If I like black metal? It's cute.

So, quick update. The reason the Wingman series is so tricky appears to be Logitech used their own gameport interface, Logitech ADI. This is something I know nothing about right now so reading is on the schedule. Another thing is, I can't seem to find anywhere the schematics for the Interceptor. That and me not knowing the details of that ADI means I can't figure out yet how one could possibly create an adapter for this stick. 2 things then I would need to know. Now, there is one idea that popped up but it relies on the 2 above points being sussed out. I have an Arduino Uno laying around and I am wondering now if I could use that somehow to set up a virtual joystick in Windows 10 using vjoy (IIRC). Of course, I would need to either write the software or get it somehow. That's a lot of somehows.

This one https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-WingMan-Interceptor-9-Button-Joystick/dp/B00000JDFK 9 buttons + 3 8-way hats and 3 axis. As for a new stick, that will be the day I am stinking rich, after spending dosh on a full x-52 pro + pedals setup, and only if the new stick proves to be as smooth as the Interceptor. As for working, I would be very surprised if it was broken as it worked perfectly before I put it on the shelf after getting a new pc back then. Would expect dusting it off would be sufficient.

Aaah Call of Duty, I thought you said call someone but yeah, isn't that the thing that is so popular among first graders nowadays?

For aircrafts, the Aérospatiale Alouette II hands down. That thing is sheer class. For airplanes, then it's either the Sopwith Camel, the DeHavilland Mosquito or the Douglas DC-3 Dakota. Probably the Camel but it's a tough choice.

Looking at various adapters including the Rockfire linked above. There seems to be something odd about Logitech's Wingman series as some adapters explicitly state they do not work with that single one line of sticks, and there are some reviews of the Rockfire that say the same about that adapter while others say, in vague terms, they do work. Same thing about the http://www.mayflash.com/Products/PCUSB/PC017.html This will take some serious looking into.

The goal is pretty straight forward. The old stick is the smoothest flight stick I have ever owned, putting all others to shame. I love the versatility of the X-52 but it is nowhere near as smooth on the axis.

Ooooh boy haha BLR just upped their game there. A classic here as well

Never heard of Chiller Theater but will look it up! One guy I came across on the wide web put together these collections called Monsterpiece Theater (not the Sesame Street thing) where he typically would bundle together an episode of some camp 60's series, or an animation of same caliber, with movie commercials from that era, and the main feature which would span from Robot Monster and Plan 9 to slightly more professionally made sillyness. He did an absolute cracking job putting together a real show for the entire evening. Well worth checking out if you stumble across that.

Here is the situation: I have an old Logitech Wingman Interceptor joystick that has one of them gameport plugs. Unfortunately, gameport sockets went out with my last SB16 card and this laptop running Windows 10 (64) only has USB sockets. So, I am looking for the most reliable, and easiest (if not mutually exclusive) way of hooking this stick up to the laptop. 2 issues I can think of: Physical. I'm assuming that there are adaptors for the job but would like to hear from first hand experience which adaptor to go for, if that is indeed the solution. Drivers and software. The Interceptor was programmable and came with the necessary software. I have absolutely no idea if this software will run at all on a modern computer with a 64 bit OS. I do run DOSBox though for older games and there just might be a possibility that the Interceptor has DOS friendly software. Then the driver issue. I assume the drivers would have to be compatible with Windows 10 64 bit but I have no idea how backward compatible W10 is (knowing Win 8.1 was not backwards compatible at all most of the time). Any insight on how to go about it? Again, the goal is to have a gameport joystick fully working with the programming software that came with it, in a DOS environment as well as a Win 10 environment running Win 95 programs (TIE Fighter 98 from Steam to be exact). Secondary: I also have a Saitek X-52 pro which I also plan to use parallell to the Interceptor. The reason is the Saitek has a throttle unit with all the buttons I need for additional control of an Imperial star fighter. I seem to remember there is freeware that allows me to have multiple physical sticks report to Windows as one virtual one. The name of that software eludes me though so if it rings a bell to you, could you chime in please?

Not knowing which movies you have seen or definitely do not want to see, and to throw in a good dose of sacrilege, one could always attempt to sit through these blatant rip-offs for the laughs Turkish Star Wars is nothing, I hear you say, you're not afraid you say? Ok so let's begin: Starcrash Message From Space Battle Beyond The Stars How they managed to get stuck beyond the stars is beyond me. Must be a rather cold and dark place that.

Starcash: An outlaw smuggler and her alien companion must stop the evil Count Zarth Arn's plans of galactic wealth and power through the sale of rip-off action figures.

Currently attempting to not look like an idiot while playing TIE Fighter. Good grief this is way harder than I remember it. Methinks this best be left for youngsters who can act blistering fast.

One can not talk about 50's and 60's pop trash without mentioning these: The Creature From The Black Lagoon It Came From Outer Space It Conquered The World All true classics and none of them academy award winners.

If low budget 60's sci-fi is your poison, there are a couple of more movies I like to present. The first is one of the rare ones where production quality actually is pretty good (better than most of the acting at least and way better than the plot). The Trollenberg Terror (a.k.a. The Crawling Eye) The other one is what can best be described as so rotten in every way it is good: Teenagers From Outer Space Both of them great flicks in my book but for different reasons.

Been very much on and off with FSX. Still haven't completed my x-country Canadian tour though... One day when spare time and willpower is plenty. I have played various flight sims since very simplistic sims on the Commodore 64. Solo Flight, anyone? As for preparing for flying anything in KSP, I'd say no unless a player comes into the sim world with no concept at all about flight sims. Even then it's going to be limited to figuring out that you can pitch the nose up and down etc. Flight physics in KSP is very kerbal indeed. For the rocket part, might as well prepare with Pac Man, just as useful as any filght sim.

Ooooh that's one I haven't seen in a couple of decades. Love me some 50's/60's drive-in/killer b movie. Not sure if you have but if you haven't, might take a look at these Japanese flicks as well, about the exploits of the hero Starman against assorted cheapo space monsters.

What did the hillbilly say when he first saw a tricycle? Wheel, wheel, wheel, whaddawee have here?

If you post a good joke in the terrible jokes thread then I would be very offended. (I might know one or two but methinks this place is not the place for Jimmy Carr jokes)

What do you call someone who takes other people's money and valuables under threats of terrible word plays? A pundit What does Santa shout when he spots a chimney below? Tally ho ho ho There. Any more terrible than that and I would want to spontaneously self combust...

Ego Star Wars: The Complete Saga: The Emperor decides to take all matters in his own hands and do all the jobs, tasks, fly all the crafts and fire all the guns himself and no, you can't play with his guns either so don't ask. In fact, the Emperor has disabled the game controls so there. The Elder Scrolls Area: You are thrown into a world of utter generic emptyness, no town, no NPC, no plot, no nothing on the largest map the game world has ever seen. No fast travel either. Thief 2: The Meal Age: Garrett has reached his second birthday and today he is a big boy. He no longer has to eat that horrible baby food.

^This. If we all did what was safe then there would be no airplanes, no helicopters, no manned rockets, no ISS, no submarines, no ships, etc etc. In fact, there would be very few things we have now that would have been if noone took risks. All those things I mentioned we now take for granted came through people risking life and limb. If we now sit down on whatever laurels we can find, then wave good bye to tecnhological and scientific progress.

At least you complete the game loading into memory. That's not a given. A few contenders: Unnamed text adventure (Commodore 64): What it was about I will never know. The code, entirely in BASIC, did not include commands to move around. I could, if I so wished, pick up and put down a piece of string for as many times as I could possibly want. (main entry) Tower Of Hanoi (DOS): The classic ToH game but without any rules. Feel free to move the discs around with absolutely no restrictions. Ultima 9 (Win 98SE & XP): Avatar returns to Britannia one final time to battle the Guardian, fighting glitches, bugs, horrible voice actors, talking chickens and flying goats, and memory leaks, as well as witnessing the total destruction of the entire Ultima franchise. What's a paladin? Avatar's knowledge of the land is not great.
