The answer depends on a lot of variables; what ship I'm flying, what the enemy is flying, how violent or gentle my stick inputs are, etc. As I said, it generally feels OK to me, but definitely not as responsive as newer games. It's not clunky enough to be frustrating though.

I can't speak for anyone else... I tested the behaviour on a clean install of Privateer, with my stick using the default control settings. Not editing of response curves whatsoever. Subjectively, it felt the same as always. It's hard to quantify responsiveness without some means of comparison.

At least as easy as any of my other old WC games. Truth be told though, the controls don't feel that great now that I'm used to newer titles.

Interesting find; pity they don't explain what they are actually editing. Final roll of the dice would be to try a different stick, or see if the GOG version works better. I just tested it myself, and there is no detectable dead-zone with my current setup.

For your reference, here is the .conf for the GOG version of Privateer. You can try changing some settings to see if it has any effect. # Lines starting with a # are commentlines. # They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option. [sdl] # fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in...

I would start with: core=auto cputype=auto cycles=auto I will dig around to see what joystick options are available. The DOSBox wiki has very little info in that regard.

Noted, that settles that. Maybe post your dosbox.conf file so we can have a look?

Have you progressed to any ship besides the Tarsus? It's not known for handling well. As for CPU type, leaving it on Auto always produces the best results for me.

Not much else to be done then. I managed to get my Logitech working quite nicely with the GOG releases, as well the Kilrathi Saga. YMMV, I suppose.

Hi and welcome! One possible solution is to see if your stick has configuration software that allows you to tweak deadzones and sensitivity. Profiles made in this way should work even for games that don't support such settings natively. You should also be able to apply a profile globally for...

Ugh, I hated working with enamels. They take ages to dry and stink to high heaven, not to mention the mess you have to clean up afterwards. I now use water-based paints exclusively.

Oooohhhhh, that workspace... Man, you have a fantastic setup. Most of my models were built on my parents' dining room table :-) Also, I have friend who's a huge 40k fan and has a few miniatures he's busy painting. Will definitely send him the link, he'll enjoy your work tremendously.

Interesting... So that means plastic sheet, I would assume. Never worked with it myself, I went all-balsa when I started scratch building. Note to @ChrisReid; This isn't a paper model as per your front page post.

I've been playing AoA for a few weeks now. Still a bit rough around the edges in some ways, but it has the makings of a solid RTS. It certainly scratches the "blow stuff up with tanks" itch I've been having.

Here's me! http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994723138/

So, this may seem like a silly question to ask at this point, but is this going to be a papercraft model?
