Ha. Hunting for the right button . Some of us are used to the keyboard and don't have to hunt for the right key :P Hey, I'm a touch typist, but with one hand on the joystick, I can't jump from the I key to the T key to the ~ key to the M key etc. without looking. Otherwise I'd accidentally hit the ...

Got the BoaCC! Full iron ass , except the cloaking device. Turns a bit too fast for my keyboard controls though. I hope I'll get used to it. I was in the same situation recently and I also picked the BCC and I couldn't be happier. The Python was such a pig the the BoaCC seems like a racer in compar...

I have a Logitech game pad for my PC but didn't even think of using it for flying. I'm old-school and I want a joystick. I picked up a Saitek ST290 for $20 and it works great.

I don't want to get up when I'm playing and the empty

Hi All. The computer was a C128, in C64 mode, back in about 1985. I bought it to play Flight Simulator, as I couldn't afford a real PC, but I spent most of my time playing Elite. After a particularly bad pirate fight, I'd love to relax to the tune of 2001 as my docking computer took me in. About 6 m...
