Perfesser

I'm still using XP and will continue till I upgrade to Win7. All the settings I used were in the nVidia control panel. Although as I said some options didn't come up until after I hooked up the second monitor and rebooted. I do have to minimize IL2 (windows key) to get the cursor to move to the second monitor.

I'm a big fan of high quality components, especially in the core of your system like motherboard and power supply. Asus is a great brand, I've used their boards in almost all my systems. Just make sure it will be compatible with the rest of your system and leave room to upgrade with better chips and periphery cards. If you're building a lower end system you can hardly go wrong by using the mobo recommended from the 'mid-range' systems from the sites I listed above..

An astounding pilot. A master of his machine. All kinds of airshow stunts. Many times with engines off. http://www.flixxy.com/bob-hoover-flying-ace.htm Somehow he pissed off someone at the FAA and they revoked his license to fly in the US. Not sure what ever became of that. http://meer.net/users/waa/freehoover.html

After having this second monitor sitting on the desk for a year I finally worked up the courage to set it up. They're different sizes, ratios and resolutions I hooked it up and set it to horizontal span (one wide desktop). IL2 started up but was split between the two monitors. On a reboot another option came up to "configure independently from each other(dualview)". That got everything working as it should. Thanks to everyone who posted here, got some ideas and fixes.

Robo-Hummingbird Takes Flight July 04, 2009 DARPA-contractor AeroVironment has developed a tiny drone that mimics the wing movement of a hummingbird, allowing it fly about and hover just like the actual bird. The firm says the final version of the winged "nano air vehicle" will look like a real hummingbird too, as well as be controllable from up to a kilometer away -- even inside buildings. See test flight video at Wired.com. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/07/video-pentagons-robo-hummingbird-flies-like-the-real-thing/

That is hilarious

Systems that use reflectors are subject to disturbances from outside light sources. Or rather heat sources. Mine worked fine until the first afternoon SEOW when the sun came in the window and warmed a spot on the wall behind me. I switched to IR LED's powered off a USB port and it works perfectly with no adjustments for ambient light conditions. A cigarette will throw it off and it will freeze for a second or two as it sees 4 heat sources instead of the 3 it needs.

Again, instead of Track IR consider the Freetrack setup. Same thing as TrackIR, you just collect the components yourself.

If you play a lot you need good stuff that will last. After having done this in the wrong order I'll give you my advice. Before any of your other equipment comes into play you have to SEE the bad guy. Track IR or Freetrack. Step 1. Get a joystick, nothing fancy. If you can afford it get a good one like a CH and just add the throttle later. Freetrack (if you can change a light switch, you can make one) Rudder pedals. The war goes on but I prefer the Saitek over the CH Step 2. Make this rig better with a HOTAS, CH or Saitek

I installed both Game booster has 1 screen with all unnecessary processes clearly defined, better for the inexperienced user. 140,000 downloads Alacrity has many options but if you don't know exactly what you're doing ...... less than 500 downloads
