more on apache air assault.

[Symonator]

the screenies look quite poor.. is that console? it wasnt that bad on the demo... really jaggy lookin.

ANYWAY been visiting the forums for yuplay, so still lookin forward to it.

I want to try that hind really badly , also the fire scout aka the UAV from bfbc2.

It's from PS3 using the XMB screen shot feature (if you know how to use it). They came out at 720p but I reduced by half them in a shitty Mac free paint program so I doubt they're gonna be great quality.

[Symonator]

well lookin forward to it, i picked up a thrustmaster from a friend this afternoon for a tenner, since he doesn't have a ps3 anymore.

So.. i should have some fun with that +aaa.

edit: glad to see someone is already using it on the apache forums



mwuhahaha.

[InfiniteStates]

Wow looks nice

I hear that the rudder isn't properly centred though, so you need constant twist on the stick to keep it straight...

You tried it on the demo?

[Symonator]

yeah i read about the rudder on the sticks, not just this one.
I'll try it.

Does it work on the demo? thought they didn't lol.
I'll try later then.

[InfiniteStates]

Should do - there's a control option for it...

[YorkshirePud]

i look forward to your review! the PS3 needs more decent sims

george lucas wont listen to me anymore when i ask for this....

That was an AWESOME freaking game on the PC, and if you had a gravis ultrasound, the theme music was too.

[InfiniteStates]

That and the Tie Fighter equivalent were outstanding.

Both had shitty escort missions though - fuck you Tie bombers! :yuush:

[YorkshirePud]

HAHAHAH the x-wing geeks come out of the closet! epic

tie fighter was so much better, excellent to be the bad guys! and the IMUSE sound system was awesome.

escort missions sucked i remember playing a mission and some Z-95 Headhunters jumped into the area i moved to intercept thinking ahahah ha ha i shall smote you easily and then they fired Space rockets at the corvette i was protecting basically WTF! :yuush: :XD

Infinite, it's not easy to use this flight stick.. it's a bit daunting.

The demo wouldn't recognise it at first.. had to write a post on the forums and someone replied with some useful info so that is now sorted.

But controlling the amount of power etc on the collective is much much better, u get some pedal like buttons on the collective stick itself (i call it collective, dunno what its officially called) where you can control the left/right steer with pedal buttons and increase/decrease power..then you can twist the joystick itself for the rudder and move the copter in general, which is slightly off center but you can adjust a wheel under the stick to correct it (think its just like a calibration).
One you do that - it all works fine.

But gettin used to the button layout is a bit mind boggling at first.
Anyways realistic mode + stick is great but kinda hard at the same time, i was all over the shop lol.

That's to be expected I guess - first time I played an FPS with a Dual Shock, after coming from an N64 pad, I spent most of my time looking at the floor, spinning in circles in a corner somewhere. Thankfully it was Timesplitters and it was offline

Look on the bright side...you've still got a couple of days to practice before you let the side down in co-op LOL (which I hear can get fekin hard).

Plus, you can separate Apache and Battlefield and not undo all your hard earned chopper skills there.


@Yorkshire - shit, my memory of it was a lot rosier than reality...
