just thought I would throw this profile in as no one has yet and it might help someone getting started.

The zoom is on the rotary 2 wheel and is programmed in the game options axis tune area,the helmut switch is H hat on the stick and it has a slight delay on it so that it doesn't get switched on or off by accident

Hi,

 

a lot of people say you shouldn't play a helicopter sim with the x65f, because of the force sensing.

how do you experience that?

It absolutely does not matter whether it's a helicopter or an aircraft. If you accept the extravagance of X65 it will be fine.

Yes I am curious as well about the user experiences.

I have the X-65F and use it with BlackShark. I have to admit, it did take a while to get used to.

With a traditional "moving" stick, you can get a real feeling of how far you are pushing the stick in any direction and can hold the stick in that position. With the X-65F you have to get used to maintaining a consistent levle of pressure as opposed to holding the stick in the same place. Doing this took a lot of practice on my part.

However, now that I've taught myself this difference, and practiced, practiced, practiced, I would not want to use another stick. It all becomes second nature now and without the physical movement of the stick I can "feel" how the aircraft is going to react without thinking baout how I'm moving the stick.

I hope this makes sense. Like I said it took a while to get really used to it (3 months?), but after I did, I would not want to switch back.

And with so many buttons and switches, I can map everything I need to and then some. I can also usually get pretty close to the set up of the real thing. Obviously nothing can beat the realism of the Thrustmaster Warthog for the A-10C, but then the accuracy ends there. If you use the Thrustmaster for BlackShark you're in the same boat as the X-65F with the BlackShark. The X-65F has plenty of versatility for upcoming sims and DCS supports it. :thumbup:
