Dang, it happened while I was sleeping... Woooot!

Glad to hear! Have tons of fun.

Final Unity is a brilliant, wonderful, fantastic game. I would snap it up immediately if they ever released it on GOG.

Never met the person, don't know them, yet believe gossip about them. Because, you know, I get bad vibes from looking at them. You could make a career as a gaming journalist, by the looks of it. I'm constantly flabbergasted by how easy it is to pronounce yourself judge and jury of the lives of...

I bought AoA. It's quite a fun game. Which Wargame title would you recommend to an long time C&C fan?

I miss C&C desperately... There have been so few opportunities lately to blow stuff up with tanks. The original is probably my all time favourite game.

If you had to put 10 games on your bucket list, Strike would surely be one of them. Finish it if you ever get the opportunity.

Hang on, didn't you ever play Strike? I spent hours in the object viewer. It definitely predates Armada's.

This something I would most certainly be interested in! Please keep us up to speed.

The answer depends on a lot of variables; what ship I'm flying, what the enemy is flying, how violent or gentle my stick inputs are, etc. As I said, it generally feels OK to me, but definitely not as responsive as newer games. It's not clunky enough to be frustrating though.

I can't speak for anyone else... I tested the behaviour on a clean install of Privateer, with my stick using the default control settings. Not editing of response curves whatsoever. Subjectively, it felt the same as always. It's hard to quantify responsiveness without some means of comparison.

At least as easy as any of my other old WC games. Truth be told though, the controls don't feel that great now that I'm used to newer titles.

Interesting find; pity they don't explain what they are actually editing. Final roll of the dice would be to try a different stick, or see if the GOG version works better. I just tested it myself, and there is no detectable dead-zone with my current setup.

For your reference, here is the .conf for the GOG version of Privateer. You can try changing some settings to see if it has any effect. # Lines starting with a # are commentlines. # They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option. [sdl] # fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in...

I would start with: core=auto cputype=auto cycles=auto I will dig around to see what joystick options are available. The DOSBox wiki has very little info in that regard.

Noted, that settles that. Maybe post your dosbox.conf file so we can have a look?

Have you progressed to any ship besides the Tarsus? It's not known for handling well. As for CPU type, leaving it on Auto always produces the best results for me.

Not much else to be done then. I managed to get my Logitech working quite nicely with the GOG releases, as well the Kilrathi Saga. YMMV, I suppose.

Hi and welcome! One possible solution is to see if your stick has configuration software that allows you to tweak deadzones and sensitivity. Profiles made in this way should work even for games that don't support such settings natively. You should also be able to apply a profile globally for...

Ugh, I hated working with enamels. They take ages to dry and stink to high heaven, not to mention the mess you have to clean up afterwards. I now use water-based paints exclusively.
