Hello m8's I know most of you dont know me well yet, especially the new ones as I've been busy in the life here lately

I'm going to be building a new machine or rather starting to piece one together slowly but surely for i love to build balls out gaming rigs. Was wandering about this new dual core stuff from AMD, im hearing they get bus speeds of up to 2000mhz!

anyway, my question to you guys out there with these processors is how do they run? Also, how does one get the full 64 bit from windows XP and all that stuff?

I'm sure you'll get some good responses here, but may I again tout a very helpful techy or two who are also IL-2-ers.

Well death, first you make sure all the key-settings for your hat-switch are used for something usefull...And that´s about it...If you haven´t used TR before you are in for a surprice, simple and easy to get to like
And if you used yor mouse for lookingaround you won´t be using your mouse much more...Have fun m8

The early TrackIrs needed quite a bit of tweaking, but nowadays they work right out of the box.
The only buttons you may need are for enabling/disabling and centering the view, and you'll hardly need those once you get the hang of using it.

Took me about a week or so to get used to the TrackIR, now it's so intuitive I catch myself turning my head on the mac at work to alter my view

check that conf.ini has
TrackIR =1
_____________________________
I assigned #pad 5 to centre Track IR (key binding unchecked in Track IR )
[ ] and ' are used to change gamespeed in IL2, so good choices to assign other TIR functions.
If you want to assign hat functions to something else it's pretty handy to use it for bombsight elevation/L-R drift

Spotted on the newsstand that the current PC Format has an article on tweaking dual core setups, although I didnt buy or read it.
