Krunkskimo Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 after realizing i could never play properly with a 360 controler i went out and got a Saitek AV8R-01 joystick. i was instrested in who else had this and how you had it configured. im trying to set up my POV hat perminatly to my 'shkivol' (misspelling?) and rest to the switches to key elements of the weapon systems. the only problem i have is no trackir but, when im in training missions and take control, my mouse works as my head movement + mouse wheel zooms. this option untoggles as soon as i change views though and i cant find the command in the control settings to duplicate this. does anyone know where i can find it?

The mouse thing is actually a bug that happens to be useful too. Press ESC twice to get it back. This bug will be added as a feature in the next patch.

coder1024 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 what do you use for the collective? I find using a HOTAS stick works much better since it has the separate throttle which you can use as a collective.

Krunkskimo Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 what do you use for the collective? I find using a HOTAS stick works much better since it has the separate throttle which you can use as a collective. right now im just useing the one on the stick. i went to circut city here cause i knew they sell joystick/throttle packages but they shut down so i had to go to best buy for the AV8R I use the AV8R as my collective see my recent thread here on that project. thats amazing i bet the time and effort will be well worth it. The mouse thing is actually a bug that happens to be useful too. Press ESC twice to get it back. This bug will be added as a feature in the next patch. Nate wow i cant wait then that would free up my number pad. I'm still learning as i go but to me it seems the current binds are not very localized or egronomic. im trying to get all relavent binds in positions so that im not stumbing around the keyboard to push. im pretty content on unbinding all the start up keys and just using the mouse cause theres quite alot that goes into it. might not be the cocpit like hitches but itll do =D
HitchHikingFlatlander Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 It only matters if you enjoy your set up and enjoy your simming. I like to make believe like a kid so having a mini pit makes for a more enjoyable experience for me! http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad
