New toy

[epoch]

During a fit of madness yesterday, I went out and bought some of these (http://www.flightstore.co.uk/prod/SAIPFRP/).

The sure do make a great difference in-game. Controlling the KA-50 is a lot easier now. Even after playing only a short time, using the pedals becomes almost second nature. It makes turning a lot more stable and coordinated. The other bonus is less wrist ache from constantly twisting the joystick.

Tested in Lockon too.

Not an essential requirement by any means, but if you have the £, and want a new toy, then worth considering.

Nice...but nearly as much as my full X52 was when I bought it :D

So this is where everyone's £10/month goes, is it? ;)

Pfft, I wish I could afford that, LockOn, BlackShark, a nicer monitor... the list goes on...
instead, I stand there in the cheese aisle wondering if Mild chedder will be worth the 30p saving over Mature...
:D

[epoch]

Mature. Always go mature. Mild just isn't cheese - it's orange milk.

How deep you guys are getting into this blackshark stuff is getting a little scary now....

[Sadist_Cain]

remember what I was like with GWX? same thing without U-Boats, you can bet if my PC or If I could afford a PC that'd play these games, I'd be lost forever

[Vilhelm123]

Good god I do hope their isn't a mode were they need to be on standby for hours at a time.....

[SqnLdr]

You mock, but you want it so :)
At least, I do anyway...

I have now the mental image of Epoch with his trackIR baseball cap on sitting in some sort of fully kitted out cockpit playing black shark !!!!! lol whilst simultaneously admining the PR server

[epoch]

No baseball cap mate! TrackClip ;)

[cyberzomby]

lol nice! you have pedals and track IR! good stuff!

I cant say Im interested in black-shark the least! goes a bit too deep for me I'd say. I can imagine its fun with a few guys who are also interested in the game and flying these hefty multiplayer missions tho!

[Harrod200]

*imagines epoch setting the game running in on-call mode, wandering around the house for a couple of hours then sprinting back to his computer when claxons suddenly start screaming*

Your wrist ache is probably a result of other 'leisure' activities! :o

Wish I had time to play Blackshark!

They'll do whatever paint job you want for...lots more money :D

What would you possibly use those other circles for :O

Or rather, think of how many flashy cocktails this thing could hold ;)

[epoch]

What would you possibly use those other circles for

Champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and a bell to call my butler. I think it's perfect.

it looks a bit like an electronic drum kit !
