmark scenario? << I just caught this post.. Slatr, Here's what I get: at altitude, my frame rates are perfectly acceptable with everything turned on. I get...

Flight Sims - Remember Those?

>> I appreciate the insight... I am mostly a propeller kind of guy but I'm thinking about flying some more jets, and I'm leaning a bit more towards LOMAC now. << Hi Professor, and Happy New Year; I truly believe you won't be disappointed with LOMAC. I wish I could send you screen...

>> INteresting, thanks for the insight. I'm really interested in Falcon 4.0 AF's dynamic campaign however. I love the feeling that what I'm doing in those missions is actually making a difference in the game, whether it be good or bad. I hate games where you cant move on until you "beat" the...

Flight Sims - Remember Those?

Hi Professor, I have both games, and while I agree that F4 is a somewhat more "complete" game in some respects, I respectfully disagree that it is more realistic - quite the opposite, in fact. For instance, in F4, a hit is a hit - damage is randomly generated. In LOMAC, however, damage...

Flight Sims - Remember Those?

Slatr, I have that one, and it is "F/A-18 Interceptor", by Bob Dinnerman. To say it was ahead of its time is a tremendous understatement. Dinnerman designed full-scale flight sims, and decided to take pity on us poor desktop users and apply his tremendous expertise to a game which we...

Hi All, I ran over to my local coputer store, got me an overclocked 7800GT, and guess what? hardly any difference in my frame rate with LOMAC, over my 6800GT. Looks like I am going to have to upgrade my processor before anything else. Thanks again guys! TG

Ben, Thank you for the *INVALUABLE* reference - I really appreciate it! I have not had problems with the system accessing virtual with either 512MB, or the 1 GB I have now. The only difference between 512 and 1GB is the load speed, which improves drastically with 1GB. This is...

Hi All, First, thanks to all for their comments. Matt2, your point is well taken concerning application familiarity, and unfortunately, I have not seen any such specific numbers published. Willie11B, thanks for your reflections on FPU performance, and I thank ayabe, and videopho, for...

Why are so many people down on SLI?

If we just keep waiting for the next best thing, we'll never build our PCs. TG

Flight Sims - Remember Those?

Hi All, I am new to this board, and have fallen a bit behind in my video technology savvy since I stopped staying current with things - which was, oh, about the time the Voodoo-5 came out! Well, maybe not that bad, but I still am behind the times! I was hoping that one or more of...
