Talking...talking...but no walking .
you still dont understand, it wont prove anything about what is being talked here. If I win then you will come up with another excuse if you kill me then you will think that is validation of what you said. but the truth is the only way to actually prove to yourself is if you actually get the stuff yourself then compare it to how you played before. playing at a friends house for 10 minutes doesnt prove that you actually have used the equipment, it only proves that you couldnt play with your friends equipment as you arent used to it.
if equipment really didnt matter then you wouldnt have players here trying to upgrade their computers and equipment. after all what is the point if nothing is going to improve their game? the fact that people come here time after time asking about this stick or that stick or this video card or which monitor is better is proof in itself that it will improve somebody's game. after all if you have a better monitor and a better stick your aiming will increase as you can see better and identify targets. if you can go from a computer than plays with no eye candy than to one that plays with all the eye candy and full frames, dont you think that it will help you see that gv that you couldnt see before? if you have 3 screens and see from wingtip to wingtip dont you think that is an advantage over somebody who has a 19 inch monitor?
you are arguing for the sake of arguing. I have many times shaken a con from behind my by simply diving into the ground and turning around the trees. reason for that is the other guys computer cant process fps as fast as he wants so he loses sight of me for one split second where i can turn and be gone and back on his six.
have you read how how many threads has been 10 or 15 pages long about how ch hardware is so much better than saitek's even though it costs about 3 times as much as an x52? you think if those people didnt think it would improve their game that they would spend those 300 bucks just for the hell of it? or get a video card that costs 300 bucks over another that costs 100 if they didnt think the eye candy would help identify targets better?
the fact that you cant afford it or wont buy it doesnt really prove that you can play the game with just the bare essentials and buying extra equipment is a waste of money. use fraps to record a fight that you can keep trak of a con just like I did in my film while only using your stick and a keyboard would help more to validate your point than anything else. but I seriously doubt that you can record a film like that.
also record your views just looking around an airplane up down, left, right, up, down, behind and basically 360 around a p51. then upload to youtube. then I'll do the same using trakir. if you can look around as well and just as fast as well as I can see with trakir then you will prove the point that trakir is useless. you dont have to be in combat just up in the air and look around every single inch outside of that cockpit. let me know when you are ready.
so do either of the two choices i have give and we will compare to see if I really am wasting my money or you can perhaps improve your game a little.
