StevanJ Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Im looking to buy another module, but I only use the touch controls to fly? Is there a list of modules that are compatible with the touch controls, specifically 3rd party as I know ED's are compatible..
Harlikwin Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 TBH I don't think most guys use the touch controls (you mean hand controllers) most folks use either mouse/tracball or point control (which is much better than the hand controllers) New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).
StevanJ Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 yeah, I know.. I've a warthog hotas sat on my shelf.. After a month using the touch/hand controllers to fly the f18, and huey I just can't go back.. the immersion isn't there.. do you know, if the mirage or viggen are touch control compatible? ie, I can fly the stick and throttle with the touch controls? I really want them, but I don't want to have to use my horas, id rather ebay it.

Also not having any tension to the cyclic and stick. Everytime I grab the cyclic with my touch controller, it snaps into position making my Ka-50 wobble. I know this is not answer to your question but was curious. Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass

Everytime I grab the cyclic with my touch controller, it snaps into position making my Ka-50 wobble. I know this is not answer to your question but was curious. So ive always used a Razer Tartarus even when i had my HOTAS set up, its incredibly handy with the Ka-50, but i honestly never use that module, I use the Huey, nearly every day, as you can fly that fully compatible with the touch controls (with the exception of rudder), all you need do is trim left rudder, get into a hover, trim a little until correct. Then go fly your mission.. A friend of mine convinced me, and i was blown away by the improvement on stick and throttle accuracy, versus my HOTAS. After a while, you feel a sort of instinct kick in, where you know if you pull quick and sharp on collective, the torque spins you.. If you drop the collective quick and sharp, you spin the other way.. Once you get that 'instinct' you kind of feel the aircraft through your hands, and the sound of the rotors, within a week of starting i was landing in stupid places just for fun. If im on a huey mission, ill only press the keyboard once to trim rudder. If i fly the FA18, i use the Razer but only for weapons and NWS, i can use rudder- stick and throttle on the FA-18 through the touch controllers, so its easier to taxi, takeoff air-to-air and land with the touch than it is on my HOTAS. Ill do all my flying 'in cockpit' and only ever really use the Razer to turn off NWS, and after ive switched on AutoPilot in the cockpit, ill use it for the TGP and/or weapon release.. The VR in the F-18 is still pretty early on, so im looking forward to see where it goes in the next few years, the Harrier 'Nozzle' control was able to be VR touch controlled last time i checked, so im sure that module will soon be implemented. But ive heard great things about the Mirage, and the Viggen, and it would be great if someone could tell me if those modules are 'touch compatible' (ie fly them by grabbing the stick with my virtual hands like the FA-18, because they are next on my list. The Mig-19 is, but the Mig-21 isnt, so having classification on the modules that do and dont work, would be perfect. I dont want to buy a module, and have to set up my HOTAS. Do you have the Mirage? Or Viggen, could you tell me i they are Touch Controller compatible (ie grab the stick and throttle with the VR hands)?
Baldrick33 Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I was intrigued so I tried the Huey & FA-18 which both worked (Reverb). Neither the Viggen nor Mirage seemed to allow control. Then again nor did the MiG-19 for me. I certainly wouldn't swap the controllers for the Warthog but they work ok. There is a world shortage of HOTAS at the moment so if you really never plan to use it maybe now is the time to seel it!

I said the same thing, I gave it a full week, then tidied the hotas away. mig19? i only use the beta, if that helps? im not going to sell it yet, every now and then I get into the harrier.. so, ill sell it when that goes full vr.. thanks baldrick33!
