Okay, been playing around with settings, profiles etc a few hours and... what a stupid product. Playing in this game engine for almost a decade now, and looking at the trackir for some years but never got around buying it; all I can say is that the Alt-key for moving camera... simply works great and if you ask me... this product was a major dissapointment. (Or maybe rather, I find absolutely ZERO use of it... maybe leaning forward for zooming but... and how often do you do that?) Possibly a few cases when landing a helicopter I could find this usefull, but on the other hand been doing it since OFP so adding this "new dimension" rather gives me a headache then improving the experience.

Ok, been reading through the forums some. Turned of HT in bios, also playing on Vista since it works better on this game build. Going to install 2x 480 SLI this week and see if that will help with some improvement. Seems like not everyone has an imrovement with SSD drive, so I'll wait with that. By the way... draw distance, this is related to graphics memory yes? I hate to have low settings on this, especially while flying, but also seems to have a strong impact on performance. Also ordered Arrowhead, I hear there are performance increases to expect on stronger systems with patch 1.07 yes? Currently 30-50 fps on medium grapichs ArmA v1.2 but hoping to maybe turn on post-processing with SLI. With PP turned off it really looks flat... everything becomes eyecandy with that turned on imo :)

I don't have Arrowhead so only have latest original game patch. Seems to work (better) in Vista though... strange.

Ok, so I re-installed ArmA2 and it worked fine on GTX260 when I last played it (some time ago). Current specs: Win7 x64 i7 920 12GB ddr3 GTX 480 ArmA2 fps: 10-30 stuttering slideshow... completely unplayable. ........anyone else?
