I'll probably be watching the game tonight, but I'll stop
by to let someone kick me around for a bit.

I *will* be taking names however, anyone who tharshes
my mech will be in for it whenever we get a server up.

I think you will need to download something from Saitek site.  There was something I needed with my Cyborg EVO stick but I can't remember what it was.  And if you don't have the stick programming software, I would get that too.

Windows 2000/XP

We're afraid that this product is not directly supported under Windows 2000/XP; it was discontinued in production some time ago and as a result will not receive any more driver updates. Due to changes in the way drivers work under 2000 and XP we, just like Microsoft, will only be supporting our current USB-connected devices from now on. You can add it as a 6 button joystick w/POV and throttle (remember to tick the Enable Rudder/Pedals box when you do) and that will get the stick working with all but four of the base buttons. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience

How about all of us, Me, frey, t00l, Lear, Ol Buzzard, Malak,  J. Carney NCC-18401, BearSlayer, LikkerPig and, Oh, what the heck...even Hexx... :P Meeting on TS and trying out the Co-Op missions (7 in all)  together...? And anyone else, of course.
First...(All this assuming you have a fresh install)
Make sure you have the MS update here:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/mw4mercs/
If you have the 2 MS "MechPacks", install them at this point.  ;)
Then download this update from MekTek:
http://www.mektek.net/download.php?op=getit&lid=569
And then this update, also from MekTek:
http://www.mektek.net/projects/mp3/
And then download the Full Installer from the New Battlefields here (this one gives you the Co-Op missions) :
http://www.newbattlefields.com/files.php

Now..that wasn't so bad...was it...? ;D
Let's say about 9 PM EST (Time Negociable) Sat night? (As in today... :P )

Any takers...?

What drivers did you use with the 98 config ?? was it the ones on the CD that came with it ? The ones on their website are way old too and it would  lose its center occasionally too. Luckily I keep an old flightstick as a backup.

Anyway, if XP is anything like 98 you may be able to force the 98 drivers into XP but im not sure. Is XP not recognizing the *.inf as a legit driver file ??

Seems like there is a patch for the driver ..  It's been over a year now since we got the DL ..  can't remember for certain.  I know Best Buy still sells them ..   ya might check and see.  If there is a new up-dated patch it might be a good thing for those of us who have the X-45 to know.

thanks in advance

For the X45, I had to download and run the XP driver, even said NOT to run the disk that came with it, use the downloaded driver instead. But it all worked great after I did that, and haven't had any issues.

And had a blast yesterday playing MW with Lear, Likkerpig, Knob, Tool, Frey, and BearSlayer. Malak said he should be good to go in the next day or so. Now if we could get a few more online at the same time, maybe we can finish those Co-Op missions without getting killed.  :P
After some have gotten the hang of it more, maybe we can even start teaming up and having player vs player battles.  ;)

Oh, I think we did alright on the PvP battles. ;D

I wonder if Frey's head still hurts from that DFA shot I hit him with! :rofl:

Got the stick working again also....

Should be ready next time you guys go.
Downloaded the New Battlefields full install thing &
kept getting some error message about 16bit OS when trying to run it.
Finally downloaded it again and it installed fine.

Cool! Come on TS and look to see if we're in the MW room, we'll do some of the Co-Op missions sometime.
I mean, it's not like they got T-Bombs in this game or something.  :P
Even had Reejr come on as I was logging off.
We might get enough for some good fights yet.  ;D
