Well, most of the parts I need for my custom joystick have shipped. I need to pickup a new multimeter, but other than that, I think I have everything I need.
I wonder if those ship UI's will touchscreen compatible. They sure look like they're almost optimized for that sort of input.

Oh well, I guess I'll try practicing some more this week. Or I'll break down and buy some pedals and slave roll to them. Pitch/yaw on the stick works so well for steadying aim.
Well, even if SC doesn't release a tablet ship interface, the community already has it covered using Roccat Power Grid:

This will also be totally updated for the 2.0 UI update.
The cool thing about this is you can just run it on some cheap Android tablets, and use multiple tablets to get whatever config you want. As you can see above - he has a couple of small tablets flanking a bigger center tablet.
Amateur question, how does something like that work? Are the tablets plugged into the PC to share the game info?
Working off my phone link has too many pictures to make sense of what is happening.

That looks expensive.

I read the weekly update/monthly report over lunch today. Holy smokes. Are they really THAT close to releasing 2.0 or is this all hype (like Star Marine) that's going to come back and bite them in the ass?
I'm hopeful that they really are close and this isn't hype (i.e. they learned their lesson on setting expectations).

There doesn't appear to be many blockers left to deal with. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it this month. The fact that they are doing zero patching or hotfixing to 1.3 is a pretty good indicator...
Yup. I think the response from Disco in one of the chat rolls was "Very, very, very, very soon".
I mean, not writing another weekly report means 2.0 is released this week......
Well, it's going to go to the PTU first for at least a week. So, we'll be seeing that sometime soon I would hope.
BTW, the launcher itself has received an update, so don't get too hyped up everyone.
That said, launcher updates are usually a sign they are about to drop something very different on us.
Just saw that the newest version of the VKB Black Mamba went up for pre-order so I grabbed myself one. Now, just to get a nice Crosswind Pedal set and I'll be well on my way.
Probably not as much as you think. I mean, half the time you can get a free tablet anymore with a new phone purchase/contract or PC purchase, so a lot of people have them laying around. Add in one or two old smartphones and you are done.
I myself have a Samsung S3 laying around which I would easily add to this kind of setup, but I am probably going VR, in which case, the tablets will not really be that useful to me.
