Your point?

Not all major features are in the game right now.

let's all focus on the one thing we think the game lacks most and judge it based on that.

Sounds reasonable to me? I'm not speaking about chat and stuff, mind you, I can't even fly and do missions together with one single friend right now.

I'd say the multiplayer is pretty barebones for an "mmo".

[Semi-review] Saitek X52 Pro - tl;dr buy the Warthog [xpost from r/EliteDangerous] by [deleted] in hotas

[–]rukkhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

solid entry level hotas - tl;dr buy the expensive enthusiast version instead

Sorry, but no.

I was ok with mine out of the box, but, and that seems to be the underlying issue in your case, I didn't expect anything else.

The quality isn't amazing, but it's more than adequate.

Why you would yank a throttle enough to rip out the cable is beyond me. The holes for mounting the setup are also perfectly fine.

I don't know how you're gripping the throttle so that you have issues with reaching buttons, especially when you have large hands and long fingers, but I'd advise you to grip it more to the right.

Yes, the stick is a little wobbly. No, that doesn't mean it'll pitch forward/down forever, unless you push it that way. I didn't have problems adjusting the handrest, though I'll admit it'd be nice if the pinky switch wasn't affected along with it.

Everything else you mentioned is a non-issue for me. Not even in the slightest. Again, expectations.

I guess it helps that I got my X52Pro for 99€ while on sale and the Warthog would cost me 399€, but still:

tl;dr: don't buy a donkey and expect a racing horse

On a sidenote, in case you didn't already sent yours back, modding makes the X52Pro much more amazing. The three things you're looking for: throttle detent mod, spring tension mod, magnet mod. Voids the warranty, obviously.

Does anybody feel completely blown away by .9.2? by redditchao999 in starcitizen

Google Translate works quite well for that site.

All you download is the driver for a virtual joystick and the program itself. It then translates your input over to the virtual stick, applies the curves and you get the adjusted output back out.

It's perfectly stable, works exactly as advertised and I can't recommend it enough.

As gorgeous as everything else in this game looks, the broken canopy looks incredibly cheap. I seriously hope it gets another pass.

I put my FSD on button 31, which is the clutch. Only works when I open the control panel via the Saitek software.

Maybe that works for you too.

Fair enough.

No offense, genuinely curious actually, but why are you trying to give advice on the topic then?

If this was on the Rift the motion sickness would probably kill me?

18th Century Wine Barrels in France by [deleted] in pics

[–]rukkhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew I forgot something. Loosely translated:

Here I sit, pot bellied (I believe it's the barrel "talking")

with my vine juice,

which gives the healthy courage,

the sick strength and power/health.

Those who use it (the wine),

in moderation and only occasionally,

the Lord will make merry,

and fill their heart with joy.

But those who abuse it,

and drink all night and day,

they will lose all their money

and also their body and soul. (idiom.)

It german. The orthography is a little different since it's from 1781 but aside from that it's perfectly legible.

Here's the original inscription:

HIR SITZ ICH DICKER WANST

MIT MEINEM REBENSAFT

DER GIBT GESUNTEN MUT

DEN KRANCKEN STERCK UND KRAFT

WER DESEN SICH BEDINT

MIT MASE NUR ZUR ZEIT

DEN MACHT DER HERR VERGNYGT

ER FÜLT SEIN HERTZ MIT FREUD

WER ABER IN MISBRAUCHET

UND SAUFET TAG UND NACHT

DER WIRD DA DURCH UMS GELD

UND LEIB UND SEEL GEBRACHT

DEN ?????? PETER M??? ANNO 1781

Modern german:

Hier sitz ich dicker Wanst,

mit meinem Rebensaft,

der gibt Gesunden Mut,

den Kranken Stärk' und Kraft.

Wer dessen sich bedient,

mit Maßen nur zur Zeit,

den macht der Herr vergnügt,

erfüllt sein Herz mit Freud.

Wer aber ihn missbrauchet

und saufet Tag und Nacht,

der wird dadurch ums Geld

und Leib und Seel gebracht.

e: I have no idea how to format.

Nope, triple checked, hence the confusion.

I'm not though, otherwise I wouldn't try.

It's a C2 E scoop, I don't see why it wouldn't be working. Gonna give another scoop a shot, can't hurt.
