The Novint Falcon Megathread! - Games

[QUOTE=Croco15;18703992]For anyone that missed the sale, you can get the Falcon bundle 20% off, if you use the code "CROCODILE". I hope this helps![/QUOTE] I'm talking with Tom to try and get a special Facepunch discount code set up.

I finally got a notification that it's being shipped, although I can't see which day it's going to arrive, instead right now all it will say is "Delivery status information will be provided if/when available". :/

I ordered mine Saturday and I haven't gotten any shipping confirmation yet.

[QUOTE=Galago;18707264]I ordered mine Saturday and I haven't gotten any shipping confirmation yet.[/QUOTE] Me too but I'm in Australia... Sooo yeah

Damn it, UPS has rescheduled for Tuesday.

Back - internet was temporarily cut off, but I booted up today after it was sorted by ISP and I got the email I've been waiting for! Got my tracking code can't wait for it to arrive. Seriously syked about this device!

Oh god. USPS != UPS Anyways, yay, I got an email saying that a shipping label has been printed with my address and is expected for pick up from novint tomorrow :3: I'm kinda worried about USPS shipping though. :ohdear:

Mine's scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but Im still wonderin about that orange box code

[QUOTE=Marler;18716672]what's wrong with USPS?[/QUOTE] Let's just say that I have far better luck with private couriers than I do with the postal service of either country involved.

I got my shipping confirmation; it's due the 9th.

[QUOTE=Galago;18717202]I got my shipping confirmation; it's due the 9th.[/QUOTE] nice one. What type of service does it say for shipping?

[QUOTE=Lapsus;18716788]Let's just say that I have far better luck with private couriers than I do with the postal service of either country involved.[/QUOTE] Ironic that I have never had a problem with USPS but now UPS decides to delay my package until after the weekend. Aaah I was so excited for my Falcon, now I gotta wait 2 extra days!

[QUOTE=Marler;18717299]nice one. What type of service does it say for shipping?[/QUOTE] It's UPS ground.

Tom Novint posting in here shows true product support. Does the pistol grip (and without it) have the option to right click because many games have alternate firing modes. [editline]03:07PM[/editline] Oh god I totally forgot. Does the falcon support Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield 2? [editline]03:12PM[/editline] Holy fuck. The falcon has directional recoil.

falcon has 3 buttons on the side of pistol, I presume one of them can be used for right click. The falcon supports battlefield 2 and with the F-gen drivers coming soon, modern warfare 2 will have support but it doesn't currently

I actually had two Falcons sent to me. Funny enough one was sent through UPS (from San Diego, CA) and the other USPS (from Albuquerque, NM). They both arrived on the same day (to Houston, TX). UPS came in the morning and USPS came in the afternoon. UPS had longer way to go though. As Marler said, one of the three side buttons can be set to right-click. No MW2 but, as Marler said, F-Gen will be taking care of that soon.

Yeah, F-Gen's supposed to be out by the end of the month.

Dang, my eCheck JUST got transferred. That took 4 days. So basically it's like I just ordered mine today.

What exactly is F-Gen?

[QUOTE=onox37;18719231]What exactly is F-Gen?[/QUOTE] Future Generation I guess not 100% sure, I'll check into it

It's a driver for the Novint that should provide support for most if not all games. To be more specific, people can make their own configurations and upload them, and you can select the best or create your own personalized config.

[QUOTE=LasPlagas;18719284]It's a driver for the Novint that should provide support for most if not all games.[/QUOTE] and normal windows!

Um, he may be asking what will F-Gen do. Either way, I'll answer it that way. F-Gen is what Novint is working to allow at least basic Falcon support for any game. It will be designed so that the community at large can build support. With it we will be able to configure control settings and forces for any program (Windows included). There will be a scripting system, pixel reading, and possibly memory reading to work with. So when done right the game could know what item you have and what settings to use with it. Other methods will be added as things progress.

Honestly, I have no idea. Lol. Could be Falcon-Generation.

[QUOTE=tomnovint;18692736]jordguitar, if you send a note to falconsales [at] novint [dot] com, we can order you a pistol grip manually thanks, tomnovint[/QUOTE] Yea I already did that but for whatever reason, it is EXTREMELY weird that you would rather sell these grips like this rather than getting alot of them and putting them on the site. Last time I did give me your paypal email to do the payment thing for a replacement power brick, I got the power brick for free.

Can't wait to get mine, but I have a question, When you use the falcon, must the grip stay perpendicular to the falcon, or does it have some wiggle room. What I mean is like this: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/99644/FalconExample.png[/img] Notice the hand is slightly turned, is the falcon capable of that?

I'm pretty sure the falcon can't do that. You'd have to make a custom grip or something with a ball joint to be able to turn the pistol grip.
