I have been looking forward to this game since the teaser video came out several years ago.

One thing that I would suggest is the ability to take advantage of a milti-monitor setup, such as AMDs Eyefinity or nVidia's Surround Vision. The additional screen space will give superior peripheral vision, an important aspect of this type of game.

On a side note, will HOTAS be a control option? I have a Saitek X52 Pro and would love to be able to program all the buttons and toggles on it for a more simulation-type experience. Considering that the Hunchback cockpit shows almost precisely the setup of the X52, this would be great.

Eyefinity may be possible but inconclusive since we do not have a Beta to validate this by. See below for possible reference.

The X52 is almost guaranteed to be supported, going on the FAQ. Besides that, if you own the Joystick, you've seen how powerful Saitek's very own software is, even when the game DOESN'T support some buttons. Takes longer to set up, but still works fine.

I'm am in a computer rebuild cycle this year (every 5 years) so I'm going to go the eyefinity route, but they do need to do a little tweaking of the code I believe to really utilize it.

We're also looking at doing something similar for the financial brokers we have at work, most of them have multi (like freaking 5-10 monitors) setups and what we've got now is a PITA to setup.
