That doesn't work if you have a setup with pedals like my X41. The stick always seems to control roll and the pedals yaw... makes combat hard. I have winXP so I can't use their program to adjust the axes yet... damn joo saitek.... But I usually just let the AI do the fighting sometimes.

Speaking of long dev times...... *coughteamfortress2cough* The really good thing about 3000ad titles is that us rabid fans get to talk to the Developer on a regular basis so we get a general feel for how close to r-day things get. With some other companies it's like trying to talk about Area 51. [ 11-20-2002, 05:38 AM: Message edited by: CedricB ]

Lt. Cedric Boseman Personal Log Location: Sol, Saturn Shields: 100% Hull: 100% Condition: GREEN Things with the flight engineers have been getting better and better lately. Mostly because we've had a mutual target for our hate: our new commander. Ususally we spend time hating each other. I fly too hard, they fix it, scold me not to fly hard, repeat. Now, we BOTH hate this guy. Week in week out we're off doing drills. I'd have to say that our reaction time is getting better, much better than it probably was. Pirates and the baddies here generally don't do things fast enough to out run my Zodiac, so I do spose we got kinda complacent.... but this is getting to be too much. We got a pool going to see how long before someone pulls a practical joke on this guy. Wait, someone's at the door... Looks like I lost. I was giving him another week, but someone did the ol lubricant in the shampoo just now. It'll take him a buzz to fix his hair now. OOC: The one and only fighter pilot is still alive and kicking and waiting eagerly for MP...

Bah....... I'm here....... I've been out of circulation for a while, what's the deal with the MP patch? But I'm here and reporting for duty..... I'll post the profile later. [ 09-23-2002, 12:27 AM: Message edited by: CedricB ]

Does the current programing architecture (sp?) allow for multiple monitors to be used to split the 3 MFDs from the main screen? Or even a 4th to run the tactical computer? MSFS2002 has a similar module called WideFS that uses other computers on a network (the server actually the one the use actually plays FS2002 on) to run multiple monitors for panoramic views with one client PC for each monitor. A company called Project Magenta (www.projectmagenta.com) has software that can run the digital displays for home-made glass cockpits. I was considering undertaking the task of building a home-made cockpit for FS2002 and thought that a similar cockpit for BCM would be absolutely awsome! You could probably build a small bridge with helm/weapons, sensors/Flight commander for the larger ships. Just wondering if you ever might implement some sort of system to allow such a thing to happen.

I'm still here... the lonely fighter pilot... just waitin for that MP patch... I'll be around a lot more once it comes out.

whoosit?

Whosit? Whatsit? All I know, is that I'm the ONLY active ISS fighter pilot!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEE HA!!!!!!!

Yo!

Well, since no one else seems to have posted anything. I'm here!

Third World Emerging Markets: You have two cows, a coup errupts and the UN Peace keepers come in and accidentally kill your two existing cows. After an interim government is set up, a venture capitalist from a 1st world company hires you for $5 a week and gives you two cows. All is well, until someone assasinates the interim president. The venture capitalist freaks and takes the two cows back. [ 04-19-2002, 15:13: Message edited by: CedricB ]

You guessed right GreyFox... We got another game going on this weekend. Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll give you the particulars. We're going to meet at 9am at the Santa Fe and play all day. Don't forget the British Sten Machine-gun was also held by the magazine.... Speaking of terminology, Me and my buddies just call em "mags" for short. Many times has profanity been uttered when Hi-capacity mags have failed..... Mostly by me... When you can't trust the equipment, battle sucks really fast and hard.

Hey Akuma! Check out the Gloves and Holly link in my sig!!! We'd love to have you!

Oopsie... sorry about that SC... I fixed it. The 6mm BBs (measure it) don't hurt all that much, but that sniper rifle just ain't koshier. It pushes 560fps with metal bbs... hurts like heck. The others usually push around 300-400fps but when the mass of the bb is around .2g-.25g it doesn't hurt nearly as much as a big ol .68cal paintball. A few people play with a face mask but I don't like the feel. Ep5... sue me. If I hit, it doesn't matter how I'm holding the gun. It doesn't have that much recoil do it didn't matter. You can check out www.redwolfairsoft.com to check out the guns for sale... they have just about everything and all the real-steel accesorites (sights, lasers, lights) will fit these. Tac-vests are also a must have! Do a general search on yahoo for Airsoft and you'll find some very good sites. [ 04-01-2002, 18:13: Message edited by: CedricB ]

What's wrong with the BCC? Anyways, how about seperate threads for different months for the log files?

Well... I've been there a while and I'd say that I like it a lot! Keep up the good work people!

On this hollowed day of the 1st of April, I give a special recognition award to our favorite scape goat of them all.... RESNIG Here's to thinking about spacing you.... *Post your own remarks here*

Well... I recently had the chance to try out the wonderful sport of Airsoft.... What is Airsoft? Like paintball with the following differences: 1. The Guns, clips, and accesories all look real 2. You shoot 6mm BBs at one another from 250-560fps 3. It does not hurt as much and no paint mess. 4. Therefore, it requires more honesty. Here are some pics for you to enjoy! Me! http://www.fear.net/~elbarto/sadf/16mar/jon.JPG http://www.fear.net/~elbarto/sadf/16mar/jon02.JPG The thing I fear most, Wes and his sniper rifle. Hurts like a mother when it hits. http://www.fear.net/~elbarto/sadf/16mar/wesghil.JPG There they are! GET EM!!!! http://www.fear.net/~elbarto/sadf/16mar/kneal.JPG The whole gang http://www.fear.net/~elbarto/sadf/16mar/group02.JPG [ 04-01-2002, 18:03: Message edited by: CedricB ]

Resnig - Further proof of the stratification of intelligence from Enlisted personel to Officers... *sigh*

Check this out.... I don't know if it has been discussed yet. If you are closer than HyperJump minimum range to a planetoid, if you target the planet and initiate a jump, it will ask if you want to make planetfall. If you say yes, you will immediately teleport to the planet and make planetfall! Good way to get away from an enemy station when you're getting whacked pretty hard.

Uh oh! BeWalt.... fix your sig dude! You need to put your sys profile in it! Just a friendly reminder.

Well... I posted a new topic a while ago about a few ideas I had... didn't get much of a response though.... I'm here boss!

Don't feel bad... I saw a station that had be recently attacked and it's sheild was WAY down, nearly gone.... So I jumped over in my little Sunflash and was promptly cleaned from the sky....... Mental note: If no sheild penetration occurs, then no physical damage has been sustained. Oops. I also ran into a station in my Firestorm to flee an enemy force. I repaired myself, launched, and promptly forgot to re-raise my shields. It was a sad death.....

Getting ideas from Libya again eh?

on another note... now that stations engage targets at the same distance that you jump in at (i.e. you hyperjump to a station only to get blasted while coming out of warp) does anyone have a good idea on how to approach them?
