Since I have more time now, I thought I'd let you know what's happening with our Novint sponsorship.

After the success of the i37 LAN we've had a number of people use our referral code to order their own falcons & pistol grips. Now that international shipping is available I thought I'd confirm the most important information:

  • Referral Code (20% discount): atkfalcon
  • Discounted ATK Price: £138.50 ($226.49 USD)
  • Saving of $40 USD (original price: $266.49 USD)
  • Check out the Novint Store now!

*Please note that these costs do not included VAT/Customs Fees. I'd recommend contacting your local customs agency for more information regarding these fees.*

If you're unsure about whether you want a Novint Falcon, Cillit Bang has just won one and I'm sure he'll tell us first hand what it's like . See the thread here.

ATK Questions & Answers

You'll all remember that at i37 we accumulated many questions regarding the Falcons, so a couple of days ago I chose the most popular and contacted Novint to see what their official answers were:

  1. Are you going to produce a left handed grip?
    A left handed pistol grip is something we plan on, but we have no
    estimated release date for it.

  2. Will COD MW2 and Left4Dead 2 be supported for use with the Falcon as
    soon as they're released?
    Currently, we have no official plans to support CO MW2. However, we do have our F-Gen
    drivers planned for an official release later this year, with an Alpha version currently available
    for download from our forums. The F-Gen drivers will provide full cursor control, and may also
    provide some basic forces. For more information on the F-Gen Drivers, please
    head to the following links:

    Description: http://home.novint.com/support/answer.php?id=46
    F-Gen Alpha: http://home.novint.com/community/pho...ad.php?2,13420

    In regards to Left 4 Dead 2, it will function with F-Gen, similar to any
    other game title. However, at this time, we have no further announcements
    for this title.

  3. What other colours and grips are in the pipeline? How soon can we
    expect them?
    Currently, we have no other colours planned for the Falcon. However, if
    you are looking to customize your Falcon with various colours, you can head
    to the following link to purchase Falcon decals from skinit:

    We will have some pictures up with examples of these decals being used in
    the near future.

    In regards to grips, our next grip will likely be a wheel grip for racing
    games. However, we are also looking into other grip designs, and will make
    further announcements as things become more finalized.

  4. Anything else you want to say? Feel free to let me know your answers
    to some other questions I didn't ask.
    Should be about it The only other thing I want to say is that, if you
    do purchase a Falcon, I would recommend playing all games at the default
    settings for about 10-20 hours before trying to alter them. This is so as to
    allow you to understand the way the Falcon controls, and then tweak the
    settings as you see fit afterwards. For some, like myself, the defaults are
    perfect, and require very little adjustment outside of a slight
    increase/decrease in aim sensitivity.
