I did check other posts, but there werent many, and most of the posts were from people who were pissy cause there were no support for multiple controllers. What did you mean about setting pedals to left rght keys/mouse? You bound your rudder pedals to keypresses? I really do need analog input for the rudder pedals to be of any use at all. if not, i could just as well use the twist on my stick or one of the hats if i want it to be non analog.

Hey i was wondering the same.. I actually have the exact same setup as you too. x52 and pro pedals. Flying choppers with a twist rudder totally hurts after a while, cause the twist spring of the X52 is pretty stiff compared to many other sticks.. Anyone know?

I said dual cores are slower.. one core of a 4600 x2 is a 2300... and well, thats slow. at least compared to the faster single core cpu's. The background tasks on a clean computer dont really amount to much either. And if you have antivirus running in the background while you're playing, you're a dick thats gonna slow you down no matter how many cpu's you have, cause the loading time of a map is gonna be a year and a half I jumped from an old xp2000+ with a gig and a half of ram, and a ATI X800 card to a x2 2600 (EDIT: Yeah i ment 4600..) with a geforce 7800 and 2 gigs of ram, and i did get a fair improvement in performance, but nothing like double. Well at least not in games. Other apps maybe, but photoshop and stuff like that has been running smooth as silk for years, so not really noticable. Not adding support for multiple cpu's in newer games is kinda tarded tho.. Not like multiple cpu's came out yesterday. Been out for more than a year now, or thereabouts, havent they? Don't think we are going to see single core cpu's popping out any time soon either. You can only push the one chip performance so far before it don't go any higher, and they seem to have reached a limiting factor now.. So... get some multi cpu support going.. It's gonna suck tenfold on a quad cpu rig. Sitting there with a 10ghz rig when all you're getting is 2.5ghz worth of power sorta blows.. In a "i'm back in 2002" sorta way.

Yeah i do see now that the other core is taking a little bit of the cpu hit. Probably cause i have an nvidia card. I guess hard disk loading from streaming terrain and stuff would maybe fall on the other cpu as well then? Kinda sucks that dual cores for games are actually slower than single cores... One would think that there would be something that could just sorta...combine the two to do a little bit of the workload each, like with gfx cards in SLI mode.. Then again, that would just make too much freaking sense i guess.. If i knew this, i'd never have bought an x2 chip. Buying a cheaper cpu would probably give me an aditional 10fps or something. hehe. Oh well, thats what you get for assuming

You guys who are getting surprizingly low fps in ArmA with your AMD x2 rigs, check if arma is actually using both cpu cores, cause mine is not. I have affinity set to both cpu0 and cpu1, but when i run the game, it always maxes at 50% cpu load, hence only one core. I have no freaking idea how to rectify this.. Anyone? Reason i know how much cpu load it uses is i got 2 monitors, and i have the task manager runing on second monitor so i can see it all the time. and 50% cpu constant.. Run ArmA and check the performance graph and you'll see it too, just alt tab out, one of the graphs is maxed, the other one zilch.
