Ideally it would be setup with rudder style pedals controlling legs, joystick torso and throttles for speed with a reverse detent. Some joysticks have built in twist. But I could never get used to that when I used flight sim.
Thanks everyone for your input. It was very helpful and I feel really good about this system. I don't feel like I had to make any compromises. By the time I saw your post lethv the order was processed beyond modification, but I think the Seasonic will still work. Will give a bit more...
I'm working on getting all this good information together and I'll post what I'm thinking of as far as build later. As far as the case goes. I think lethv has me sold on the Define R4 but no window. I like the simple but classy look it has. For some reason it just looks better to me over the...
Haha, well played. Yes long time lurker here. Actually I had an account even earlier than that but I think they purged me when anandtech updated its forums.
Anyway. Thanks for the suggestion. Question about CPU cooling. Would a closed loop liquid cooling like the Corsair H40 be worth it...
You know. I never even thought about replacing the monitor. But I might just go for that monitor you linked, lehtv. I had planned to put the old computer in my girls' room and I'm sure they rather have my 22" instead of the old 15".
So add that in the budget. What kind of SSD would be good...
It's that time again, my E8400 and 4890 system is getting a bit outdated and my raptor HD is ready to give up the ghost anytime. Since the PC will be located in the upstairs master bedroom I'd like for it be quiet and if possible running cool. The heat tends to accumulate in our room quite...
Anyone that has played World of Tanks able to talk about similiarities and differences, good or bad between the two games? I've enjoyed WoT since closed beta but getting a little burned out on it now. It looks like this game is right up my alley. I havent's played a mech game since the 90s...
Worked my way up to the French SOMUA S40 TD. 5 battles, 5 losses and 75% of my shots that made contact have been no damage pens. ugh... Going to keep at it though.
I have a reason now to go past my Ferdi and get the JagdTiger. I like what I see there. I imagine this will be after the British line is introduced though.
Matilda on lower tiers is boss mode. It's slow, but I set that thing 3 notches forward and never stop. Shoot on the move, good rate of fire, with a 100% crew it dominates. For its tier it has good HP and bouncy armor. This is the tank I play when I'm on a bad losing streak.
Losing doesn't bother me that much. I've played enough battles that sometimes just looking at the tank composition on each side is enough to let me know how the battle will end. Nonetheless I personally play each game doing everything possible to win. if it means covering the weak flank, so...
Finally a decent game in my IS-3 since this bonus xp began:
Province
XP Received: 11,180 (x5)
Credits Received: 65,994
Battle Achievements: Ace Tanker, Bolter's Medal, Steel Wall, Sniper, Top Gun
Need more matches like this.
Since I've kept the KV and run it daily to have fun and earn credits, i'm allowing it to continue to generate XP instead of accelerating crew training. I want to use the XP for the S-51 and it would be my first serious SPG. I had a T57 a while back but only used it a couple of times. Is the...
Believe me I have. I keep the hull pointing straight to an opposing tank, but then I find myself with 3 holes in the lower glacis, lol.
The IS was a beast for me. Insane win rate, top gun or 4 kills if I was top tank and would damage or take 2 tanks with me on higher level matches.
On...
Finally got the IS-3 yesterday and what a brutal awakening it has been. So far the first 10 matches on it have been bad. Considering the grind from the T-28 through IS has been pleasant, this is seems to be where the fun ends. Granted the BL-9 might change things, but I recall bouncing shots...
Couple of days ago I researced the IS and now it's upgraded to IS-2. I am having the best run with this tank than any other. Granted after 3,000 battles under the belt you learn a few things, but after 55 battles on this thing, I'm sporting a nice 73% of battles won in it. If I'm anywhere...
I got my KV last night and decided to take it for a spin before going to bed. Everything stock except radio and engine (must have had them researched from SU-152). I think I'm going to like this tank.
The map was Ensk and I headed for the maze of buildings along with two other heavies. The...
I've always been dumbfounded by the facebook app and how horrible it is. How can a social app that has features that go hand in hand with mobile devices suck so much? You'd think it would be one of the best ones out there considering the resources facebook has.
Also, anyone try the Chrome...
I fail to see how the glass on this phone "completely blows". Swiping is smooth, good smudge resistance and when it's time to cleaning it a simple rub on the jeans or shirt and good as new.
When I got my 52" Samsung LCD I calibrated it for optimal blu-ray playback. I use those same settings also when watching TV or playing games on my PS3. What I will do however is change the TV Game Mode setting to ON if I need quick response time. I believe this turns off any processing done...
Previous OG Droid owner here. I thought this would be a problem for me as well, but once I knew I would get this phone, I started using my droid on touch mode typing only to get used to it. Turns out, after a while, it wasn't that bad anymore and when the Nexus hit the stores, I was ready to...
I don't want to hijack the thread, but on the GNexus when I click on Portable WiFI Hotspot it checks for a subscription and tells me I need to call a number and subscribe. Does this functionality require root to work for free?
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the built in hotspot of the GNexus require a paid subscription for that feature? I'm talking about the Verizon LTE version.
What does the Android Media Server do exactly? I'm at work and websites that have info on it are blocked. It appears to be the main battery draw (beside the screen) and also the biggest source of heat. I was streaming google music but I saw the actual app ranked much lower in percentage of...
Anubis was right regarding the 3G/4G radio switching. Once I went into CDMA only, battery life improved quite a bit. Though I used the phone lightly yesterday. I was at 10hrs on battery with 38% left. 4 of those hours were spent on wifi.
I can't believe the reception here at work is...
Ok, thanks. I'm going to try CDMA only here at work. But are the radios in the Nexus have problems in general with reception? Like I mentioned earlier 3G doesn't even get a bar in here and isn't LTE supposed to penetrate buildings better?
Gotta admit I'm a bit pissed off that I pay for a 4G...
Tapatalk works for me as well.
The phone and battery aren't doing as well today. Battery drained in 5 hrs. I wonder if it may something to do with the phone possibly looking for a 4G signal. I barely get 3G here at work. Also it is running hot all over. Started out in the back by the...
Wow boozier, that's impressive. Is that with the standard battery? I just had my phone reboot for no reason while scrolling in between screens. I hope it was a fluke.
OK. Got the phone to 8 hrs. To the very end I was using it to check Facebook and texting.
Charging from 0 to 100 took just over 2 hrs. I wonder if ICS throttles down the CPUs below 15%. I was expecting the phone to die faster. Then again it might be I'm used to the old battery from my Droid.
I redeemed my code from the Logitech special Newegg add and got the Matilda. Man what tough little tank this is. It's no sniper or speeder but it packs a punch and it bounces a lot! Even arty has a tough time with me.
My reception for both 3G and 4G has been poor, 3G no bar to 1 bar here at work and 4G showing no sign of life. My OG droid did better. Call quality has been good, though I've only had three so far.
Battery life what I expected more or less. 6:30 min discharging with 13% left right now...
I have to say the speaker volume is too low. I am actually concerned the alarm might not wake me up from my slumber. I wonder if it's something that can be easily fixed.
Got mine this morning. The Verizon sales people couldn't help but keep remarking to one another how fast and smooth the phone was as they were setting them up for customers. Amazing, even in my pocket if feels better than my OG droid. Thinner and lighter. Going to go play with it some more.
I went to Best Buy this morning with my son looking for a mouse pad (they had none by the way) and on my way out I decided to stop by the cell phones kiosk. The young lady greeted me in a courteous manner and asked me if she could be of any help.
I merely asked: "You guys have the Galaxy Nexus...
