  1. I went from a Logitech Freedom joystick (I don't care what people say about Logitech, that was a pretty awesome little joystick) to a CH setup. And it's definitely awesome. It's not as flashy as the X52 by any means, but it's so smooth and well built. But yeah, they sort of screw you as far as a rudder goes. You're pretty much forced to buy pedals, which is another $100+. So you're looking at a setup that costs roughly $320 versus a setup that costs about $100 (from Amazon, which seems cheaper than some other places out there). It's up to you whether or not you want to pay that much more for a stick. I view it as a long term investment. I don't see me needing to upgrade any of this any time soon and with CH's quality record, I don't see it breaking down on me (which I had issues with when I owned an X45). After that X45, I pretty much decided to stay away from Saitek products as quality control isn't their strong point.
  2. I don't know if it's a legit site or not, but mimeo.com seems to offer a 50% discount for first time buyers. Premium white paper (estimated 600 pages) with spiral binding came out to be $90. Glossy white paper was $130. update: After uploading the PDF, a color copy with premium white paper, spiral binding with holes punched for a binder, and a "frosted cover and black back," the total comes out to be $77.82. That's with the slowest turnaround time. If you want it quicker, it'll cost you closer to $112 or so. Make sure you apply the discount before you purchase it.
  3. Well, I fixed it and I don't know how. A friend emailed me his lua files and I edited them to match my resolutions and it solved my problem.
  4. So I tried to follow the wiki link posted above, and I can't seem to get it to work. When I get into the game (Actually in the game, not the launcher), the game screen is stretched over to the secondary monitor. No ABRIS or anything, just more of the cockpit and such. It's as though it's running at an extremely high resolution (everything is zoomed in). I have 2 monitors running at 1680x1050. From what I understand, my phantom monitor needs to be the same resolution (so the width would be 5040, right?) Aspect is 4.8. ["graphics"] = { ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "multi2", ["color"] = "32", ["heatBlr"] = 1, ["scenes"] = "medium", ["water"] = 2, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["visibRange"] = "High", ["aspect"] = 4.8, ["textures"] = 2, ["shadows"] = 3, ["display_mode"] = { ["avi"] = { ["bpp"] = 32, ["resolution"] = "640x480", ["full_screen"] = false, ["aspect"] = 1.333333333, ["height"] = 480, ["width"] = 640, }, -- end of ["avi"] }, -- end of ["display_mode"] ["effects"] = 3, ["lights"] = 2, ["haze"] = 1, ["terrPrld"] = "20", ["height"] = 1050, ["resolution"] = "1680x1050", ["civTraffic"] = 0, ["width"] = 5040, My multi monitor stuff: Description = 'ABRIS and Shkval on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = 1680 y = 0; width = 1680; height = 1050; viewDx = 0; aspect = 1.6; } } Shkval = { x = 4200; y = 0; width = 840; height = 525; } ABRIS { x = 3360; y = 0 width = 840 height = 1050 } By the way, my primary monitor is on the left, secondary is on the right. I can't figure out why it is stretching the actual cockpit/gameplay screen, and not placing the ABRIS and Shkval over on the right monitor.
