Joystick for aircraft

[imported_Chael]

Hi there.

I have an attack 3 and I am quite satisfied with it. I will admit though that after a couple years it doesn't wanna stay callibrated anymore, but otherwise it does everything I need. As for the freelook cam, I don't use it stratigically, but if I feel like looking around I just grab the mouse real quick. I would reccomend that you set most or all of the keys you need to the joystick so you are free to use your left hand for throttle and stabilizing the base for improved feel.

Good luck on the 'field.

That's why they call them joysticks.

right now i use the wasd keys for rudder and throttle and the joystick for the turning,climbing and diving. This key config i found to be the easiest for me since the throttle and rudder controls on the attack 3 just doesnt feel good, but looking around is hard.

Is there a way to set keys to look to front, rear, left and rigth, when on cockpit?
Mouse-look button is no good, because when you are pushing it, you have no control of the plane/Heli.

I'd use the hat buttons to do that - most joysticks should have at minimum 1 hat switch.
