Hey Jack,Hi
Great Video!
I haven't a clue how you people compile these videos, I wouldn't know where to start.
Jack
Many thanks for the kind words - I take a lot of screenshots as I play (80,000+ to date, though many are just “log” images, capturing info on where & what i’m up to in the game - else i tend to forget a lot^), quite a few on external camera for more scenic stuff, also doing specific shoots and recording video when I find things of particular interest - so sifting & sorting through the couple of TB of recorded video i have on archive was the main challenge in making this video!Hi

Nice. A B5 rewatch is still on my list.
Interesting. I've sometimes wondered about the dual stick approach.Hi
Yep, that's what I eventually did. I'd had a Thrstmaster T16000m for quite a few years and I'd 'repaired' it twice by taking it apart and cleaning it after the main axis movements started to get 'flaky'. The main fire trigger started playing up eventually, intermittent trigger failure, I took the joystick apart again but the trigger works on a sealed 'pot' that can't be cleaned, at least I couldn't do it.
I messaged Thrustmaster about it but they don't supply those particular spare parts (or any parts actually when the joysticks warranty runs out).
Still for the price at the time it was good value (£38). I bit the bullet and bought the modern DUO version, though apart from external cosmetics the sticks are basically the same as when they were first released.
So...Just under a couple of years ago (I think) I bought the DUO version in a sale that came up, I paid roughly £84 for the two and free postage came with it so it was a saving compared to buying two separate sticks which was just over £120 for the two and postage on top of that. The price has risen again slightly this year.
I've still got one stick still new in the box as a 'spare', I'm using the other one, and it's still accurate in it's functions after hundreds of hours play so far.
I still use a keyboard for mostly the planet scanning stuff and other one key press functions, the mouse I use fires the bio scanner, and I use it for on foot movement as well as bringing up the system and galactic maps plus pointy and click stuff. The joystick is mainly used for the main ship movement, speed and weapons controls. I use all three control peripherals as it's my belief that it evens out any ware and tare generally. For example, when firing the mining weapons I use the right mouse button, the mouse in this respect takes a hammering, but it takes the place of the joystick fire button, so less use of that joy's main fire trigger.
Though you can find it a bit cheaper on Amazon uk. maybe around £10 cheaper when I last looked.

Nice. I've given your vid a like for what help it'll do.I’ve been fairly quiet here & elsewhere the past week or two, busy making another video for a JustAbout competition - the idea being to make quite a splash on YouTube this week, with a collection of player-made video’s on the theme “This is my Elite Dangerous” …so here it is, a montage of things i’ve played & recorded the past years :]

The competition is open for entries until the 21st, so there’s still some time to enter…

I actually thought you used dual sticks too. Maybe I'm thinking of another person's setup pic. Interesting joystick. I feel like it's slightly lacking in button options though without a throttle.It'll ne hardware. alas.
It's one of these and I'm hoping a spanking new one arrives tomorrow.
I'm just wondering about binds now. It's a USB connection and a like-for-like model. I'm hoping the game will just detect it as an existing peripheral and keep its current bindings.
So as for what I'm up, space combat ain't it
Doing a few ground missions to bide my time.
Yeah, every time I've seen someone on the "there's no systems left wahhhh" vibe I've looked where they are and they are closer than I am. As for named systems the Hipparcos catalogue goes beyond 200 parsecs so in theory any bright stars even more than 600ly out should have name...
I only just now saw what stick you were using.
.I I keep looking in on their site and the PC hardware retailers / stockists periodically here in the UK, just in case there's a sale on somewhere with these speakers....
...no such luck at the moment! 
Amazon delivery. A time slot has been given but it's anyone's guessHi
Well, I sure hope Tyres's new joystick arrives today!
I've just been looking in on the Logitech site UK just to see what peripherals they make nowadays, I'd love a set of their Z906 5.1 surround sound speakers, but at £400...
What am I doing....I've just landed my Cutter at Herbert Dock (Wolf 906) to sell off 300t of Platinum, then moving on to somewhere else so I can sell off other stuff I've mined.
I'm also keeping my eye out for any new information from Frontier concerning this colonisation feature, as it seems to me to be all a bit quiet and in limbo presently.
On my way in to the bubble I landed at a players ongoing system colonisation build and cleared out some remaining commodities I had, and sold them off at the colonisation carrier....I wonder if that player notices!
Dammit!....I've been to three different best buy / sell stations indicated on Inara now as having the best prices for platinum, all three of them indicated prices in excess of 280,000, but at each station they were all around the 27,700 mark when I landed there.....grrrrr.
As I've mentioned somewhere here, I've got two Titan Drive components stored on my carrier, so I might also visit the engineers for a couple of suitable drives to fit a Cobra Mk5 and the Corsair, ready to fit for when I eventually buy them.
Edited... for grammar.
Jack
Always check the time of the latest update for these places. The younger they are, the more likely it is that you get close to the prices shown at INARA...all three of them indicated prices in excess of 280,000, but at each station they were all around the 27,700 mark when I landed there.....grrrrr.
Very nice! ...good shots & a great cut, has a good sense of rhythm & the accompanying music - GL in the comp
Many thanks, every like & sub count!

My last two Amazon deliveries, last Monday, were 1 hour and 7 hours before their arriving before time. Both surprised me by arriving in ordinary cars.Amazon delivery. A time slot has been given but it's anyone's guess
Won't be able to Christan it until tomorrow, alas.
Self employed wanna be white van men, from what I have heard some of them can't speak our lingo
