Newspeedy Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Like lots of you will know the Z boards for BF2 and WOW,... shouldn't it be nice to have a keyboard for DCS? would be much easyer to setup the game i think. like its fast expanding now with new planes, new addons like CA,...
cichlidfan Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I don't use my keyboard (except for maybe two or three keys) for P-51 or A-10. Realistically, I seriously doubt Z-board would see enough potential sales to cause them to want to produce such a thing. EDIT: Assuming they did, would you actually buy a new set of keytops for each aircraft, at $25 a set.

EDIT: Assuming they did, would you actually buy a new set of keytops for each aircraft, at $25 a set. well i did use the set of BF2 to play BF3, COD, Arma,... think if we could have one set for the A10c we could use them for the other aircrafts too,...
EtherealN Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I don't really see the utility. When I fly A-10C, I fly with a HOTAS. That is the appropriate controller for a simulator. Any time you spend on the keyboard is time you are not spending with your primary flight controls. Basically, even if one was available, I seriously doubt I would use it, simply because it would replace a peripheral I don't use while flying anyhow.

cichlidfan Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 and that hotas is only good for the A10c, you also need to configure it different to play the P51, or BS? Which is easily done and does not require an additional purchase. EDIT: This could be any HOTAS not necessarily a Warthog.
