You forget: I can translate that stuff with Babelfish. You can't translate this:

Must be. I don't think I bragged about being at VBB, and I'd never brag about my highschool times...  
My point was - and as the following proved! - that I couldn't be recognized if I had changed the nick.

Rudder pedals would be very useful too, and even more useful when flying realistic airplanes. Did anybody here try the free Warbirds III weekend last weekend?

'Course not - it's transliterated. If I wrote in Hebrew characters, y'all would really be confused... at least this way you can try to pronounce it...

What the... Can't believe it. No one uses a mouse? Well, I'll be the first. On other space combat/flight sim i use my cheap Wingman Attack, but haven't bothered adjusting the Deadzone/sensitivity settings.

Yah, I totally agree! MS SideWinder Force Feedback MARK ONE ONLY! I can't stand the Mark 2, it looks ugly to me.

Im an old-fashioned conservative, what can I say?

umm doesnt the force feedback throw off your aim too?  maybe u should get a chair with straps and motors to really shake you when u get hit.  i used one on a different fighter sim and its really cool  (about $3000 for a crappy one though)

Um...Zander, if I'm getting hit from behind by laser fire or missiles, the LAST thing I'm going to be worried about is my aim!

Ok, original question:

I can't play Freespace... something about my PC not able to detect 3d Acceleration after numerous attempts to fix it...


But starcraft still woks

Starcraft is not 3d, which is why you can still play it just fine even though freespace cannot detect 3d accel.

What kind of card do you have? If you hae one of the more recent VooDoo cards, then you may need to go into the 3Dfx toolbox and disaple the glide splash screen.

Well thank you sandwich.

Is the Seitek one called a cyborg? 'caus if thats the one, then yes, the buttons can be repositioned, and I have Two buddies who recomend it highly.
edit: Nope, just saw the pic.

Though I'm quite opposed to Microsoft, I cant think of anything better than playing FS2 with my sidewinder Forcefeedback 2 and my GameVoice headset. Its SO much cooler when you can actually SPEAK you're comunications, as in actual voice commands! "Alpha wing form up, Beta wing engage enemy, Delta wing disarm my target!" Woohoo!

It also lets me focus more on the actual flying as well as alow me to use the wingmen more efficiently. Whoah... I'm almost selling Microsoft here....
