Oolite Bulletins

If I recall correctly, the throttle cable terminates with a standard 3.5mm stereo plug, so an extension should be easy to do. This is a great piece of news... Helps building my scifi cockpit a tad easier. Got an inspiration from this thread . I dismantled an old gamepad and rewired the buttons to m...

Ah, now my bloody Extreme 3D went and broke completely. I had to set a 60% deadzone on all axes, quite useless now... I just ordered a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X , it will probably arrive in early January. From what I've read it's a good, affordable entry-level HOTAS system. Only serious downside...

Sontarans seriously tickle my humour glands... Also "sonta" is Finnish for crap

I went to see the movie yesterday with Mrs. Thermonuklear(she hasn't read the book yet o_O). Great movie, too much fighting and general mucking about though. I had a hard time to not think of Bad Taste/Braindead at times. I liked the beginning more than anything else, poor Bilbo and the looming thre...

Done right, this might be a potential solution for the perennial problem some Commanders have... what to do with the mountain of Credits they keep accumulating. :twisted: Equipping stations is quite a fun game in itself... I'll tell you a little story: Some time ago I made some skillful trading dea...

Ioannis' suggestions sound like something from Mount & Blade . The gameplay gets very place-oriented when a lord presents you a fief or a castle of your own. There's always a siege coming, no more adventures around the map etc. Dare I say it was a bore! I loved roaming around the world battling ...

Ah-ha! I didn't notice to save my game after storing the configuration... Thank you! That did the trick. Now I can hear the Dalek commanding me "Docking authorization denied, leave now or be exterminated!"

I have a problem with the "radio chatter" option. I wanted to test a little soundpack I recorded for AudibleDockingClearance OXP, and the chatter made listening quite difficult. But no matter what twisted magicks I tried, the voices would not go away. When I access and change the settings ...

Not a bad price... When I bought my Extreme 3D a few years back, the price was something around 30 €(~25£). It's a good stick, but issues axis-wise are bound to emerge. In my stick, the Z-axis started acting up after a while, X and Y shortly after that. Now I have a 15-20% deadzone on all axes. The ...

I made a small soundpack with Dalek-ish voices. The harsh, imperative tone makes you abide!

Ha, that's great to hear! And yes, the game is very enjoyable. Felt just like when I first played Elite in 1994... I was nine years old back then, didn't know a word of English, but still loved the game deeply. 3D graphics and all! On an Atari ST! Big stuff, I had mostly played Tapper on my ZX Spect...

This game looks very promising. Hopefully Notch makes an attempt to optimize his code this time around... Thinking his earlier resource hog of a game(Minecraft), I feel a bit worried.

Hello. I took the liberty of adding myself to the pinmap, even though my account is only minutes old.
The forum seems friendly enough to hang out often, so why not... I've heard talk that this is the nicest message board this side of Riedquat.
