- Stellaris (after the release of Federations DLC) => Very nice update, really worth it...
- X4: Foundations (after the release of Split Vendetta DLC). Very nice update, lots of bugs fixed (some new introduced). Really worth it
- World of Warships => just tryint it out. Very good... for a weekend, then a bit repetitive
- Bioshock Remastered Edition => Oh my! A wonderful game. Like System Shock 2, just in 4K. Just awesome :)
- Unity3D => spent already around 10 hours of tutorials & 2 other full days fiddling with it.... Building my 1st space empire game :)

Quoting: Patola

Quoting: Boldos(After ~150h spent in X3 and 200+ hours playing this beauty, I'm seriously thinking about "trying" HOTAS [never used one before] :))

To be frank, although I love using HOTAS to play my spaceship games, I have to admit it is very tiresome compared to a gamepad or device like the Steam Controller. Besides that, from what I've seen it does not allow for greater skill, sometimes even seems you're somewhat handicapped compared to other devices, because you are dealing with something bigger and more cumbersome. What the HOTAS kits seem to deliver is a more realistic and mechanical experience which might help immersion. So if my impression holds, if you have always played in other ways and do not have the urge to feel like a pilot in a cabin, there is no point in buying a HOTAS kit.

Steam Controller with X4?
Hmmmm, I actually managed to buy one cheap the last time it went on sale (for the last time :) ), so I actually might try this combo!

You keep giving me ideas to try and find new ways how to enjoy X4!
Thanks guys! :woot:

Quoting: BoldosI read that X4 support for HOTAS is not that great, unfortunately.
Is that correct?

I've tested for long hours with a Thrustmaster Warthog and my current HOTAS, which is a Logitech X52 Pro. Both worked wonderfully. Besides the pre-made profiles, I was able to configure them very much the way I liked. I cannot imagine how could someone say its support is anything else than stellar. And I configured the same HOTAS kits on Elite, and the X52 Pro on Star Citizen and other games, to have a suffiently good parameter for comparison.

What is the criticism, specifically? What did you "heard" about its support?

I saw some rants about this on Steam X4 phorums, Youtube and Reddit.

Some of the topics:

Yeah, I know, majority are really old, on the other hand, there are rather lots of them, and some of these are rather new... So that is why I'm asking here, if the issues are still present, or if there was any significant progress on this?

Time to wait...

What you got ?

Personally have a warthog, With the 3 patch out I will give X4 another go.

This one:

Didn't really want to go for the most expensive ones as I don't know how much I'll actually use it.
But that one reportedly works well on linux, and seems to be "good enough" quality, so I guess I'll be fine.

Good choice, IIRC it uses HALL sensors too, seems to be well recommended my Elite/SC players.

It this worth €20?

Why oh why do they keep shoving Intell stuff down the consumer's throats? :><:
At that price level, Intel CPU (whith that GPU) cannot be really competitive against any AMD APU-based laptop (including the windows tax).

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: BoldosHmmmm...
My Folding client seems to support calculataion of Cancer, Alzhheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, but no COVID-19...?

FYI: I'm using web control UI; not using fahcontrol => I failed installing it on Ubuntu 18.04, 19.04, 19.10 and 20.04beta, and after trying all possible solutions (none of them worked) I just gave up trying for now....

This was answered above:

Quoting: Salvatos"Any" includes COVID-19 work units, and those are currently handed out with the highest priority, so if you want to focus on that, "Any" is the way to go for now. I believe they want to add a specific category in the next client release, but that could be a whiel

Oh, I missed that one. Thanks for clarification :)
