Like I said, you will find FC2 MUCH more forgiving in a higher G/higher airspeed configuration for a maneuver. 400kts at 3-4 Gs is very attainable now, whereas with FC1, 350/3Gs was about the max you would want to get. I can't wait to see that Diamond 360 of yours flown at real world params. Good lu...

Looks like/sounds like some sort of solo loop in between the delta burst and high bb.

I went from a 8800GTX to my current GTX 260 and found rather quickly that the PSU I had was not up to snuff, later to figure out that I was a good 6 Amps short on my rails. Got a better PSU and bam, I was cooking with gas.

Bingo! You've got 18Amp, 12Volt rails. In the readme that LD linked, while your overall wattage would be enough, the rails sending the current (+12V1/+12V2) are both 4 Amps short of the 22 Amps needed for your card. You need a new PSU!
