so does that mean you don't like the game?

texxxxan:

Before you give up on it entirely, have you considered using a Joystick to Mouse emulator? I've not tried this one but it should work for you.

45 bucks shot.Learned lesson hard way.Why did I buy a $150 input device.force feedback and all bells and whistles,from a company{Microsoft} that puts out games that will not support same device ??Ignorant of corporate management?Assuming logic had something to do with it?HA!Will be much more careful in future.

Actually it wasn't ignorance, it was brilliance. Microsoft saw that not everyone has a joystick, but *gasp* everyone has to have a mouse.

Yes.. which is why they should have added the option for either..

well - I've tried before buying and, so far, am not particularly impressed unfortunately... but the controls I think are fine. After playing freelancer a while, I dragged out "Edge of Chaos" to make a comparission and found myself wondering whether I could set up Edge Of Chaos the same way as Freelancer!!! But its the other things in Freelancer I find disappointing, the repetiveness, the fact that the ship doesn't need any fuel to go places, the fact that prices don't change,... the little details that would make the game more immersive. At the moment, from first impressions, it seems so much less than it claimed to be....?

I've just been playing the demo. I'll happily take it off your hands. I sent you an email.

Post Sun May 18, 2003 6:47 pm

...and your email doesn't work. anyway, I'm interested.

Post Sun May 18, 2003 7:50 pm

Dont know why my mail doesnt work - its the same as my sign on here?
Anyway - no, I am going to hang onto the game cause I'm going to have a go at modding it to see if i can change things to the way i like them - done it before with other games and, with an already healthy modding community here, hopefully I can have some success? We'll see over the next few weeks anyhow...
