Roccat Power Grid

Yes I like those big buttons, my phone is small and I want buttons the size of my fingers so I don t miss or overlap when pressing them in the middle of flying. Are you planning on sharing this grid.
 
What i can do as the roccat upload is abit temperamental,, if anyone who has a grid and is willing to share , either post a download link, or pm me to send files to me, and ill add them to 1st post, at present im doing a small guide for this ,

jonny,

Initially just the graphics stage, but as soon as I get everything sorted ill give you shout
 
I understand, thanks.


Does anyone know if power grid is still being actively developed. Also I was curious about what other apps there are for tablets and phones, I have come across Touchbuddy but know little about it.

*edit: I have now bought a 7inch tablet quite cheaply (HP Slate 7 Plus HD Tablet), which I'm looking forward to using as my touch screen for ED with powergrid.

Hey Guys,

My name is Marc, I am the manager of product research at Roccat. I also work with the power-grid team and am the idiot you see in some of the videos.

First of all, thanks for downloading power-grid :) I'm glad you guys are getting so much use out of it.

To answer some of your questions:

Power-grid is still actively under development. We have some ambitious plans for it which iron out some small quirks and expand on it's functionality.

If you are experiencing any problems you can contact us here: http://power-grid-forum.roccat.org/ (If posting a link to our forum isn't ok, mods feel free to edit this post.

For the more ambitious of you there is an SDK which you can get from our website.

Developers can use the SDK to expand apon the functionality to controls and information specific to the game.

CMDR Noctivagus We have a very basic beginners video as well as more advanced ones on our youtube channel, you may want to add this to your tutorial.

ROCCAT scares me, I bought a mouse off them and every now and then the mouse driver shouts encouragement at me based on the total number of times I've clicked or scrolled. It can be a bit startling at 3am.

Nice mouse though.

What does it say? Warning carpel tunnel detected but keep going champ! Lol... Click me harder, faster, oh yeh click click click...

Nice to see you take an interest in Elite. I hope you manage to produce a version for windows phone as well.

touch-buddy has been going for many years ,, it has its limitations,, im doing a profile for TB as well, but im still trying to get things working from the TB side before i continue

this is a vid from my FB page

Hi Marc,

As Flavio mentioned above regarding releasing Powergrid for Windows phone 7, will you also be releasing a version for Windows 8 tablets anytime soon too.
 
If I was in the Roccat dev team I would only develop for the new Windows Phone 8.1. With all those new shared features in Visual Studio it will be easier to have shared assets between your phone and metro app.

So in theory if you have multi screens (or touch laptop) you could use that as power grid as well!
 
How are the Roccat mice compared to Razor's?

I've owned 2 different Razor mice and they both developed the same problem after a few years. Which is the right button becomes harder and harder to press properly :/
 
I've bought VoiceAttack, and hope to maybe try both in combination eventually. I struggle to remember to many buttons on a HOTAS in the heat of battle so using voice and powergrid seems a really good alternative to me, especially having a 7inch tablet clamped on an arm close to my left throttle hand.

It is very nice to visually see the ships command buttons right in front of you..as you would be if actually in your cockpit.

It was good to have someone from roccat make a post and to let us know its still actively being developed. I posted a question on the forum in general questions asking how to add in my two media players J River Media centre, and Zoom Player Max to that cool default sound control grid, the one with the large shiny volume disc.

In the edit section there is only a basic list of a few media players, and I'd like to add my two in. I just like that large wheel for volume control :)
