That looks like it's coming along really great.

Looking forward to it.

My finger's on the trigger. If anyone here w/ ALPHA or BETA access can give me an honest opinion regarding early access, I'm all ears...

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.

So... I picked this up and went to play it over my lunch break and the damn thing's controls are so fubar I cant get them to work.

For one, it does not support multiple joysticks. Secondly it does not seem to support any joystick but the xbox controller.

When I input the setup it acts as if I am applying various inputs even when everything is sitting in default position. For instance if I go in and put my Pitch control to my joystick Y axis (and ONLY that one control) them when I start the game I am constantly pitching in one direction until I move the stick all the way opposite direction and then it pitches back the other way. It is as if there is no analog inputs at all.

Am I missing something?

This game oozes quality. Is Track IR already implemented?

(I ask about Track IR a lot... but considering it is a necessity as old, modded games have it, you can see why)

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:

No trackIR support so at least some mediocre space siming...

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 twoweeks 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...

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.
