TrackIR Giveaway Contest

Post by ruggbutt »

I'd like to announce a TrackIR giveaway and thank CombatAce for hosting the contest. Having been a member of that site since it's inception I thought that CA was the right place for my squadron to give away some TrackIR units. Our squadron just went through an upgrade with new TIR5's so we have some just sitting around with no one to enjoy. That's where the members here come in. We have 5 or 6 units to give away, they're all TIR4's with the exception of one TIR3. 3Sqn has decided that we wanted to give back to the flight sim community and here's how we do it. You'll have to do a little bit of work to qualify, but we think we've come up an interesting way to qualify you for the contest.

1). Head over to our squadron website (http://3sqn.com) and enter the forums. You do not have to have a registered account to see the "General" section of the forums. Once viewing the General section of the forums, choose a thread and open it to read it. The third word in the first sentence is the word you'll need to remember. 3 Squadron, 3rd word. Not hard to remember, right?

2) Register an account at Combat Ace if you don't already have one and post a response with the title of the thread and the word you've grabbed off of the 3Sqn site. Here's the catch: You must not post a duplicate that someone else has posted. If for some reason someone beats you to the post, go back to http://3sqn.com and pick another thread and word.

3) Feel free to post anything else you'd like to say (along with the thread title and word) that might catch the eye of the judges and make your post stand out.

4) Staff at Combat Ace and members of 3Sqn will make the final decisions on who the winners are.

Anyone from any country is invited to participate.

What do you think of A-10c Warthog Ruggs?

Probably too complicated for this old man.

If you liked Falcon 4 you'll like A-10. It's really friggin' cool.

It sounds cool, but i've always liked AA battles better. Falcon 4 won't run on my system that well. I don't think it's fond of Win 7.

I'm thinking FC2 might be better for me. Is it still popular, or has everybody turned to BS and A-10c?

How do you think my system will run FC2?

Intel i7 920 QC
3 GB Triple Channel 1333mhz DDR3
ATI 5870
Water cooled (Alienware)
Blah Blah

I'm sure the CPU can handle a good OC, and the memory is low. It worked great for race sims, but i'm not so sure about flight sims.

FC2 and A10 will both run well on your rig. Our squadron is flying FC2 as well.

Just the way it is, or should I OC the CPU and maybe more memory?

I like the new Thrustmaster Warthog controller for A-10c, but they sure aren't giving it away.

You probably won't need to O/C, I am however. I have a 950 at 3.71. Had it at 4.1 but the sim didn't like it there. You should get more RAM.

You're a strange one Ruggs. I ask questions about flight sims which I know you're passionate about, and get short one line answers.

Ask about some foolish political garbage and you write 3 pages.

WTF dude?

Nice one on the giveaway Ruggie :)

I won't enter as I could never use Track IR, but it's pretty cool that people are passing them on to the flight sim community and I might point a few people to your comp.

I think that is 2 or 3 posts I've said someting nice about Ruggbutt.

/awaits horsemen of the apocalypse. :D
