AAARRRGGHHHH! Again and again YOUR CUSTOMERS ask for a generic driver and again and again you point them to other software houses to do YOUR JOB. Can't you see that we don't just want to use the controller in specific applications? So you produce an API, great for high end apps like CAD etc. that be...

Excellent Jim, that gives me a lot to go on. I'll dig around to see if there is anything left hanging about.

Cheers.

Hi all, Ok, I have been trying to install RBC9's driver but failed miserably. I did notice however, some strange behaviour related to that festival of fun. I originally installed my SP on a USB port directly connected to the motherboard (Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe) and it installed fine, used it for ages...

Thanks for the reply Eric. Nice to know it's not a fault on my part that is preventing it from working. Hopefully 3Dx will see sense sometime soon and release a generic driver (or tell us why it's impossible). Anyway, for now I have uninstalled the RBC driver and will wait and see what the future br...

What is it that the pilot has over the explorer? Just the LCD screen? Doesnt the explorer do the same as the pilot, just without the LCD? Have a look at: http://www.3dconnexion.com/docs/SpaceExplorer_Datasheet.pdf There is a comparisson chart on the datasheet which will tell you all you need to kno...

Are these new models similar to the way a spaceball was used? Should I just buy a spaceball 5000? Can you still buy them new? i cannot locate them anywhere but used on Ebay. To answer your first question, "which to choose", I would say if CAD is your job and you switch between apps then a...

Vista Ultimate 32bit Ok, I figured out that I just install the setup file. All goes well until I change the driver to the RBC9 one. On four occasions I have tried, the driver installs ok but has a note saying the device cannot start. On another occasion, I got a BSOD at the end of the driver change ...

Pi,


Ok, got the files. now are there any additional files I need from you to work with the Space pilot? I got the impression you were developing an addon of some sorts or did I read that wrong....

yea you bet it does Space Pilot works just fine :] I'm getting confused now.... Q. Does this driver work with the Spacepilot in Vista 32bit? Q. Using this Driver, does it affect "built in" support i.e. does it interfere with Solidworks 2008 or Max native 3Dx support (for example). Q. Is i...

In Sketchup, have you tried maually activating the 3Dx addon?

View>Toolbars>3DxSketchup

This is what I had to do to get it working with my SpacePilot.

No idea on your Photoshop problem I'm afraid, works fine on CS3 here.

I'm a programmer and will download the SDK and give it a shot. Isn't it sad that you have to do this? We have one of the most innovative pieces of hardware, crying out to have a driver which lets us, the users use it in all sorts of innovative ways yet it is left to those very users to come up with...
