I wish we at least had some sort of input knowing if we were going to have another race soon :-\ I know the mods are extremely busy, just a heads up or a schedule would be nice. The tournaments are what I've lived for!
@ValtsuAircraftIndustries But the posts with the tournament details come every Monday. Nobody can enter without them, so if the tournament starts on Sunday, it won't last very long without any entries.
@kikasshes Those are also cool, but if I had RC planes, I would solder a stick and throttle to the emitter inputs and get an FPV-system for a realistic and immersive feel. :D
@Nickasaurus The T.16000m? Yeah, it's just that little throttle slider. Very inconvenient. The sensor for X- and Y-axes is the best in the market (same as in the Warthog stick) and it has a lot of buttons for a stick though. I don't like that the wires are all so thin and unprotected and hanging in the mechanics, mine broke a lot of times already. Right at the moment I'm sitting here soldering the wire of the middle thumb button together again. Wrapping duct tape around them helped a lot, but still they can break sometimes. I would also like a better gimbal mechanic out of aluminium and with ball bearings, but I don't have the tools to make that. :D
@Nickasaurus My joystick is a Thrustmaster T.16000m. What I need is a good throttle. I probably could've gone with the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle for almost the same price, but I want more buttons, oil dampers and some synthetic leather for comfort. :D
@Nickasaurus I haven't done any molds before, so I hope it works out well with silicone from the DIY-shop. :D I'm using the molds to make the grips out of fibreglass then. The base will get a ton of buttons and switches, so I won't have to use my keyboard primarily for all the targeting functions and systems in the A-10C anymore. :D
@Nickasaurus Doesn't have to be that soon. I'm still busy building my throttle, haven't even made the molds of the grips yet and I still have to order the controller. :D
Well, I just know from knowledge it's best not to trust the devs, not because they are liars, but because those promises are never guaranteed. It's the same with update releases(IF they give that information out, which they usually won't, at least most of the time(and most certainly was the case in the beta))
@BRuthless Ok. Also, don't ever expect it on a specified date. If there is one thing about game devs, it's to never trust their predicted dates. but they specifically state this monday?(as in 3 days ago...)
@NovaTopaz In the last stream they said it's going to be posted on Monday. Maybe they are waiting until they can release the next update, so that everyone has the new Lunar Arc circuit, as that's what they wanted to run the next Tournament on. But they could've just replaced it with one of the other courses.
Well, considering it may be spring break in a few days(I really don't remember the range of days it's usually on), that'd probably explain the lack of a new tournament.
That's very true @BRuthless Hopefully it's just a busy week for them and we'll see one pop up for next Sunday.
@GrumpyRacing Andrew is doing the tournaments pretty much solo it seemed to me.

@Nickasaurus @BRuthless I use a rc controller joystick called the interlink elite. (Comes with the RC simulator Realflight)
@BRuthless sweet. You really know your stuff.

@BRuthless i have the thrustmaster from a long time ago :P the throttle is extremely awkward though :|

@BRuthless sounds sweet! ive got access to machinery but never thought of making a joystick before!
@AgDynamics Same here. Maybe Andrew just forgot to post it or his hard drive died. Nobody knows.
I'm hoping it means that they're too busy working on the new update...

@BRuthless wow ok!
@Nickasaurus Doesn't have to be that soon. I'm still busy building my throttle, haven't even made the molds of the grips yet and I still have to order the controller. :D
@BRuthless hmm. im really bad at flying without my joystick. which i get back next week
@Nickasaurus The offer of escorting you in DCS multiplayer or joining you in an A-10C or Su-25T for some ground attacks is still vaild by the way. :D
Indeed, I live for these tournaments, they really make me rack my brain and even though my planes suck it's still a lot of fun!

Yeah Andrew said tomorrow yet that was last Sunday :(
@NovaTopaz Yep. It's normally always posted on the next day after the Tournament.
@BRuthless Ok. Also, don't ever expect it on a specified date. If there is one thing about game devs, it's to never trust their predicted dates. but they specifically state this monday?(as in 3 days ago...)
