News Progress Diary #8

Absolutely fantastic. Mike.....WOW !

Great to see the cockpit controls (hopefully changeable to left handed too ), the amazing interactive lighting, I just love the ice and cracks on the cockpit.

Can I ask if keyboard rebind be on the alpha ? I play with the keyboard and am left handed hence use up down left right rather than wasd.

Just amazing. Well done FD..... WOW !!

Cheers Mike.

Did I hear mention of 3d televisions? How does it look on a decent 3d tv, is truly 3d, or is the cockpit done as a separate layer?

Great video btw!

The more i look on this dev diary the more i get an impulse to drag my pc to the livingroom and use my 42 inch tv

It looks amazing and although I'm not exactly sure I think it was true 3D (because the cockpit hologram UI seems to pop out from the cockpit geometry).

There is a good chance I'm going to faint soon.

Cheapest (UK) X52 & X52 Pro I could find:

DABS.

£85 and £110 (with a penny change) respectively.

Same price at the BT SHOP.

Get 'em while you can?

HTH.

Order on request on both of those sites, rumour has it Saitek are bringing new sticks out "soon"

Someone on the forums posted a video they made teasing their new stick not too long ago called the X55 but I've not seen anything else about it nor when it's meant to be out.

Thanks Mike...... brilliant.

Keyboard and mouse here I come.

 

[Rog]

Yes, the Saitek X55. No real info though, just a teaser trailer.

[Grale]

This could turn out to be everything i have waited for... Looking exceptional.

I am so glad i made the Alpha

 

[bodshal]

I have some friends on FB who had previously been on the fence about ED... I posted this video and now they've signed up for alpha and have positively wet their pants. I wonder if Frontier can comment on whether they've seen a spike in signups ahead of the closing of Alpha signups since this morning.

 

[Styggron]

We're going to notice lots of new users very soon I'd say.

Just saw there is no Saitek X52Pro for left handers. there goes that. ($AUD236 here from ebay)

 

[jan]

£1000 more in Pledges just from this tread started

 

[Sir.Tj]

I think that may be a understatement.

 

[Styggron]

I think that may be a understatement.

oh defintely.
