Now, now! There was no dweebs, these guy were all good fun to fight.
Not one of them complained about being picked or ho'ed either..

<Salute> to all the enemy in that sortie. They all were great sports and laughed with me afterwards.


Its fun in there, if you can handle the pressure of a real furball and are having a lucky day.

:lol aiming for two targets at once and hitting the space in the middle, I was a little rabid to get some action that flight. I thought the kill on the high alt F4u4 near the end was pretty insane. Yet no one complained about lazers or anything.

The DA furball has some of the better sticks flying it and alot of good attitude, as far as I can tell. I think most of the uproar comes from people who forgot what a real furball is.

Actualy using a twisty stick, Stran. Microsoft Sidewinder 2. The strafe effect being caused by moving the rudder gently one way then the other to spray a difficult to see ground target with explosive shells.

How many buttons are on that one?  I have a maybe 11 and a hat switch on my 3D pro, interested in getting something better and want to have relativley the same amount of buttons to program.

8 buttons, 8-way hat, rotary throttle slider and thats it! Simple works best for me.

Buttons cover:

1 - fire all guns
2 - look back
3 - deploy flaps
4 - retract flaps
5 - toggle WEP
6 - toggle zoom
7 - toggle auto combat trim
8 - look up

down hat - trim elevator up

rest of hat - views

its great, i only need to use the keyboard for whine and anti-social conduct and to raise the landing gear.

How do you look "back" then?

(I use the same stick btw and use similar setup.  I have toggle secondary weapons mapped instead of auto combat trim and use the down hat to look BACK)

button two with the thumb to look back. this means to look back left i can use button 2 and left. I know it sounds crazy but it leaves me 3 extra hat possitions that dont need to be used for views. Also enables pressing look back + look forward right/left which can be programed to look over the side of the nose. May sound complicated but its really very simple to use.

That does sound crazy Bat  :huh  :D I use the front trigger on my ff2 to look up combined with the hat you can cover every view. 7 & 8 flaps up and down works nicely with thumb constantly on the throttle and 6 for zoom in and 5 for toggle auto trim. Gonna replace all the micro switchs and the hat switch although its only the hat thats bleeding slightly.

Dunno about the states but last time I checked on ebay uk good examples were going for £100 I bought mine second hand for about £60
