Falcon questions

[tomnovint]

So I had ordered my Falcon a couple days back (can't wait til it arrives) and since then I have been thinking of a whole bunch of random questions.

First question being, does anyone know when your using the Falcon do you have to keep your arm up or can you rest it on the desk without it messing up the way you move/function?

Also when did y'all receive y'alls Falcon in the mail, did it take 3-4 days or sooner/later?

I'm going to hold off on more questions til I get an answer, I'm just really paranoid about the UPS or whoever is going to drop it off, how and where are they going to drop it... I ordered a new mic/headphones and I came home after work to find it just sitting there in plain daylight waiting for someone to take it. :angry: :glare:

When you're playing you want to keep your wrist straight and rest your elbow on the armrest on your chair. When you get used to it (after you get your workspace set up the right way), it is pretty comfortable. I've gone 10+ hour sessions with my Falcon.

3-4 days shipping to arrive


thx, tomnovint

Alright thanks Tom, I actually just got the falcon about right after that post earlier today. I'm still trying to figure it out with the whole setup thing, but its coming along with some help. :thumbup:

Hey everyone! After seeing the amazing discount ego was offering on the falcon, I bought one. But some people said some things that confused me. So I wanted to ask you guys a few questions I have.

1) can I play INS with a falcon? (and how well does it work if it does work)
2) I'm a little confused on how you use it. Do you still need a keyboard if you use a falcon.
3 ) can I use it as a mouse in all programs?

Thanks novints site is very hard to understand.

You cannot play INS right now, but we are close to releasing our F-Gen drivers in which you can play any game with the Falcon. In addition, we'll look to add as much forces into the games as we can, and in the case of shooters, we can probably get 80% of the forces in (and more when there is an sdk for the game)

The Falcon takes the place of your mouse, so you still use wasd on your keyboard. We're going to be adding in a gesture recognition feature into the Falcons controls, so it will be able to do even more in games and apps

The F-Gen drivers will let you use the Falcon as a mouse in any application.

thx, tomnovint

cool PIMP DADDY SMURF. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Make sure to download our latest drivers on our site (under the support tab)

thanks, tomnovint

I have to admit not only is the product god-like in how cool it looks, but we've got the head of the company right here answering our questions! That's just amazing! I would buy one if I had more money. Again, I must use my favored unit of measure for currency.

1 Novint Falcon = 1000 Ramen noodle packets.

Food is still a priority right now.

So I just hopped onto TF2 for the first time to test my falcon, but it was super sensitive and I kept spinning around in circles trying to move. I don't know if I had something set wrong or what, but I did however enjoy the kick whenever I shot or when I jumped I could feel it. Marvelous piece of gaming gear, my only question would have to be about the sensitivity and what I can do to lower it?

Thanks,

*Oh and thanks again for helping me out with my username and password :blush:
I forget a lot of things and making up a new username and password is just the end of me.

Hey a pet rock, I used to live on Ramen in college, so I hear ya lol

pimp daddy smurf, make sure you uninstall our old drivers, and reinstall new drivers from our website (under the support tab). Also, make sure that N VeNT is not running when playing steam games. That should fix the problems for you. Let us know if it doesn't

thx, tomnovint

What I would like to see, Tom, is a coded in ability for a server admin to send a remote command to the Falcon causing the device to slap the user for doing stupid stuff! That.... may not SELL falcons... but sure would bring a smile to my face

Can't wait till my falcon gets here!! Gonna make another video/promo for it.

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Hey Tom thanks for the help, my problem was that I plugged the falcon in too soon. Another member also had the same problem and he gave me some more helpful tips that he got from Eric, falcon support. Now my falcon is working great I can feel everything, the kick from the gun, texture changes, the impact when I jump, and something really handy was when I got shot I could actually feel from where the shot was coming from!

Many thanks,

John - PDS

*Oh and Un4Gvn you should have it to where you cut open the box and the camera zooms in with an intense theme music in the background. Then as you slowly open the box light starts to shine out from the box, like a pot of gold (Also you should make the film all in slow motion)

 

[tomnovint]

Hey Un4Gvn, have definitely felt welcome with ego everywhere. Very much appreciate your note.

nice, Ice Hearted Killer

Great idea SCSwat lol. Actually I did something kind of similar. We have an app where you can use one Falcon to control another (in essence they are robots). I've had that set up and messed with people before (keeping the master hidden behind me) - when they try and grab the handle I move it and say "ooooh... looks like it isn't comfortable with you touching it yet", etc. I've really had some people going lol

When you guys support international shipping, are you going to offer the deal again(as i heard it expires this friday....)

I'd like to pick one up, but sorta impossible right now. No ebay stores have them(like the page links to) and no international shipping!

 

[tomnovint]

I believe international shipping will go live on Monday. We'll have a different deal with a different eGo code (still a great deal) for it. thx, tomnovint
