I busted out the center mechanism in the base on a few of them ... most likely trying to survive xciter, del, and peart in dogfights ... lol ... what about the hat contacts tho? is there any way to repair or replace those? Long live the 3D Pro! Only one thing ...

hey man! whassup! long time bro ..

SH*t I might just take you up on that. Hell maybe you can ship it COD and I'll pay for the shipping. PM me anyway havent heard from u in years

Sup

Yeah, out of the ones I've looked at this one - at least on paper - looked like it would have the best feel. I dont plan on haveing a lot of time to play even if I do come out of retirement, so maybe this will take my abuse to make it worthwhile I have yet to break out the second one. Hopefully, as ...

so I guess my point is: Sup, why change sticks? hey man ... well ... My hat up/down is slide up/down. So I wear thru the hat contacts within a matter of months. They are harder and harder to find. Also, I figured it was 2005 and somebody out there might have built a twist stick that actually improv...

I am not thinking resoldering, using an actual metal sleeve with screws to reconnect the two halves. Maybe a little epoxy on there just to keep it rock solid.

?

Ok I have to go to Compusa and look it over to see what is possible.

Sucks for D2 though huh? WHy?

Sup

I was sure if I went through ebay I'd end up with Bama's stinky leftovers and the hats would all be busted. :oops: lol ... hmm any way cut the metal (it is metal right) axis of the Cyborg Gold down ... then grip it back together with a metal sleeve? This would shorten the throw Also, why not replac...

Sup

We miss you Sup :) come back!! Bring Sickone with ya, we miss him too :) And Buef! As far a joysticks go, I've tested a bunch for compatibility with 95/98/NT/2K/XP and D1/2/3 and so far the 3D Pro rox (STFU Mob). The only other I found to be a great alternative is the GenX 500 by Quickshot . It can...

Sup

I see it's necessary to disabuse some people's notions about the SW 3DPro AGAIN! Most pointedly: it is a piece of ****! It's a 9 years old stick and it quite simply, performs like one. It is useless, it is not compatible with many systems, is extremely hard to get working on a windows 98 box with a...

Sup

After my last 3DPro died I switched to PPros but didn't like them. I settled on the Cyborg Gold with a few mods (like sawing off the big-azz hat down to a nub and removing the button covers) and found them a good crossgrade from the 3DPro. Keep in mind this was just for D3 (which I stopped playing ...

I love your join date here Sup :lol: uhh .. lol ... yeah, I think that should read 1999 :D unless we started this forum back in 'Nam. Truthfully: The DBB was an idea in my head at least 8 months before it was a reality. So, the actual join date was much earlier than winter '99 :P But, as I recall, ...

Sup

BTW: I am seriously starting to jones for hardcore D2 Gauss / Merc battles :D I want to hook up a killer stick, get some practice in, and start hunting and pounding away on people again ... and being pounded on no doubt :P Are there any people consistantly playing anywhere online anymore? Where are ...

How about this one: Thrustmasters Top Gun Fox 2 Pro http://www.joystickreview.com/thrustmaster/topgunfox2projoystick.asp Looks Phat. Got the highest reviews on this site. Apparently sturdy.

Sup

The evo is a fast JS, small imput = large movement, so for that quick 180 MD round to the nose it's great. The trouble I have is that it's stiff in the center and it makes percision aming a *****. Hmm so by stiff in the center you mean no "slop" ? Or that it wants to snap back too hard, m...

Sup

Ok I'm looking at this Saitek USB Cyborg Gold. Looks nice. Anyone actually using it out there? Most important: can it be used with D2? D2X? 3D Pros worked great .. unfortunately .. I am a bear on hats and plowed thru hat switches like they were going out of style .. :P Also - there is almost a relig...

Hey

Last nite I was in CompUSA and saw the new crop of twist joysticks

Ive been away from D for so long ... are any of these sticks any real competition for the Sidewinder 3D Pro?

Which ones are best? WHo is kicking ass with what joystick?

Sup

Hey

Is there anybody out there who has a g-mail invite left?

I could really use one

I thought the orbiting chickens were all in my head.

Yeah, what people dont know was the inside scoop on some of the DRAMA that went on behind the scenes in that contest! KB and I planned the thing. Built an entire website. Formulated the rules and invited judges. Ok ... Some of the judges (*AHEM* will not mention names - but not us) were actually pri...

... I started up Nysa single player and just flew around and flared things. Here was where I got that sweet ratting kill on Lothar when he was teaching me how. This was where I was when Jediluke scared the living daylights out of me with spread. Right here, I blind-sided Birdseye with a smart that ...

So way there is none to bypass framecap?? Is goot, ya?

You are correct. Technically

Lobber:

If you were making levels 1999 or earlier, I might have been one of the few people - along with Koolbear - who flew around and checked out your levels while everbody else was out playing Minerva

It got awfully lonely in some of those levels

Sup

Yeah the framerate dependency issue in D2 .. - Pyros on faster machines fly faster - Faster machines have ridiculous Omega cannons that suck you dry from halfway acrost the level - Homers are almost impossible to avoid the faster your machine is Hm the more I think of it I think I remember D2x. That...

Ok I'm in trouble here: I have hardly played or thought about D in almost 4 years I just hooked up my hispeed connect today in my new apartment I stop by the freaking board and there is a new Olskool forum up here People are talking about D2 After ten minutes reading these post, I can feel myself ge...

Sup

Scuse me if I have been out of the Descent loop for a couple of years:

What is D2x, and does it fix the processor dependent issues in D2?

Thank you for your assistance

Sup

Wow

Now that brings back some memories

Sup <-- spent countless hours on that contest ..

Yeah the new BB software seems great, looks like the format translation went over fine. I know we were talking about that a couple of years ago. You get better performance out of it? Speed? Indexing?

Berman and Braga ended up wrecking Trek. Too much drama, not enough real sci-fi - exploration of the unknown: How about real aliens (ie things you can barely imagine) rather than "everyone you meet being humans with rubber prosthetics" IMO Enterprise is the end result of that watering down...
