Flagrum Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Haven't seen (read) much of you lot lately (so, Happy New Year [2014]!). I know you are incredibly busy with ... stuff.

fjacobsen Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well they have managed to get the Huey out of beta, though some announced features still are missing :music_whistling::cry: Progress on the MI-8 seems quite slow, so I really hope it´s not because they allready have started developement on something else with developers who are needed on the MI-8. I'm happy to support them by buying early acces to beta versions, but also want to see those beta versions mature into full release versions.

Lizzard Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 There are loads of tweaks and updates we are waiting for, and not just for the Huey...and I guess BST/ED have a really hard time facing a Comunity screaming for gimmicks and spamming wishlists..so..it comes sooner or later..the only thing that keeps really anoying me are the unsolved and sometime even ignored Bugs..

sondo214 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Something irrelevant, but I will ask. I saw the upcoming saitek x-55 hotas. Is there any possibility that someone out there thinks to build a new Force Feedback joystick in the future? Heli sims need FF stick. We have many hotas and don't know what else, but not a serious ff stick. Logitech G940 was the last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrim Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yep, totally a question for BST, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sondo214 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Wouldn't be nice that BST, or Eagle Dynamics or someone else from the DEV's to develop a joystick too? Edited February 26, 2014 by sondo214 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sondo214 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That would be the best thing has happened in pc sims in years. I bet that everyone would buy one. Cant understand why anyone hasnt thought it by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrim Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Because the skills and marketing people you'd need are so vastly different from those for making air sims that they'd end up making a loss because either the price of the joystick wouldn't be high enough to cover expenses, or it would be high enough, in which case few would buy it.

scrtagnt69 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 What someone smart person needs to do is invent a universal force feedback attachment that can be connected to ANY joystick :joystick: And further in a way that the joystick can still be cockpit mounted between your legs like the current TM warthog :thumbup: That would be awesome.

b00ce Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Any aircraft with a mixing unit or any kind of SAS (IE any modern aircraft, fixed or rotary) would need force feedback on everything, pedals, cyclic and collective. Take the blackhawk for example, with the mixing unit you cannot move the cyclic to the right very far without it forcing the collective down and moving the pedals as well.

GunfighterSIX Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You dont need force feed back, they can just reduce the effects of the forces acting on the helicopter. For example they just wont put in a large TRQ effect. This will help to simulate the MMU's "Collective to Yaw" function with out needing to have force feed back. Keep in mind that the the MMU is also backed up by other systems that put input directly into the the rotor and not the flight controls, so force feed back is not needed there ether. The point is that there are a lot of work arounds to the MMU that will still allow for a realistic simulator.

Flagrum Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Erm, friends, can we keep this thread on topic a bit more? My intent was to get a specific question answered by BST - let's keep it at least to "questions for BST".

Flagrum Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't get it ... do we really have to PM everyone (which very likely - but understandably - will be ignored anyways?) in order to get a tiny bit of attention? Even Wags these days is more silent than he used to be. I can really only hope that all this is a sign for something big, really big is coming.

hansangb Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm not defending the devs, but think about it from their perspective. Everything they *hint* at in a public forum takes on a life of its own and morphs into "ironclad guarantee it'll be released" So I can see why interacting on a public forum can be difficult. I'm in product dev, so let's just say that I feel their pain! :) hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagrum Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 What I don't get is, do they this deliberately or are they really so overwhelmed with work that they really don't find the peace to go through the forums every odd week for an hour or so? And in both cases, the question "why is that so?" also comes to mind... Until then, I feel being treated inpolitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
