General / Off-Topic Challenge: A thread that doesn't end up being derailed by joysticks

[Kroy]

To prove how difficult it is in Elite: Dangerous to have a thread that doesn't get derailed by talking about joysticks or controllers, I present you this challenge:

[this space is deliberately left blank]

 

[psykokow]

what about flight models? or PVP? can we stop them too?

 

[Stoo]

I have a Wingman Extreme joystick, will it be compatible with my flux capacitor simulator?

:S

If it is it will totally ruin the flight model. And it will make you a Griefer.

 

[Philip Coutts]

Flight model discussions make me sad. I'm off to cry in a darkened room at their very mention

 

[psykokow]

Does PVP ruin the immersion?

 

[Cody]

Does PVP ruin the immersion?

Well... PVP is water-soluble, so it shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Oss133]

Does PVP ruin the immersion?

Does PVC ruin the furniture?

 

[breakpointUK]

Agreed

Lets talk about gamepads instead

 

[Mysturji]

I will play with my sadstick.

Actually I've got a question about Excel.

Spoiler

Will using my X52Pro joystick in Excel give me a competitive advantage over my colleague?

 

[Philip Coutts]

But will it be released on time? sob...sob....

 

[psykokow]

But will it be released on time? sob...sob....

#Curse You I was just about to come in for that...

Gee still the investors will make sure it comes out on time, thats something EA can be depended on..

 

[Oss133]

But will it be released on time? sob...sob....

Indeed. And while we are not on the subject, I recently bought one of these;

Will it be capable of running the Alpha or will I need to upgrade the graphics card to one of these?

 

[psykokow]

I am having terrible issues with mapping controls to my joystick...
I think I may need till they sort out the multiple controller issues for it to work

If you do, get a smaller one than the one pictured.

 

[Sir.Tj]

Thats a tiny little joystick.

You really have to lean on the stick to get it to move, and run over and jump on the button..

Its tricky...

 

[psykokow]

Firing is tricky!!!

For those who wonder if Elite dangerous will be played by the UK Royal Family..
