The Novint Falcon Megathread! - Games

Which color do you guys think looks best on a Falcon.

Colorware should paint them :) I'd get mine black/red.

[QUOTE=TehSpah;18809218]Which color do you guys think looks best on a Falcon.[/QUOTE] Black, all the way.

I got Black, but an idea I just had was: Would it be possible to sell the shells for the Falcon (so, the outside colored part, I have to assume it comes off somehow) so people could paint or do whatever to it without messing up any of the internals. Tell me Tom, are they easily removable/is this idea plausible? I'd buy an extra one and repaint it camouflage with my model paints. It'd be awesome.

I finally got this today, and I must say, TF2 is awesome again. Of course, because I love the force feedback, I took it to the max, needless to say, my wall shook while I was firing the Heavy's minigin.

Thanks for the help tom, and fellow facepunchers. Emailed support, should be able to finish downloading soon :D Hopefully before my Falcon comes lol ;D

If Novint were to give a special deal for Facepunch users, just make it applicable to users with a join date before 2010. It's the end of the year, and so the new 2010 members weren't even around when this thread was created. A single code cannot be used in this situation, but maybe if you created thousands of codes. Create the following codes to have a 30% discount: A72FPDSCNT1, ... , R3AFPDSCNT232000. There is ~232000 Facepunch accounts, so if you made a bot to send a PM containing a code that can only be used once to accounts [url]http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=1[/url] through [url]http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=232000[/url], you would have a system where everyone got a code and no one else outside of facepunch can use it. Sounds like a lot of work for Facepunch, but I wanted to give a practical system for the problem at hand. [editline]01:01AM[/editline] I just noticed that [url]http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=232000[/url] is not even close to the newest member, so they must not include permabanned members in their total amount of members.

People who have alts, like myself, would end up getting multiple codes and then have the ability to pawn it off. I don't see why we can't just have a take-it-or-leave-it system, where whoever wants a code PMs Tommybro and whoever doesn't want a code can sit in the corner sucking on their thumb or whatnot.

I'm so pissed that I completely overlooked this thread. I'd never heard of this thing until now, but if I had seen it during black friday I would have pounced on it like a rabid cheetah. So pissed...

I'm waiting on the shipping confirmation still. =( It's funny how I discover something that I can't live without, yet I have been since I was born =P. I am restless and don't want to play any games that I will be able to play with the Falcon once I get it, so I merely sit as my sanity slips away heh.

Especially because with some guns you have to have a really tight grip.

Ok guys I'm going to try and get this thing rolling. Referral code is, palidiscount So 40% off till Monday 14th at Midnight. That's making it like $110 I believe or somewhere around there (off top of my head). If I can get 3 referrals from this, the Falcon I will get shall be given away for Christmas :D So get people to use this code, as the Falcon is going to work it's way back into the community anyway. AGAIN, REFERRAL CODE: palidiscount

Anyone know how long it takes the Falcon to get to the UK from LA? So far it's been 3 days according to the USPS details. Detailed Results: International Dispatch, December 06, 2009, 2:43 pm, ISC LOS ANGELES CA (USPS) Arrival Electronic Shipping Info Received, December 02, 2009

I've been spending my day off staring at the box containing my Falcon. I want it to be Christmas so I can open it :< (Except I won't be able to use it for very long after wards, we're having the Christmas party at our house. I have to [i]interact[/i] with people, how old fashioned.)

Garry wont do official support for the falcon :(

[QUOTE=jordguitar;18819213]Garry wont do official support for the falcon :([/QUOTE] He should, it would bring about more business and make gmod more interactive. However, being a game where you can mod almost everything, it would probably be hard to get the falcon to interact with everything efficiently. That's probably his reasoning.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;18819993]He said 2 weeks of coding to me on twitter and also that it will only benefit 4 people :([/QUOTE] Inundate his email guys, we'll show him just how many four people really is. :D

[QUOTE=jordguitar;18819993]He said 2 weeks of coding to me on twitter and also that it will only benefit 4 people :([/QUOTE] I see his predicament, but honestly the number is much higher than four, the Novint Falcon is only getting more popular, and with Christmas comming up I'm sure the number of users will get a large boost. Better to do it now than wait until you have a large group of anxious Gmod users who are complaining at lack of support.

I'm getting the hang of this Falcon business. I really like it. The NVeNT 2D navigation for regular PC work is pretty good too; I got to this page with it.

Yeah, N Vent V2 works pretty well for basic Windows navigation, not so much for games.

damn. I just want mine to come!
