Xbox 360

A good tip :

 

 

use XBOX360 USB controller to get a perfect Skwhal controller :)

 

analog stick so good, and buttons configured too :)

 

 

Better than any HOTAS

 

 

In addition of a X52 of course :)

..I don't think so. Actually, I'm using an Logtech Chillstream XBox360 controller and is so cool (both meanings ;)). It's intuitive and pretty easy to use but you get to need to bind more functions and 8 digital buttons, two analog ones, one crosspad and two sticks aren't just enough.

Hey you guys, a friend of mine just got black shark. I guess after hearing me rave about it constantly he decided to get it. thing is, he is totally new to sims, and he doesnt even have a flight stick.

 

I am just wondering if you guys map the controller "in-game" or if you use something like xpadder or something.

 

I am also wondering if anyone has been able to use one of the analog sticks (right stick) to control pilot head movement. and if so how do you do this. Thanks guys.

 

I just figure if I can get this guy into it, he will end up buying the proper gear, but without any reasonable means of controlling the aircraft, he will probably just get frustrated and lose interest.

 

if you guys dont mind sharing your xbox controller configuration for DCS that would be great. I would really appreciate it.

Tbh, be nice to the guy and buy him a stick as a reward for supporting a good product. Acceptable sticks start at only like 50 dollars new, if even that.

 

And then teach him to use the mouse in the left hand to control view orientation. Takes a bit of getting used to but is second only to TrackIR once you've gotten used to it.
