Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

[[DK] Virgelation]

Haiya People!

I have just bought this joystick, but now i need to set it up, with axis etc.

I know that the most of you would just say i should make a search on forum, but i have not found what im really looking for!

Maybe a screenshot of you BF2 Controle setup to Aircraft and Helicopter?
Then i can setup my joystick the same!
i just need a correct setup so it all gonna work..

I have seen a website a while ago where there was a guide for my extreme 3d pro and BF2, but cant remember it more, eww!!

Hope that some1 gonna help me out here :)

Me to, its a great joystick for bf2, though initial configuration is mostly guess and check, especially for the axies, though that seems to be the thing with configuring any joystick for BF2...

Dont follow guides. Make your own setup!

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

Actually, here's my setup, just me going on instinct, from most important controls to least:closest buttons to farthest.

Trigger: Guess what? Primary fire!
Button 2 (the one on the side in the thumbrest): Secondary fire (bombs/rockets)
Button 3: Flares
Button 4: Switch weapons (default key F)
Button 5: Brings up full size map (default key is M)
Button 6: Haven't assigned anything yet.
Last but certainly not least Button 11 is the afterburner.

Hat controls (the rubber thing on the top)
Push up= cockpit view/F9 default
Push right=rear chase/F10 default
Push left=front chase/F11 default
Push down=Flyby/F12 default

You decide the finer controls, such as VoIP and other things that will help you.

Where are your afterburners, jumnitiger? You cant fly without em.

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

This is a co-incidince.. I got one yesterday.. I tried flying with it and downloaded the Wingman thingy.. It seems very, very hard to fly? Is it something that everyone has in the beginning with a first encounter with a "Joystick" or is it just me?

And what's your guys sensitivity's mine is extreme low since in the beginning I couldn't hit a damn thing with my MG.. ?

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

Trigger: Primary fire
Button 2: Switch between bombs and missles
Button 3: Macro. Fire secondary and change view to rear chase.
Button 4: Flares
Button 5: Nothing at the moment.
Button 6: Nothing at the moment.
Button 7: Afterburners
Button 8: Nothing at the moment.
Button 9: Nothing at the moment.
Button 10: Nothing at the moment.
Button 11: Cockpit
Button 12: Rear chase

POV up: secondary fire

I use the program provided by Logitech (In the start menu it labeled Launch Logitech Gaming Software; but once launched it calls itself Logitech Profiler) and created a macro that allows me to drop bombs and change views with a single button press.

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

This may seem obvious, but make sure you move the joystick the direction that you have selected on your set up screen. If you do not everything will be reversed. I did this when I bought my 3d Pro. I felt like a fool when I relised what I had done............

Then I use a thing called JoyToKey where I make button 4 = Q and the trigger = left click.

You can see why that would be useful :)


I got my controls after lots of trial and error.

Most people have their afterburner/secondary weapons switched around from mine.

I think the best button for the afterburners is the left thumb type of button (2) because I am constantly using it.


Basically:

Trigger = cannon
button 2 (thumb button) = afterburners
button 5 isn't being used because I use it to talk in ventrilo
button 3 = secondary weapon (bombs)
button 4 isn't being used because of JoyToKey... it IS being used, but only for my setup
button 6 = flares


on the little hat thing.

Up = cockpit view (F9)
Down = change firing mode
Left = 3rd person from the back (F10)
Right = look behind you (F11) I use this ALOT


thats pretty much it.

for the heli settings, button 2 = flares, and then the hat settings are the same, along with everything else.

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

I have the same joystick all I can suggest is go into an empty server and test it. Regardless of how we have ours set up you will change stuff for how you like it. It is a good joystick for the cost though.

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

I heard that these sticks lose their calibration easily. Is it true or was I misinformed?

Re: Logitech Extreme 3d pro - Help me out here!

Because my thumb rests on the hat, i have afterburner for Button 5. I have weapon switch as "Hat push right" and weapon use as 3. My thumb can perform quickswitches of weapons, launch them and keep the afterburner running at all times.

Button 2 is assigned as Q and trigger is left mouse via JoyToKey.

I heard that these sticks lose their calibration easily. Is it true or was I misinformed?

I have a buddy who has used his for more than 6 months, and hes going on fine. Then again I read a lot of reviews on the net and 90% of them were stating that problem.

I believe it has to do with the reason I fried my Logitech Attack 3. If you start up with Logitech as a new stick, you will use it wrong way. However, its just a theory.
