Very nice picture Harry

Thanks

uuuuugh can't wait for 3.0 to come.

In good news my new mouse came and it's without a doubt a lot better built than that razer rubbish. + it has a gimicky oled screen that i can doodle on in software or load gifts that have actually turned quite useful for knowing the correct profile is loaded. For instance now once i boot SC up a space invaders gif pops up of the ship so i know that the profile has auto loaded. Or when im on my desktop a doodle saying " worzel loves celine " pops up.

Have to say though i always knew that mouse sensors were important but the difference going from that 4g nonsence in the adder and a optical3360 is fantastic.

The Avenger does Crackle and pop like that, sounds awesome

Yeah it sounds amazing! i really need to go and watch one of the larger sized rockets launch one day. I suspect hearing it/seeing it in person is much different

Looking for some help guys,

I'm currently flying in SC with the Warthog HOTAS and using the gimbal cannon on my Vanguard Warden is a PITA.

I've removed the canon and gimbal mount from the ship in the hanger but I cant seem to attached any other weapons in fixed mount mode.

Should any S5 or lower gun just attach directly to the S5 slot under the nose, or does it have to be equipped with a mount of some kind before the weapon will attach?

Cheers

You can press right alt + j to lock the gimbals btw

I need to make myself a giant poster of great star citizen shortcuts because i had no idea about that. Still though why lock some S4 gimbals when you can just have locked S5? in most cases.

That was my logic; lose the gimbal gain a weapon size anyway as I wanted it fixed.

I used these keyboard layouts, printed them out on A3 at work.

Doesn't help that they keep changing the damn controls lol

I'm probably going to make a Roccat Powergrid for gimbals etc when I get a moment. All the controls that I use but can't justify on stick/throttle basically.

I have SC for a good few hours, and I have been active in this thread a little while now, browsing for a lot longer.

Burnt what in gods name is a Gimbal?!

Yeah i was playing last night trying to explain the basics of controls to someone and it is easy to forget how many we have become accustomed to given how many buttons there actually are.

Odd i got alerted that yo was posting literally as i was typing in here haha. I played with Wes last night! He seemed to enjoy it despite a few bugs and issues. Hoping they didn't put him off.

To anwer your question it's easier to explain how a weapon works without a gimbal first.

Put a weapon on a ship without a gimbal and it will stay pointing in the way you installed it so to aim at a target you have to lead your shots with your nose ahead of the enemy. With a gimbal the weapon can move with your input. So you can move the weapon around without moving the ship around.

how do you play star citizen? how do you earn items / money??

Raumarik · 19 Apr 2017 at 22:32

It's still in alpha mate, you can earn points (called REC) to spend on loan components and ships to try out and you can earn alpha cash (aUEC) in the test persistent universe although right now all you can do is buy armour and weapons.

I only want to buy ammo and weapons

I know it's alpha, I don't care much for resets
