Joystick Setup

[imported_t3h_d0n]

Hey guys. I just bought a joystick, it's a Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick.

I was wondering if any one with the same joystick could tell me a good set up to use.

Thanks.

Re: Joystick Setup

logitech joystick? *cringe* I don't have a logitech joystick, thank god. One thing I will say make sure you keep the receipt.

by setup are you referring to button configuration? that will differ from person to person, I have an x52 (loads of buttons) I have a button for everything from bombs to and eject button for BF2.

What's wrong with a Logitech Joystick? Don't be so arrogant.

I don't have much room on my desk so I couldn't go for anything too big. Also, i'm not prepared to pay that much for the x52. It's seems quite pricey.

The one I have looks promising though.

Logitech have a tendency to break after a while that's all.

Re: Joystick Setup

Because many (almost all) Logitech joysticks have a faulty potentiometer which casues the joystick to lose calibration. And this makes it very hard to fly good.

Re: Joystick Setup

I've had several Logitech sticks and all but one worked great and lasted a very long time.

Re: Joystick Setup

I have the same as you t3d_d0n. I haven't figured to use the HAT switch yet for the Commo Rose but this is what I have done....

Button 1: Primary Fire
Button 2: Secordary Fire
HAT Switch: Views
Throttle: Throttle
Buttons around HAT: Map, Spawn Board, Score Board, Push to Talk to Squad
Buttons next to Throttle: Flares, Afterburners, Toggle between Bombs and Missiles, Push to Talk to Commander/Squads, Enter/Exit.

If anyone knows how to use the HAt for the Commo Rose, speak up

Hope it helps :)

Re: Joystick Setup

I got a logitech joystick WINGMAN FORCE 3D force feedback...

I did the button config but it didnt seem to work well...I dont know why though..but its still working on other games just perfectly.

Re: Joystick Setup

Did you use a seperate program for the button config. BF2 is easyer to just configure it in-game (options).

Re: Joystick Setup

I did configure through BF2 as well...didnt work properly I donno where I went wrong....

the installation he setup is all perfect...

Re: Joystick Setup

I've found that configuring within BF2 works better than using Logitech's program.

Re: Joystick Setup

I find it really hard to use in a helicopter, is that just me or do other people find it hard too?

Re: Joystick Setup

No, it's easy. Well, it is for me :p

Basically, map everything you'll need. Use the Twist for your Yawing (Rudder), when you want to turn sharply, decrease your speed then turn, then increase and you're off again

I use all CH controllers and, as you say, it is easier and tempting to program in-game. However, I always try to leave game file alone and just program my controller map. That way, I can save (and backup) the small map file very easily. Saves a lot of time when you have to re-install game for whatever reason. Just reload your map file and you're done.

Plus, when time for a new game (assuming similar games), such as when migrating from BF1942 to BF2, the old controller map file worked perfectly.
