Some of you will have received an Affiliation request recently from Tiiga to join with the XPLOR organization for the primary purposes of proffered trade rates, logistical support and intelligence sharing.

Strut and I (and a few others) discussed the options available to us and have decided to accept their invitation on behalf of the Corporation as a whole as their goals align with ours as they currently stand. If you have been directly invited, please feel free to accept the affiliate invitation request. You will remain a primary member of IVC with an affiliation with XPLOR (currently at 5,000+ members).

We will review our position the closer we come to the release of the Persistent Universe when these relationships will actually matter, and make decisions on any affiliations that we forge up until then to decide if they will be maintained or not.

Prior to the release of the PU, organization level affiliations should be available and we can set these relationships that the top level without individuals having to worry about them.

If anybody has any concerns, please let me know

In relation to Highways post above keep in mind that we as an org -IVP- will be looking into alliances and relationships with other Orgs as we evolve, so the more "feelers" out the better. Knowledge is power, and info effects wealth creation, after all wealth buys ships and attracts others. Also loose lips sinks ships so disciplined OPSEC in regards to anything we talk about can and may have future repercussions.

only took 15mins to download... ...........................That will teach you to contaminate my pristine runways with a bolt or two!!

Put your knives away Highway, only joking. I,m D/Ling at betwwen 0.5 -- 1.2MBs, so its going to take me a couple of hours at least

It seems like the launch of the Arena went pretty well on the whole, but many of us had issues with the Warthog HOTAS.

See the linked article for an XML profile to fix it!


Arena Commander Launch Response

Thanks Highway, will be trying this tonight, also saw in the forums to make sure your Stick is #1 and throttle #2 in your game controller settings.

The XML works great, ive taken both the Hornet and the 300I for a spin in the Vanddul Swarm Mission and have had a ball, it seems to me they have nerfed the Hornet as it seems easier to kill Vanduul  in the 300I. Anyway i got up to wave 7 in the 300I, and only 5 in the Hornet. Heres some pics.

Ok ive worked out the SAITEK Pedals, through trial and error, so if you want "YAW" try this:

My controllers are: .1 Joystick .2 Throttle .3 Rudder Pedals

Newer version pending

Just got mine working too, not sure if i prefer yaw or roll on them...

Roll on your pedals is just not right, for me anyway

Today's Patch changes everyone's hangar into the Deluxe Hangar and puts the two finalists ships from The Next Great Star ship on display. Heres some pic of my Hangar, its looks like its about 500 meters long.

Got to Wave 13 ( probably very insignificant compared to a 13 year old - a curse on all pimply faced, hormonal, obnoxious teenagers)

Any new updates? I was having control issues before I left, not sure if I have to play mouse and keyboard until I can set up my own controls.

We can help you with that...

You'll need a custom XML file to map your buttons / axis across your controllers, and note that Star Citizen currently only sees your first 4 controllers as listed in your game controller properties window.

There is a custom XML map in the C Coy file browser on TS for a Warthog Joystick in slot 1, Warthog Throttle in slot 2 and Pedals in slot 3

Sounds great, I will look for u guys when I get back in a few days. I am going to fly with my X65 and I have a program that changes the order that my controlers are listed at if that helps.

If you've got a program to do that, it would be great... Does it work in Win 7 64 bit?

Dam Star Citizen, still stuck on Loading Screen.  

I thought you'd fixed that by pulling the X52?
