Thanks for the new build ! Noticed a bug though, the Function keys do not appear to be working correctly, F2 brings up the system info screen and F3 the chart screen, the number keys are working fine however. Not a biggie but though I should mention it. I'm on Windows 7 RC 64 bit if that is of any h...

I'm using the release candidate of Windows 7 64 bit on my desktop and 32 bit on my laptop and can confirm that Oolite appears to run fine on both, so long as latest graphics drivers are installed (Catalyst). I'll be downloading the RTM version from MSDN as soon as its available which I think is Aug ...

One of the reasons I went for the Cyborg X over the Aviator was the adjustable handle - the stick length and angle of the top buttons/pov hat can be adjusted to suit your hand - very useful and a lot more comfortable for extended flying/combat!

It has plenty of programmable buttons as well as dual throttle and works great with Oolite (had to map the PoV hat to F1-F4 though - I beli...

Noticed the nebula effect problem as well today, strange because I hadn't noticed it before and I hadn't installed any software or drivers recently. I'm running Windows 7 RC 64 bit with a 4770 card - Upgrading Catalyst to 9.7 seemed to do the trick though - everything is back to normal. Hopefully it...

I only found out about OOlite last weekend after playing 'Elite - A New Kind' for a bit of nostalgia and wondered if anyone had produced a version with updated graphics, and what did google throw up - Oolite. I've been running 1.72.2 on the Windows 7 Release candidate for a few days now - And have n...
