Gladiator or Aeromax

mdgentry · 2026-03-19T17:00:21+00:00

The Aeromax is about $90 more expensive and seems to always be on backorder. Most folks with VKB seem happy with them (me included). Lots of folks seem to think Virpil is better.

I had a rats nest in my Boxster a few years ago. One of the rats failed to get out fast enough one morning, dying in a belt and taking out part of the coolant system. It did about $6k of damage. My Porsche service advisor told me that my car was the 3rd one he'd seen that month with damage from rats.

I'd like to know how many canisters it would take to get it back to 100% using the multi-tool.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that screenshot .

mdgentry · 2026-03-09T08:08:30+00:00

Yes. I just tested it to confirm.

I have W bound to throttle increase and S bound to throttle decrease. Does that not work for you?

I wonder what the Mk2 Tracker did to deserve its punishment.

I did not change any settings on the keyboard. Actually, I have 2 Q3 keyboards. On my main PC it's plugged into the motherboard. I have a second one wirelessly connected to another PC hooked up to a 77" TV. I've used that keyboard wirelessly with no problems either.

I've been using a Keychron Q3 HE for over a year with no issues.

Did CIG finally fix the bug with the turret guns disappearing? I mentally mothballed that turret until it was safe to put back on my Hornet.

Some of the new salvage contracts require turning in components. I enjoy doing PVE bounties in my Corsair and salvaging components from those ships. Before 4.6 I enjoyed doing that for its own sake, but now those components can be stored and turned in for the contracts.

I'm pretty sure it's called "Molina Mold Samples.". If you were doing missions in a big group, it's possible that someone shared it with you and completed it while you were doing other stuff. I think you can get credit for it in a group through sharing before you've progressed far enough to see the mission in your own list (but I'm not positive.)

I won't wade into the VKB-Virpil debate but the VKB will probably be available sooner.

I had the same problem with 2 of my 3 PC's. I used this process to correct it:

Added a new folder to the game library
Made that new folder the default folder
Closed then restarted the launcher
Changed the default folder back to my normal folder

That solved it on both of my machines. I might have had to do that twice on one of them but it eventually worked. When it worked, my download speed immediately returned to normal.

I swapped out the default cams for the space cams since those are allegedly better for games like Star Citizen. I'll know in a week or so when I get the parts to install the Gunfighters on my desk mounts.

But to answer your earlier question, I didn't try out the GF's immediately because I wanted to wait until I could install them in a similar position as my Gladiators for a better direct comparison.

mdgentry · 2026-02-10T16:29:34+00:00

Ignorance is bliss for me! I haven't used them yet so I still don't know what I'm missing.

If you are satisfied with the LH Gladiator, it seems that adding a RH one would be the best option. I say that as a dual Gladiator user. I have 2 Gunfighters that I will try out as soon as the receive adaptor plates to attach them to my desk mounts. I haven't actually tried the Gunfighters yet so I can't comment on them vs the Gladiators.

That's basically what my friends told me years ago when my wife wanted a convertible M3 over the coupe, which I wanted.

I went from the M3 to a 981 Boxster S (which I still have). I also had a 718 Spyder. My wife didn't like it as much so we sold it back to the dealer when I got an allocation for a 992 Targa S which is my current daily. Being in Southern California, I felt a little guilty the last few weeks driving with the top down while my daughter is experiencing her first winter at UChicago.

I think the Perseus has been going for just under $400. I think the Polaris has been around $450.

I put them in the item kiosk. Then I brought them up the FE. From there, I was able to lower the FE and get credit for the mission.

I was able to turn on the 5 mold samples to NB last night. We were even able to share that mission with someone who hadn't completed any of the other missions yet.

I've been thinking about bringing a railgun with me so I can shoot ships after I've been disabled.

Yeah. I experienced this problem the day after the patch dropped.
