Evochron Legacy, started as a miner changed my ship so I have 6 cargo bays and make some money mining diamonds and platinium. My plan is to make some more money, buy a bigger frame and the start exploring and maybe some combat...

This game hates Windows 10. I can't get any device to friggen work. Thinking about getting a refund.

[Dammit Carl!]

Shoveling snow is my most current pastime  :P

I'm right now launching Waiting 1.0 before I engage Snowblower 2.0 later this afternoon.

As long as the white shit stays light and fluffy I'm not overly worried. It's when the temp creeps up over 32* that I start hating life.

[Huw the Poo]

Sod all.  Out of town for the weekend. :(

Sorry to hear JH. I'm on Win 10, but not using my normal sim gear (CH). I will test it out tomorrow.

(insert list of games^TM here)

Just Naval Action at the moment.  And shoveling snow.  And keeping the wood stove running well.

Hi JH

I just tried my TrackIR and CH gear. My CH profiles are normally programmed so that each piece of hardware is one DirectX Device, i.e. 4 different devices each with 8 axis and 32 buttons. But some games does not like that and I have to combine them all into one DirectX device even though I will miss out a lot of my axes and buttions. Evochron Legacy is one of these games and after using a combined profile it works as expected. The TrackIR is nice but not essential, even though the NAV menu etc looks cool in 3D when turning my head.

Maybe the X52 has the same option? Its been a long time since I used Saitek gear.

[Jarhead0331]

Thanks for testing your gear out Cougar.

I have the X55. X52 seems to be working with most people.

How do you reconfigure your devices with directX?

How do you reconfigure your devices with directX?

The specific CH program provides the option for their HOTAS stuff.

I had to combine the separate CH throttle & stick on Wings Over Flanders Fields too. 

Not sure if the Saitek program allows you to choose & combine different button assignments.  The reason for doing it with some of the older & indie engines is because they don't support multiple different devices, each with so many buttons, unless it's a single device.   

Doesn't the Saitek X-series HOTAS show up as a single device already?  I thought they chained through to a single USB plug?

Well, my weekend didn't quite turn out as I hoped.

Did get some meaningful time with HOI3 - just annexed Poland and steaming on toward the low countries / France.

Spent most of my weekend looking at houses so didn't get as much gaming in as I had intended. Spent most of my time playing Aurora, with a couple of hours in Elite and Prepar3D. Recorded two episodes of my Aurora Let's Play before I realized I had the in game sound settings messed up.

Finally got a chance to take my Carenado Phenom 300 out for a test flight. Got it started from a cold start and airborne. Encountered some issues while flying that resulted in my aircraft ending up in an uncontrolled death spiral. Today's lesson, don't adjust hotkeys/controls while your plane is airborne.

Sorry to hear about the aurora lets play debacle. That is really frustrating when you make a great video and then go back to check it and realize it didn't record properly. Do you have any aurora lets play videos up already or were these your first two? I've been looking for something to motivate me to learn this game for ages.

I've been playing Deathly Ill all weekend.  The marathon continues..

Don't recall breaking stuff in the Secret Bio Weapon Facility, but the results have been the same.
