Well, I'll need some time to set up the game again first.. not to mention rtfm!

3pm EST should be around 9pm GMT+1 right? That time is reasonably possible at least, good to hear. (yeah, I'm Europe based)

Hello all olds and news...

Through some other game I got remembered of this place and thought I'd check back in for a visit. I'm happy to see that my account has never been deleted, even after 6 years.
I must say, it was really shocking to realize that it's been that long since I joined up here. I ...

Thanks (once again) to BV, Deng and all the advisors for the time they invested in teaching a bunch of poor wanna-be newb pilots. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

It is also covered as one of the very first topics in the training missions. Those are not really helpful, but that is one thing they do explain.

I'm also using the "Mode1 + Pinkie switch" a lot. Like,
"Fire 1" = Shoots main weapon, while "pinkie switch + Fire1" = toggle main weapons
"Fire Button 2" = shoots missiles, while "Pinkie + Fire2" = drops mines
Stuff like that. The pinkie switch is one of my favorite functions of this stick ...

ah, great.

I've checked the registry and found the important part, but I wasn't sure it'd be worth it to change since I wanted to use a standard res. And since Allegiance obviously changes the registry keys of standard resolutions it seemed somewhat futile.

But if...

By request from ImmortalZ:

[...]
To the actual problem. I've started Allegiance yesterday evening and in the first game I played the res was 1024*768, a-ok. (Although I have no idea why the game suddenly begins to save this value just after you have pointed out it should. /unsure.gif" style ...

I just weighed both pieces so I can give you some absolute values, they are both about 1kg. I usually don't have problems with sliding of the joystick itself, although admittedly the throttle could be a bit heavier. The good thing is you can set the resistance of the throttle piece itself, which ...

Ah yes, I've seen the CH product line when I looked for a good joystick myself. I guess that's good stuff they make, but it's a wee bit too expensive for my likings.

I went for this instead. It was just 90€ in a store just next to me, definitly more affordable to a poor student than 300$ for the CH ...

My joystick has 3 HATs as well (we talking about a Saitek toy here, by chance?). I'm using one for looking around, one for targeting (4-way button) and one for thrusters (8-way button). Programming the thruster was kind of an issue, I had to fiddle with the (joystick's) tools for about 30mins to get ...
