We're at -10. (Ten more days and we'll see.)
If anyone is interested I'll be ok with live-broadcast of some gaming session that night. It's a friday and I talked already with the missus.
I have two monitor so while playing I can still read on requests and I count on narrating the sessions. Albeit not a native English speaker I'm not THAT bad.
More info coming soon.

Well I could. But there would be no visual... My idea is some kind of a Twitch/Youtube Live thing. I'll see what I can setup tonite, check for different alternatives and report. Tomorrow night (if I'm lucky) I'll have everything ready for a test.
I'll start a new thread in the Screenshots/VIdeos Sub-Forum, with more details.

Yes trackIR is in game already. Though all my axis were inverted and the xyz movement was about 10x too sensitive. I had to disable xyz and use the trackir program to invert my yaw axis and then it worked perfectly. But my controllers are FUBAR. I have not looked to see if there is an input file you can manually edit. I am hoping someone with a HOTAS has already found a fix for this.

I'm playing the Beta Alpha 1.1 right now. (Offline missions only that is.) Have to say they nailed it with the flying, it really feels good (gives a new perspective to dogfighing energy managment... Weapon/Engine/System) yes Track Ir is working! With the Alpha 4 next week, for me worth every penny. it's still a lot of money but I see it like this.. premium Beta 120 euro.This includes 60 euro for the game 30 for the future addons and the last 30 euro is for having the game urly Got my CH HOTAS setup without any issue's. Configured as one device an a lot of axes. There will be a lot of fixes in the Alpha 4 we can access next week. Joystick setup should be one of them. Damm.. with the release of the Star Citizen Dogfight module, it's gonna be a lot of space siming next week! For some great Alpha 4 impressions check out Scott Manley's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q04axMTIIO8

Bought the Premium Beta and have to say I'm pretty impressed so far. Very nice feeling of space flight and combat, and my TrackIR/ HOTAS Warthog setup works fine after a bit of tinkering. I've created a quick dogfight video, will post it later in the screenshots forum.

Gosh, I should get a commission. Anyway... The Alpha availble to us, premium beta has some limitations. One is the limited HOTAS setup. Para, how did you improve the situation? I created a TARGET profile for the buttons but I am short of an axis...

It may feel... limited, as of now. But it grows on you. Moreover the beta coming in is goung to have MORE stuff and all the bugs of this version squashed. Granted there'll be more, but in a much more alive environment. Treat this as an Elite military simulator... You're receiving your space-driving license in 10 days. Keep practicing!

Well it is completely unplayable for me on ch joystick, pedals and Saitek tpm / quadrant. It recognizes my joystick but it does not give me analog input for some reason. it is either all the way one direction or the other.
