  1. I'm thinking about that but the shipping + customs fees are ridiculous.

    TIR4 PRO + TrackClip PRO = $184.9

    Shipping = $51.33

    Custom fees (30%) = $55.47

    TOTAL = $291.7

    So more than one third is fees:(. That's why eDimensional was good (international orders).

     

    Dagger98, where do you live? I would try ebay, in ebay Germany there are several dealers at the moment, one sells for 159 Euro, no shipping costs to Germany - I guess they wouldnt't charge too much for shipping to other countries.

  2. Maybe you want to try the new 162.18 drivers for XP. I installed them on my 7800 GTX and they seem to work fine. Good fps in LockOn and FSX and the readme says, that they fixed some graphics corruption in LockOn for 7 series cards. Don't know however if they do anything to other cards.

    And for those who play IL2: The black ring in the water is history now:thumbup:

  3. Some beta testers who run TB already have (aparantly) but as they are covered by their non-disclosure agreement, they cant show me any of it.

     

    One day i`ll get to fly in Black Shark.... one day REALLY soon I hope....

     

    Considering what you have done for the community by developing TouchBuddy (and what's even more: for free) you oughta get a copy of Black Shark from ED for free. And meanwhile ED and all beta testers should give you any beta versions and support you need.

  4. Hi all,

    anybody been on the Ergodex website lately to search for Vista drivers for the DX1? If not: Save your time, you will probably never get them:mad:

    On their homepage the question is not "When will I get Vista support from Ergodex", the question is "What can I do to get Vista support". And the answer they give you inbetween the lines is simply: Go and buy our pad again, but the new one we distribute via CH Products. They refuse to comment on any plans wether or not the DX1 will be supported by Vista - and for me that's a rather clear: No, it won't be:mad:

    Man, I bought the DX1 1.5 years ago and spent a lot of money for that thing that I don't need anymore since TouchBuddy came out - and now I can put it in the garbage can. If you complain in their forums, your postings are deleted shortly after:huh:

    You decide for yourself what consequences you see from that "customer support". I for myself will never again spend a dime on Ergodex products, and now they work together with CH I'm not so sure about CH anymore. Just thought I'd spread the word (and I hope many more will do on other forums).

  5. No chance for me:mad:

     

    Ironhand, I also can't reach your site. Just wondered why I see only the "red X" in your sig, tried to klick on it...and also get an error message (website cannot be displayed blabla...).

     

    What the hell is going on here? Does anybody else have similar problems?

     

    By the way, my provider is the german 1&1 Internet AG. They seem to have very big problems the last few weeks with internet phoning and internet availability. Could it be, that it is their fault, that I can't reach some websites, but others work fine?

     

    Oh, and I'm using IE7 at the moment, but IE6 on another machine also doesn't work.

  6. AMD FX-60 here with 2 Gigs of nice OCZ RAM and XFX 7800 GTX 512.

    And FSX is a real pain. Up to now I regret having bought it. You have to turn everything so much down to achieve somewhat acceptable FPS, that it looks like FS2004 and still has worse FPS.

    Guess that may change with Vista and DX10, but, on the other hand, this will also demand a new graphics card. :(

    I was so lucky with my rig and LockOn, and now FSX comes out and Blck Shark is going to come (and surely eat some more resources than FC) - bah, I hate these annual hardware upgrades (and don't ask my wife about that :music_whistling: )

  7. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I can remember that there was a problem when downgrading to an earlier version. This could be solved by running the attached "Lockon.bat" once instead of Lockon.exe. This will run the also included "deleteobsoletefiles.bat". Maybe you want to give it a try.

    But please make a copy of your LockOn folder first, I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong :music_whistling:

    lockon.zip

  8. This new system will surely be a big improvement over your current one, but don't expect to have found the Holy Grail with it. Dual-core makes no sense for Lock On.

    And do you really want to get a GeForce 5900 or was that just a typo?

    End of last year I bought a new "dream"-system, FX60, GeForce 7800 GTX 512, 2 Gig's of RAM...well, nice FPS most of the time, but still not possible to max out everything and constantly have a fluid gameplay. Also smoke and explosions still give a big FPS hit. And I'm afraid that Black Shark won't give us a performance improvement.

  9. Definitely TIR and Touchscreen with TouchBuddy; couldn't do without them anymore.

    Hotas is nice to have, but not essential. Though I have an X52 I could live with an ordinary joystick, especially because the ministick doesn't work too well for target designating (it did on the X45, so that one was a big step back for Saitek).
