Recommendations on rudders?
if i really do get into this, come christmas I could buy much better hardware. I want to make sure I'll use it first. plus i have another system I could potentially run the game on, so maybe when i do upgrade controller hardware, the gf could use the stuff i buy now.
I have the CH ProPedals and they're solid. I only use the toe-brakes though. I used to use the slide-axis for lateral strafe when I had a hand throttle. The only thing I didn't like about the slide axis was the detents towards the end of travel.
The
CH Products Pro pedals seem popular and reliable - their Control Manager software is supposed to be incredible, but I believe all devices in use have to be from CH (which may be restrictive).
Yeah, the software is really good and easy to use....way better than the Thrustmaster software I got for the T16000.
I don't really take advantage of it for anything advanced - I just use it to calibrate my Flightstick and pedals.
I calibrate the pedals so that they hit 100% a little bit before being fully depressed. That way I don't have to press the toe brake into the floor to make sure I'm at full speed.
For those of you with dual sticks, how do you have stuff bound? I am considering going dual T16000M but I'm not sure about the keybind setup or stuff like throttle control.
As far as important controls:
Primary Stick:
Y Axis: Pitch
X Axis: Yaw
Trigger: Boost
Trigger (double tap): Afterburner
Side button: lock / fire missiles
Strafe Stick:
Y Axis: vertical strafe
X Axis: lateral strafe
Twist: roll
Trigger: fire (I find that firing the weapons on my off-hand stick is more accurate for me)
Hat: free-look
Middle button: decoupled
Left button: cycles friendlies
Right button: cycles enemies
Pedals:
Right toe: forward strafe
Left toe: reverse strafe
That's kind of it in a nutshell for the important stuff. I'll try to find some diagrams to do a visual instead of just writing it out.
Other stuff on the primary stick hats:
Hat: SCM / PCM / SuperCruise
Hat: GSafe / COMSTAB / LAM
Hat: Cycle Countermeasures
Hat: Look Behind / Enter QD
Pinky trigger: QD Menu
Top button: Launch Countermeasures
There's more but I'll get to work on the diagrams.
