Help with controllers
« on: July 08, 2014, 11:03:22 AM »
Ok, so I dont have a joystick, so I use my wired Xbox controller to play this and other games on my computer. I recently bought Il 2  Sturmovik 1946, and can't get the controller to work with the game. Any body have any ideas? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Free ideas? Can't think of any, but then again I have absolutely no experience in Xboxes or their controllers.

A reasonably priced idea: T.Flight Hotas X by Thrustmaster: http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/tflight-hotas-x For about $50 it will give you the idea of two hand flying and if you are gentle with it, it'll last long enough for the price. I've had mine for several years now, but I don't fly much.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out! In the control options it has a specific setup for HOTAS, so I'll have to get one.
