Apparently it is a bug..... go figure. The advanced menu for joysticks only appears in the EPTU universe, it won't appear on the main menu or in AC. I was able to confirm that it will show up in the 3.23 EPTU-PU. Guess I will set up the majority of the profile in 3.22 and then fine tune it in...

Anyone else notice that the joystick profiles, both custom and "generic", are missing from the 3.23 EPTU build. Not sure if it is something with my system missing files or if they really are not there.

I was able to get it to work. They added a couple more layers of options/sliders to it that can make it not work correctly. Apparently adding layers of complexity to simple systems that worked fine how they were are part of this new patch.

I was waiting on 3.23 to drop since I was hearing there were quite a few keybind changes and wasn't sure how that would affect joysticks. Of course, 3.23 would drop on my "Monday", so won't be able to even look at it until Sunday. I have just been doing research on particular pieces of the...

Finally got a chance to check out 3.23 for a little while before work and first thing I noticed is that the Tobii Eye tracker no longer tracks my eyes. I tried setting it to only track eyes, no head movement, and it still wouldn't track my eyes, only my head movements. As a sanity check I went...

I definitely want one. It would come in handy keeping our personal hangars clean. Everyone need to go click the fake "Buy" button so CIG goes "Oh, shit.... everyone actually wants one!!"

Finally got all my virpil component set up on my flight sim seat. Got worried when I couldn't get the joystick to work: ended up being I selected the wrong version of grip and needed to switch it and get the profile saved with the correct one. Finished the rough wiring, think I will switch to 3d...

I'm still trying to decide if I want to completely customize the profile or get something already set up.

My Virpil components should be here in a couple of days. Went with a joystick for right, throttle and a command pad for left and rudder pedals. Have a good idea of the basic setup I am going to use, then will add extra stuff as it comes up.

Not sure how many can make it into the EPTU, so might be best to wait until 3.22 goes live, but maybe we should start setting up ops for different professions. Mostly starting this post to start the discussion. We should try to set them up a few times a week, for people like me who have...

I had a BMM, but decided to go with something else since it didn't seem like it would be around for quite a while. I am also starting to look at it from the "how am I going to find enough people to man this ship", like I did with the Orion that I did want to get.

Um, no, I didn't realize I could just take a shortcut rather than try to remember what I have and which versions they are ;p I just looked again, I don't see that menu you are referring too. Not sure what you did to pull that up.

My post IAE fleet, think I still missed a couple.

I could see a snare, teamed up with an EMP with a good range, a very effective system. EMP would need to stay so that the snare ship is outside its sphere of influence.

Anyone else notice the 5? (think it was 5) cargo bays on the lower section of the Carrack that are set up a lot like the caterpillar's, except for the fact you can't use the damn things because there are no doors. I really hope they finally fix this because that is a lot of wasted space that...

I currently use the Logitech x56 HOTAS, thinking up upgrading to a Virpil setup, but still a HOTAS. I am more industrial that "fighter pilot", though I do enjoy doing bounty hunter type missions. HOTAS is better for play where you are not making many 'off axis" (outside of main stick X/Y/Z)...

Is "flying safe" even possible with the suicidal Kamikaze NPCs around here???

I got the point where I had to look at all the ships I wanted and decide: 1) is it practical for my type of gameplay 2) will I actually be able to use is (multi-crew, etc.) 3) will I actually live to see it put in the game?? Dropped a few of the ships I wanted from my list, at least for now...

The main idea of the Ares ships is a "smaller", single seat fighter, designed for taking out much larger ships. They are not supposed to do well against light or even medium fighters. Their role is to go after ships that are Hammerhead size and up. Those ships would have a hard time hitting an...

I came across a video on Youtube about how to set up your computer for SC. Can't recall the name offhand and not in a position to go look for it, but I would think you could find it easy enough. If I remember correctly it wasn't that old, maybe 6months or so. Though I haven't messed with it...
