I haven't done much ITG with it yet, because my dad got angry at me a little while ago and said that when I got my Flux I couldn't play ITG with it for a week. But earlier when I was the only one here I tried Delirium on it and it was just fine. I still failed, but this was my fault. I'll work on that later.
By the way, are your panels debowed? |
That's really weird as the white film is supposed to prevent the lexens from getting scratched up during shipping. And my panels are debowed and I still keep getting all these weird pad misses during parts where I know I shouldn't have. It's probably because I flat foot and don't step in the center of the panel; I step pretty close to the center panel during quick streams. |

Yeah, I was really annoyed with the film on my tx's.
With the first one, they only had it over the bottom-right stationary panel, the right arrow, and the center stationary panel.
With the second one, it was on all three stationary panels but none of the arrows, THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAS HAD 3 CRACKED ARROWS BY THE WAY.
You'd think that, if they were going to bother putting the film on at all, they'd want to protect the arrows, not the cheap steel that was kind of beat up anyway. 
Were the CF's protective film at least not THAT bad?

They were alright. The factory people put them on every panel on the pad, and it does the job, the pad was in perfect condition after removing all of that stuff. I just wish that they'd lay them on top of the screws. When you rip it off there's still a little bit left under the screws on that panel, and to get it off you have to unscrew it a little. Its no big deal though, because you pretty much have to debow the panels anyway.

OK, if anyone knows, can they link me to it because I want to make that bar type for my Coblat Flux. Many thanks.

That's Dirty Needle's bar design. There's a guide on how to make it somewhere on that site but I can't seem to find it. |

Shoot. I really need the guide to make it. Have to dig it up. Thanks for the pics though.

That's probably why I couldn't find it; I was looking in the wrong section. Oh, and no problem.  |

I ordered mine about a week ago. It'll make a very nice Xmas present. 
I hear the CFs get better with age though, the the older it gets the more sensitive it is. Is that right? |

Well, after you debow them it'll take roughly about two months to break it in; then it will probably be about at it's peak sensitivity. |

| If you have the arcade mod, is it still necessary to disable the corner buttons? |

With the black and textured, you don't really need to beause they're pretty hard to get to register even when your not playing. I have to lean all of my weight on it in order to get the panel to register in menu selections. I'm not to sure about the clear and smooth mod kit though as I've never played on a Cobalt Flux with it installed.
Still, it couldn't hurt to do so, now could it?

I've found that I need to disable the corner buttons despite the fact that I have an arcade mod. Then again, I have big feet.
It kinda irritates me, only because there have been a few occasions in which I'd have liked to play Extreme US, as there is a handful of songs that I would like to play, but pretty much cannot due to the random goods I always get. Sadly, I do not have the equipment to download the savefile with which to diable to corner buttons, otherwise I certainly would. |

That sounds more like you having the problem rather then the pad. But in case it is the pad, check for the damged wires again. It's pretty easy to tell when one's damaged if you know what to look for. Basically, the wire should be in one peice and the rubber that the outer part of the wire shouldn't have any rips or tears in it. Also, it is a possibility that your screws are too tight.

I got my Cobalt Flux about two months ago and my wires are fine, it's been cleaned, and the screws are not too tight and not too loose. I nearly FC'd Charlene and then when I tried to quad-star a song on Easy, I got a pad way off. Oh yeah, and my screws are already stripping. The upper left screw in the center panel cannot be screwed in as it just rests in there now. My upper right screw in the center is also starting to do the same. It fell out during a song with candle steps. I'm getting pissed off with my Cobalt Flux. |

I already suggested this to Mariogirl on the CF forums, but in case anyone else is curious...

Pry up half of the velcro circle on the metal panel (the half where the wire goes under - it's easiest to use a knife). Stretch out the exposed end of the wire (which will probably be curled up) and flatten the velcro circle back over it. Then put everything back together. I have done this to 2 of my arrows when they started giving me Way Offs, and it worked both times. |
They really should make the wires under the velcro stretched out to begin with. The problem with them being curled up is that there isn't as much surface area for conduction. |
Oh, and I quoted myself in the middle there because it was copied from a different time when someone was having the same problem with their right arrow. This really works well, and anyone getting random pad crap should do it.
Edit: DarkCore, what are you using to unscrew the screws? I use a plain old screwdriver on both of my CFs. I've taken the panels off several times, and after a year and a half, I don't have a single stripped screw. In any case, you should probably do the toothpicks and wood filler thing, or just drill the holes through all the way and put bolts in them (that would take more work, but you'd never have to deal with it again).

| I use a regular screwdriver although my dad used some kind of electronic drill to remove my arcade mod screws. A screw literally fell out during Pandemonium (Hard) which was pretty ridiculous. :| |

Ouch. Never, ever use anything but a hand screwdriver on CF screws. Yes, it's less convenient, but the screws are only screwed into the wood. The screw holes simply aren't meant to stand up to the force of a drill.
