Got any ideas why I can't assign controls to my MS sidewinder force feedback 2?!

which are people finding better for this game, the 260 or the 4870 1gb
this chart seems to favour the ati card when its usually the 260 which is slightly better?

Anyone tried the Arma2 mark? Rapidshare download here
Just drop the .pbo in your missions folder and select it from ingame missions.
More about it here
On everything in advanced settings on normal apart from post processing on high
with 1280x1024 and 100% 3D resolution *edit sry not called fillrate now.
Can anyone with ATI compare theirs to Jmc's 285
I'd be playing at 1600x1200 tops personally so I dont mind, I dont normally use AA so I find their settings equate
Its an old review and maybe the patches changed things
Thats the impression I am getting too from around the net

Spec in sig. Running the game @1920x1200, all options very high apart from shadows and postprocessing. 100% Fill rate and 2700m view distance. Running with no motion blur. Some quick snaps resized down to 1024x640.
I get high 20's to low 30's for the majority. Only when near water does it dip into the teens!

I am getting about 30 with the 4870x2 all settings very high, also no motion blur, but the framerate fluctuates a lot depending on where I am looking.

man mine dont seem as good as anyone elses. lol
does the game have some sort of auto-graphical frame rate optimising ?
I increased overclock on my CPU (which actually made more difference than overclocking my GTX) and the frame rates were only up a few fps (but it was smoother) but the graphics seemed better - but all graphics were at same settings as before

Just installed on my laptop and played for about 10 mins there, in order to move the mouse properly had to change to very low (low was smooth FPS but the mouse lagged horribly still). From the 10 mins I played I cant wait to install it on my desktop and play properly, a crappy optical mouse on a bedsheet isnt the most accurate input device and while it graphics looked like it was running at 640x480 I can already tell itll look fantastic.
Played the first senario and our sl got shot crossing the street, shot the guy hiding in a bush and go patch up the SL while the other secure the area. Then decided to (stupidly) go rambo rolling out of cover and took a few guys out before some MG'er noticed me and began firing on me, rolled back into cover and the guy still sent a few blind shots through my cover to get me, fired back but it just kinda pee'd him off and he just went crazy and killed me. A squad mate then came over to assist me and just as he thought it was clear and began to help me, I hear gunfire and everything goes black, great game. Not sure what I think of the whole 'patching people up' element for a realism game but it sure is fun overall.

Game takes ages to install, a good 30 minutes, but at at least that gave me time to download the latest patch.
I'm very happy their aren't any performance issues though, which is what put me off the original ArmA when it first came out.
I put all the individual settings (in the advanced menu) to very high, resolution at 1680x1050, 3D rendering resolution to 100% (is this the fillrate setting?) and viewing distance at default (3600). According to fraps, I'm getting 50fps average, but more importantly, their aren't any huge fps drops apart from when I enter new areas; fps stays between 40 and 60 fps. Very playable, considering it has motion blur and fps is relatively stable (no stuttering or frameskipping). This is only on the first three tutorials, so it may not represent the rest of the game. This is on an [email protected], HD4890 (Cat 9.6), 4GB RAM and XP32bit.
Graphics are obviously brilliant, almost like Crysis in parts, but more importantly the animations are so much better and the environments seem a lot more dense, more detailed structures and random stuff littered everywhere (a bit like Stalker). I felt the original ArmA was just like OFP, but on a new engine ... this however feels a lot more like a new game.
Finally I have two questions:
1) Wheres the AA? It just says disabled on mine.
2) Is there anyway I can make walking the default movement type? I'm usually accustomed to pressing shift to run in most other games. I know that if you press shift twice, it changes the default type of movement to walking, but it resets everytime I start a new mission or load a saved game.

Whats the graphics card in your laptop Mah
fillrate is aa I think
how much memory does this game take, has anyone measured. Peak commit would show it in xp tskmgr
With the patching I think it makes you easier to kill each time you are revived. There is no health restore afaik
