ok so i didnt realize that you needed a Bluetooth dongle to connect the ps3 controller using motionjoy...so im gonna go buy one...just an fyi if anyone else was gonna use the motionjoy drivers and whatnot

by **JDMYoshioka** Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:09 pm

I have the biggest size control Goliathus mouse pad.

You don't need a bluetooth dongle to use the ps3 controller.

I got my ps3 controller set up to fly but my L2/R2 buttons don't work(I use square for fire,X for alt, O for exit, L1 for descend, R1 for ascend) and the choppers are so slow.

by **palto1826** Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:07 pm

well that sucks...i could not go through the setup cause it wouldnt connect...oh well i fixed the problem and bought a joystick cause the only bluetooth dongle they had was like 55 bucks so i just bought a logitec joystick cause i was gonna need one anyways

by **Felixlynch777** Wed Apr 13, 2011 12:23 am

Guys I found something pretty cool, an affordable and good quality joystick. Since I am a jet nut I'll be buying one of these for the helicopter and jets in BF3. It is called the Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro. Here is a pic below. It has good reviews and a great price, it is $23 on Amazon. I'll be picking one of these up to rain hell down on the ground noobs below. Razz

that's the one I bought...i like it but it doesn't fair so well with helis mainly due to the throttle control doesn't work for them and sometimes I find myself twisting the controller (which is a whole other axis) I'm sure I could get used to it the more I use it...one heads up is I hear your not supposed to use the disk that comes with it...i forget why right now and I can't look it up cause I'm at work but just plug it in and let windows do its thing...thats what I did and is working fine...if I recall it may have been an issue with calibration...im gonna try it out on bfp4f...other than that its a real nice joystick...with a weighted base so its not tipping over and shit...for the price it is really goodif you have questions let me know

by **palto1826** Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:31 am

felix...do you own hawx 2 for pc at all and or planning to buy ace combat for ps3 when it comes out this year sometime? we def need to play them ...also jdm so I finally got my ps3 controller working but is it just me or do the helicopters feel my clunky and slugish when using the contoller...which makes sense when I have rarely seen a pilot that has completely raped the whole team and I've already shot more helis out of the sky with the at4 than I have on ps3

by **Twintower415** Thu Apr 14, 2011 6:56 am

Palto I'm planning to buy Ace Horizon when it comes out.. Looks more awesome then Hawx

by **palto1826** Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:15 am

allright sweet...cause i have to buy it too...i havent looked too far into so im assuming that there will be multiplayer...yeah as for hawx i was never a fan of the demos ive played but there really has been no other flying games besides them..........DAMN YOU HEKKIE FOR THE FLOOD CONTROL!!!!!!!!DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just looking for somethin to kill the remainder of the three minutes i gotta wait...i dont really care)

by **Felixlynch777** Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:11 am

It wasn't on my radar but I'll see.

Also guys I suggest you download the demo for Company of Heroes, it is an excellent RTS game. It is one of 4 games I'm getting in May, ARMA 2, BFBC2, The Witcher 2 Deluxe Edition and Company of Heroes gold edition. I was pretty happy that in the in-game benchmarking tool I for Company of Heroes with everything maxed out I got average 80FPS.

Hey guys I found this interesting article by Kotaku about the effects of consoles on gaming and the PC. It is an interesting read so I'd reccomend it to you guys.

Seen it. But it's true.

What I find ironic is that BC1, a console exclusive game, had more expansive terrain, less invisible walls and more freedom overall than the sequel, which y'all know that does have a PC version

by **Felixlynch777** Sat Apr 16, 2011 9:05 pm

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, BC1 is good in that it is like an old school PC shooter. But I really hope that the next consoles come out soon, it is silly that the outdated 6 year old hardware on the consoles is holding back the advancement of gaming. I'm also worried about dumbed-down games but that is the developers fault. This year alone we have Crysis 2 and Dragon Age 2 and I'm really hoping the Deus Ex: Human Revolution isn't dumbed down or anything.

by **palto1826** Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:34 am

hey attention to anyone that is interested in flying games...

http://il2sturmovik.ubi.com/cliffs-of-dover/en-US/home/

take a look...i was wondering if this piqued anyones interest...i think omni wants this too...it would be fun to try this out...if budgets allow for it

by **Felixlynch777** Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:17 pm

Jesus I am mad. STEAM was doing a Rockstar Weekend and GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City were only $6 together. I put them in my shopping basket but I missed the sale it was only 1 day Sad

by **Felixlynch777** Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:29 pm

If you guys are interested though the GTA IV Ultimate Edition is 75% off from 29.99 to $10. GTA Episodes is also down from $22 to $5.

by **palto1826** Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:53 pm

i think if i buy a sandbox game im gonna get just cause 2....and on another note i just wanted to share that i just bought a new monitor and im pumped...thought i think my gpu struggles to play bfbc2 on its highest resolution but idk...the screen went black and when i took off my headset i could hear a fan (or at least i think it was a fan) going at a high rpm...but also i wasnt sure if it was because i was playing without the disk inserted and what i heard was the dvd drive, idk i just didnt want to try and recreate it...though i know it was the processor...that thing was still running cool (for playing a game) when i rebooted the computer...anyone have thoughts...i know im looking at buying a new video card but i wanted to buy the latest and greatest thing after battlefield comes out

by **palto1826** Tue Apr 19, 2011 11:32 pm

oh and I just wanted to point out that everything still works fine and was playing bfbc2 for a couple hours after but on a lower resolition and on medium not high quality...anything I can do to tweak the system in order to run it at the highest res or am I basically just looking at buying a new video card?

by **Felixlynch777** Wed Apr 20, 2011 2:46 am

What resolution is your new monitor?

Also Palto I did want to say you'll have to upgrade for BF3. Your 4870 is a good card but it is only Direct X9 and 10 while BF3 looks to be really pushing gaming forward so it'll be Direct X11 only. I think you should copy me and wait until Xmas to buy a new GPU. That way I'll miss out on the chaotic first month of release and can buy a new GPU at the Xmas sales. You could pick yourself up a 6950 ir 6970 which will max out BF3 for probably less than $190 Smile

by **palto1826** Wed Apr 20, 2011 7:22 am

the resolution i am running is 1920x1080...the funny thing was when i changed the resolution in the game to output at 1920x1080, the picture looked good but the text were kind of "shaking" or like "flashing" kinda hard to describe...yeah i was definitely planning on getting a new one for battlefield 3/tes skyrim and i knew this card was a older

by **Twintower415** Thu Apr 21, 2011 7:27 am

Just a generic Keyboard felynx
Still not here though its been 5 business days since I ordered it Sad
