Updated 1/25/2013. I apologize for the month delay.

I will consider getting a new graphics card for the guest machine down the road. It won't be anything fancy, probably around the 150 dollar listings.

As for the FM2 socket getting -two- new lines of processors this year, I may wait and see what those are going to be. I was already impressed with the current FM2 stuff, if they are bringing out even better APUs for about the same price point I think it's in my best interest to take a look at AMDs roadmap. I had no idea new stuff was around the corner.

It would be great to collect some sort of "positive list" which configuration really worked with the game and to add this to the Initial posting, so we can see how they work together with MWO.

+1 This needs to happen, list what we've had successes with, how you got it to work, attach any config files etc etc.

I dug out an old Sidewinder Precision Pro (the version before the advent of USB) and wanted to use it with an old XP machine that still has a game port. The joystick was at first detected as it should be, and drivers installed. When I attepmted to calibrate it, it asked me to press some of the buttons, and then to move the rudder up and down. That did not quite seem to give the desired results (a blue bar supposed to empty or fill according to the movement of the stick jittered and was not really responsive to what I did), and then suddenly I received a popup message: "The device does not seem to be properly installed. Please check installation" or something to that effect. I deleted the stick and reinstalled several times, but the error persisted.
Would anyone have an idea what I could try to bring the joystick back to life?
Thanks!!!

It actually came with an adapter to put it into USB. It was a good Joystick. The latest Sidewinder drivers didn't support it either. You should be able to find legacy software online.

I have the Percision 2, but it would't function well with MWO.

Is there a patch to run an Intel ® Graphics Media Accelerator HD and play the game? If not, can anyone recommend a good graphics card compatible with a Sony Vaio laptop?

[Sir Roland MXIII]

Note that Richland is shipping now, and will be available June-ish. Kaveri will be later than that, if this year at all.

Laptops are not really expandable, since almost everything is soldered onto the motherboard. I have seen some external graphic cards but at best are used to convert video signals to other formats.

I guess if you were a modder you could fabricate something for a laptop but that is a lot of trouble, and unfortunately requires tons of know how.

Intel intergrated graphics is not a really option for serious gaming. While you can run some things on it, it is not designed for anything even remotely intensive. Video cards are the most important part of any setup when it comes to gaming. Cpu is important too, but without a decent built in graphics card you aren't going to be doing much with that system.

Hi. I'm about to build a new computer and want to confirm something. Most of the graphics cards are PCIe 3.0, but the motherboards in my price range for the processor I want are all 2.0 That won't be an issue it sounds like, according to this article. Am I right in that? Thank you for this article, it was very interesting and informative.

Quite correct, PCIe-2.0 slots are more than capable for current generation PCIe-3.0.

Hi, you should add, that the AMD FX Series are predestinated for Video Encoding.

Thanks, I think I will go for the R4. Im just waiting for a refund for the Corsair case now.

No worries. You'll be getting a great case for your build, that much is certain. Here's a little more info for you should you be interested as it relates to my case (Corsair 550D) and the Fractal R4:

So I sort of skimmed and I don't see much but I just picked up a Satiek X52pro and I'm having a hell of a time to make the controls work right, I can't figure out how to invert my y axis and my throttle works but its backwards, so that needs to be inverted too. I'm kind of a newb in this area lol if someone has any suggestions?

[urmamasllama]

there is only one hotas with pedals? i am so very sad face right now especially that price point i was hoping for the $150 range

[F lan Ker]

S!

Some cheaper HOTAS setups have twist for rudder and similar, so no need for extra pedals. The more pricey ones do require a set of pedals or you can map buttons for left/right turning. I am using Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + CH ProPedals to play, works fine and would be better if we had proper input support.

[Jetus]

I have an x-box 360 controller but it does not control proper within game. SO disappointing and I am up to several troubleshoots that don't work. I tried using Xpadder to emulate keyboard and mouse but MechWarrior throws something in to prevent control or maybe from harvesting XP. Not sure not so schooled at games yet. If the developers could add joystick support I think that would be worth something now would it???

[Hakkukakt]

hello

Thrusmaster Hotas Warthog + Saitek Combat Pro Rubber Pedal


i think to have pedal is more comfortable and intuitive ...



work fine

I currently have a Hotas X

every control on the stick is re-assignable. It's built into the firmware of the stick so no need for extra software. only two custom presets available though. one for each mode (3 or 4 axis mode)

it has a 3 axis and a 4 axis mode. when the 3 axis mode is set the 'twisty' stick and rudder are the same axis. in 4 axis mode the rudder is separate from the twist stick.

The bottom of the flight stick has a twist knob which adjusts the tension.

Minimal slop unless you adjust the tension way down.

The stick and throttle are stuck together with Alan screws. There is an included wrench on the bottom of the stick and wiring channels to separate the two.

works on the PS3... Kinda cool.

I'm a KB/Mouse player so i'm not getting much use out of it on MWO but it's great for Jane's flight sims and such.
