Oolite Bulletins

At least the joysticks and soundcards work under Windows;) This Thrustmaster joystick does not need any driver, I would expect it to work with Linux without any trouble. I'm pretty sure it does not support force feedback. It's quite new, until now I use it exclusively with Oolite. I've checked the ...

When cloaked you are invisible to other ships. So putting up the cloak will stop other ships attacking you and will also cause missiles to lose their lock on you. They can't see so can't attack you. It drains the energy banks though so you can't stay cloaked very long. Any kills you make cloaked al...

Sorry for the dumb question, but that's because, as you can guess from my name, English is not my mothertongue....

What is the cloaking device? What is't for?

Thanks for your explanation with simple basic terms...

The only thing I can say is the I'm tired to be burgled by Microsoft, being forced to pay for Windows (wich I really don't use) each time I buy a laptop... Thanks to Dell, now we can "DOWNGRADE" from Windows Whatever to FreeDOS... ha, ha, ha, you won't steal again my money, Mr. RichestManI...

Considering most people use curser keys anyway, would people really notice the fudge? I suppose they would. Well, I used the cursor key since the beginnig (Elite on ZX-Spectrum) but I have to say that with the joystick is another world... especially in combat... And joysticks nowadays are not the j...

I've not tried it on Linux yet, and don't ask me about it on Vista. I wouldn't touch Vista with your fingers! (And I suspect it, like damned near everything else, won't work on Vista. :evil: ) Considering your opinion about Vista, you will try Linux sooner than you think... just try with Ubuntu... ...

I have the Top Gun Fox2 Pro USB. Pasquale, is that the same as yours? I use it on Windows and have no problems with Oolite (okay, the cooliehat does not work). Linux does not support my soundcard, so I've never tried Oolite there. Yes, that's exactly the same, huge and heavy base, joystick with rud...

Don't know about Oolite on Mac because I don't have it. Neighter I know about Windows. I just tried the joystick to see if it works and I tested it with a game emulator called Mame. It was working perfectly without any driver or wierd configuration. Just plug and play. Considering that Oolite uses t...

The Thrustmaster works perfectly. I tried it on friend's Mac with Mame and it works also perfectly under Linux with 'jsconfigurator'. As I said the buttons are visible under Oolite while the axis are not interpreted. I know that it has nothing to do with Oolite and it's an abstraction layer provided...

Considering that after 4 day I havn't got any answer, I assume that nobody uses the Trusthmaster FOX2. I read in other posts that someone use the Logitec ATK II and Saitek ST290. Thus I decided to buy the Logitec, but I still would like to use my Trustmaster which is way better than the Logitec. I h...

Hello everybody, I'm new on this forum and a new (happy) user of OOLITE. I used to play with the original ELITE on ZX-Spectum and later with ELITE New Kind (that has disapperared from the network thanks to Dave Braben). After this short introduction let's go straight to the point. I just bought (for...
