what pedals did you have by the way?
Click to expand...

Saitek Cessna Pro, only got them over the CH pedals (which would have worked better with my throttle - pair as one device) as they were on special and TBH the CH ones felt a little too close together, but miles better quality.

Basically because I was a cheapskate lol
 
Yeah hearing a lot of good things about it, I can't be bothered putting the PTU on, it'd literally not finish downloading until Monday/Tuesday lol

Floatingdolphin - does this mean we might see you on one of the 10 for the... vids? ;)
 
I was thinking more as a regular on AtV seeing as we get trips to various studios, if Derby is now one I'm guessing *poke* we're getting an update with you lot soon ;)
 
I very nearly bought a Delan clip, even though I have a Tracklip pro I hate having to have it plugged in. In the end I found a way to attack the trackclip (unpowered reflector) to my headphones but when I'm not on teamspeak I just use my baseball cap instead ( http://imgur.com/a/ONYWo ) work better than anything else I've found oddly enough lol

Even with TrackIR there's tweaking to be done tbh, why I think so many of the free or much cheaper alternatives are pretty much just as good, just generally means a little less faffing about with trackir.

In Star Citizen it's not working at the moment, will be again soon hopefully as I REALLY miss it in the cockpit!
 
You aren't looking away from your screen, merely moving your head. try moving it 10 degrees left or right - your eyes stay on the screen. It only takes a couple of minutes to get the hang off it, before you know it you're looking around the cockpit like your inside.

Don't get me wrong having used both DK1 and 2 I can say that TrackIR etc are not a replacement to them, will not provide the immersion that they do - but it's not that far off and for me at least it's more comfortable. Maybe I'll grab VR in a few years but right now I don't find them comfortable enough to wear for 2-3 hours at a time.
 
Yeah I loved it in ED, was shocked by how good it is. The popularity of EDTracker and similar devices speaks volumes for how much fun it is. It felt very similar in SC even when it wasn't officially supported but someone managed to find a tweak to make it work, it was a bit buggy but still worked.

PaulC2K - TrackIR isn't future tech, it's been around for years as have most of the free alternatives. with triple 1080UW you have the horizonal FOV covered but not the vertical and not the Z axis, with head tracking you can look around, lean forward, lean back etc it allows you to look more closely at screens in games and even put your head around objects (Euro truck simulator - put your head out the window when reversing lol)

Until you try it you won't really grasp how much of a game changer it is and it only gets better the more screen you have to play with.
 
oh dear!

Vanguard is in-game and flyable now btw. Latest patch seems to have resolved quite a few issues but as always added a couple more. I'm still patching.. only 10 hours to go lol
 
Just ran through VS solo in the Vanguard, it's surprisingly maneuverable for such a large craft and can take a ton of damage. Not convinced it won't be tweaked though (some might call it nerfed) later.
 
I guess it's the like vanduul ships they're much slower than they are meant to be too.

guess they have to release it better than expected after the backlash for the vanduul ships which were the opposite and er still are lol
 
Lots of whinging about it, surprisingly about it being underpowered, yet I was two-shotting Scythes with it earlier and obviously without a gunner for the 4x M4As on the turret.

Also far too much comparison with the Super Hornet going on, two entirely different ships designed for different roles.. some people love to jump in on problems with unfinished or unbalanced ships (which is most ships IMHO!)
 
Honestly I don't see the problem with the guns being under powered, got through all wave of VS without dying once, was two -shotting scythes frequently and what people seem to forget is they aren't getting the use of those 4xM4As yet, add those in and it's an absolute beast.
 
The Vanduul Glaive now has cruise speed of 1080.
The Vanduul Glaive has received a significant increase to ship health.

^^ This makes me happy, sort of. Would rather have had it handle slightly better.
