the joystick matters more, but I'd been using 1280x1024 or even 1024x768 for a while when I used to damage or kill tanks way out of sight range.

i too used to be able to do this, but the center spring on the Saitek X45 sucks... i cant have smooth movements anymore :(

maybe i should make them little dials on the throttle part for GV / Bombsite aiming... would that be possible?!?!

Not really sure. I figure as long as it can be successfully mapped its possible. Would be neat if it could.

more evidence that that js is a [SIZE=40]POS[/SIZE]

You could map the dials to be pitch and roll, I think AH accepts multiple axes, but not the inverse, multiple functions.

Hope you like re-calibrating cause you will be doing plenty of that with the EVO. I know I have one and several players I know do also. Other than that it's a good stick, Just wish they had continued with the Saitek Cyborg 3d Gold, now that was a good stick!

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive....  so, I took her to a gas station

I think it's fine the way it is. What do you think TopGunZ?????????????????????????????????

Seriously,practice makes  perfect here.  Also, learn to accept the game for what it is.  Everybody experiences these anomiles from time to time.  Work around them and choose your fights more wisely.

Wish we had the option to use keyboard keys for fine tuning tank gun aiming.   Would be most helpful.  A flight optimized stick is just too darn sensitive when you are zoomed in tight on the tank gun sight.
