That is why I have voice attack + an HCS Voice pack. :) It remembers everything for me. There still are some hotas things I have to remember, but a lot of those are still muscle memory. The HCS Voice packs ship with a handy reference pdf as well that I can look over and quickly find a voice command if I’ve forgotten what it is.
Has anyone played around much with the new(ish?) commodities market interface? I haven’t done anything besides sell off some things I’ve mined, but it looks like now it is capable of doing things in game like finding you a location where you can sell a good you are buying.
VR-related question. I’m considering picking up an Oculus Rift for this but prefer to be sitting and use a controller. I assume this is still an enjoyable way to play the game? I’m more interested in the visual immersion of VR rather than the arms etc.
The yaw on my t.16000m is all messed up again, so stuck with trying to figure out flying with an xbox controller. Basically doing touch and goes with a sidey.
It seems that finding fcs sticks on their own is fairly rare these days, with most people just selling the throttle + fcs pack or the dual fcs pack. I did manage to find some at bhphoto so I might break down and buy another. I might even splurge on the dual back just to have one in reserve since I can reverse the left hand one with the parts on the one I have if they don’t ship those with the parts for reversing them.
Yeah, I pulled it apart last night. Pulling it all apart and putting it back together seems to have at least temporarily made it stop trying to yaw to the right all the time. We’ll see how long it lasts.
I read up to the part where he mentioned soldering, and started skimming after that. A couple of years ago I took apart my X52 stick to clean the twist-axis pot, which started spiking badly. While opening it up I snapped the plastic spindle that held the trigger in place, which I had to superglue back together, and then nearly broke the grip trying to reassemble it afterwards. Why do companies make these sticks so hard to maintain?
If you’re looking for a replacement stick, check out the VKB Gladiator. I believe it uses the same contact-less sensors as its more expensive Gunfighter siblings, which could make it the only stick in its price range with no pots.
I threw my in the trash many years ago. Please forgive me @BrianRubin.
The t.16000m has worked pretty well, and I’m not sure there is anything better in that price range in production. I’m seriously considering buying the 2 stick package just to have backup. The vkb stuff looks nice, but it is in the warthog price range and I just don’t play enough to warrant that.
I think the only way you will get at the yaw pot is by taking the handle apart, which isn’t too bad. The trickiest part I ran into was these little membrane switch things that sit between the switches at the top and the PCB. To get it to stay in place on the bottom of the switch as I was putting it back in I ended up putting a tiny dab of Elmer’s glue.
