Press enter or move the mouse wheel up and down for Context sensitive options.

I find the Motion Blur fairly sickening (literally), turn it down and its cleaner. FPS is woeful at any detail setting at 5040x1050 for me with either 2x GTX260 (SLI) or 1x GTX280 (very overclocked..).
I think the issue is the game, not the hardware.

Running the latest patch (1.02.58134) and I can start in 5040 mode again (DX9 error gone).

Im using a mod to disable only the motion blur (it makes almost impossible to play with trackIR) and keep the other post processing effects.
Running all very high 5040x1050 , including AA, game is only "playable" at 15-20 FPS. Btw i still get the 5040 error even after the latest patch / fix 1.02.58134.

Anyone worked out how to move the HUD to the centre screen.
The bit with the flight data, height and speed?
I use TrackIR so everytime I check my speed or height coming into to land I start looking out the back of the helicopter instead of where I am trying to land.

Please shout out if you spot any suitable mods.

It is nice that this has a 'recruit' mode to get you back into it, ArmA 1 was a steep learning curve, but I did a few of the one offs in recruit to get into the swing of it and am really enjoying the campaign now, even with the invisible machine gunner and other bugs!

I am actually playing it on just one screen so I can crank up all the details to max and the distance too. With TrIR4 it ain't so bad, but I may give TH a go if a centre screen HUD mod arrives.

Arma 2 now has set aspect ratio to 12:3 even running at 5040x1050, it looks stretched, before i test it at 1680x1050 windowed it was set to "custom" at 5040x1050, and looked great. :cry:

Edit: K fixed, i set my ARMA2PROFILE at C:UsersHomeDocumentsArmA 2 file :

Code:
fovTop=0.8;
   fovLeft=4;

I have also noticed another video settings weirdness. When I change the settings in game (rather than at the main menu) sometimes it goes all blurry. When you are selecting the settings it looks fine

But when you go back into the game it goes like this

Probably the voice acting.
