Re: Ten Years

Mr. Sirian, I remember you and your white lasers from 1995. And I remember Mr. Oneye too (Green squad). And Mr. CajunAce too (Red Squad). And Mr. MD-2389.

So it has now been 26 years. How about another check-in?

I flew SRP, Minerva2 and Kegparty tonight.

I was wondering when the Wildcards disbanded. It was a great group. I remember a lot of mines with Gre, Zonerie and Bama.

Re: Descent Mumble Server

@ Swazook - We don't have drama at the Rangers... we have a Council, play Descent, have a functioning website, and more than one person can log in to the server to help run the Rangers. We have over 40 active pilots and more joining every week. Too bad you decided to sit in the garden and eat worms...

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get D2 running on your XP machine if you follow the 3 steps on the Rangers homepage. Up and Running in 10 minutes - literally.

And you can get a manhattan \"gameport to USB\" device for $19 and use your old Sidewinder.

For D2 I do not use any of the base buttons.

Both side buttons work and the two top buttons work (hat and long button). That is all I need for D2 from my joystick - the rest is keyboard - It works perfectly and even twists! Not bad for $19.

Manhattan Gameport to USB adaptor

If you are playing the new rebirth D2 and you want to use your old sidewinder Pro, you need to get a Manhattan gameport to USB device. It works perfectly for your sidewinder and I picked mine up for only $19. It even has twist!
