Is the Logitech WingMan Attack Joystick-- ok for Battlefield 1942????

Here's the link Wingman

This is probably the only game I play online. I'm having a hard time playing with the keyboard and mouse, so I want to get a joystick.


Let me know what you think?

Thanks!

I use a similar one to yours but I use it for just flying. For tanks, etc. I still use the keyboard/mouse. As far as the joystick goes for flying it does quite well for me.

And I use Logitech® Extreme 3D Pro.

I would say you would be better off with one of these two, the twist handle is great for rudder control and for helicopter control in desert combat.

Actually, I just bought the Saitek ST90. ST90. It seems to be ok, I have no control over the the Heli in BF1942. Does anyone know how I can configure the controls?

From what I can tell it doesn't have the rudder control, what I would do in BF1942 Options is make the rudder A and D, and the throttle being W.

I use the keyboard for throttle myself, made controling the helicopter much easier and be able to hover and land.

Best tip is to practice offline a lot with the helicopter so you won't be one of those fools who always crash the helicopter.

I have this same one, but it's crapped out on me. The rudder is all messed up. Can anyone recommend a higher quality joystick?
