The last message I got form them was ~2 weeks ago. Since then nothing. How much are you in for?

It allows you to stay HOS (hands on stick) but still manipulate a cursor. In Star Citizen it'll get a similar use for radar display/target designation/EWACS. Supposedly the next preview will include the new GUI for multicrew ships, including the updated radar display.

All I have left worth refunding is a Redeemer and some hangar flair that probably equals out to around $320. I've only gotten one "Are you sure?" response and 3 more automated "We haven't forgotten about you!" emails with zero replies to the other 4 emails I've sent. I initiated a dispute through Paypal yesterday and am honestly surprised to have not heard anything back yet given how quickly they seem to jump into gear when chargebacks/paypal disputes are mentioned. Edit: I'm 5 weeks in.

Did you inform them that you would do a chargeback? Not saying you should have, but from previous examples they let RSI know they would chargeback which got the refund right away. Alternatively, RSI is now at the point that they don't have the money to give you a refund. Which would mean they're in full  mode right now.

Not just that, some people pay more for pictures of extra bits to go on the picture of their spaceship jpeg, and some stuff has been sold without even a picture to assist with the fantasy. sincx posted:And why is MadCatz still around? Maybe not for much longer. No great loss. They make broken garbage hardware. Loiosh posted:It's for MFDs (multi-function displays).

Seems like it'd be way more fiddly than a ministick, and also potentially useless for thrusters, something which would be far more helpful in a "game" like Star Citizen. If they haven't put in some kind of thruster specific controls they've already made a HOTAS that's worse than the 20+ yr old design of the CH Throttle.

If they haven't put in some kind of thruster specific controls they've already made a HOTAS that's worse than the 20+ yr old design of the CH Throttle. MadCatz/Saitek tends to solve this via game-aware mode switching. Certain games expose data to the joystick drivers which allows them to switch modes automatically. For example in Elite, the T.A.R.G.E.T. drivers (ug) from TM update the controls for Flight Assist off movement. The hat can be updated to provide thruster inputs. You are correct about trackballs being terrible for thrusters. Generally you do not want to use an input that requires polling (ask an android developer their thoughts on detecting trackball events) for a state-ful control like a thruster. It is better to use an impulse event (hat up, hat down), which is likely what this stick will do. The trackball is useful for emulating mouse movement without having to move hands from the controls. As a real world example, this is used on MFDs to do target selection. You do not want the pilot to have to move hands off the throttle/stick to make a selection. In Commercial aviation you run two or more pilots (PF and a PNF) so this is less of a concern. Good example of why militaries use a more complex HOTAS setup vs Commercial aviation having multiple pilots: http://aviationtroubleshooting.blogspot.com/2010/12/qantas-flight-qf32-captain-david-evans.html

Probably because I had graciously given you guys most of it piece-meal over the weeks since I wrote it.  So next time I should hold it all in and not say anything, right?  ps: It wasn't planned to have anything to do with the Grey market. Where'd you get that idea from?
