One question if the joystick is 3 axis does that mean it cant go left to right. It looks weird but I hope I am not making a mistake with this one.

Usually 3 axes means yaw, roll, and pitch (Left and right, up and down, twisty stick for rudder)  or at least I think thats what it means.

For the CH Fighterstick the 3rd axis is a throttle axis that is located on the base and to the left of the stick.  Granted you can set this up for anything but it will initially be looked at by games as the throttle.

You will also have a lower roller that will adjust your roll axis and another on the right that will adjust your pitch axis.  Basically allows for fine tuning.  I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  One thing to note is if you used spring loaded devices such as the X45 it may drive you nuts at first.  How the stick is setup you can move only in the roll and in the pitch if you'd like to.  When you start going anything but lef/right and up/down it may feel weird.  Over time though you won't even notice it.  At first it will be highly noticeable though.

Well, if you have the cash,

Hold off on that throttle... CH has a new multi engine throttle coming out soon, you might want that instead..

I run a full CH rig, I'm kinda like a poster child... And I am waiting on this new multi throttle.

I'm F16 Fighterstick 568
Pro USB Pedals,

I also have a CH Flightsim Yoke that I don't use with AH.

I used to have an old game-port pro-throttle and loved it... If you can't get the multi engine, then the Pro is an excellent device.

Welcome to the CH fold my brotha.

Post by: dracon on September 05, 2004, 07:54:46 PM
Wrong!  I am using the full setup!

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!  If your asking your parents that means you're YOUNG!!  It also means you may be small!  Nothing wrong with that but the Fighter Stick is HUGE!!  I am 55 years young, if that matters, but only stand 5'8" tall.  I had to modify my fighter stick so I could use the Hat!

Here's what I did: (http://myweb.cableone.net/decon14/images/Stick_1.jpg)

That is a piece of Hot Water pipe insulation held on with double-backed sticky tape.

Read this! http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=250&hl=

That article recommends the FLIGHTstick for small hands.

Regardless, there is tons of help for the noob CH user there.  Frank "Sticky" Church, Micheal, and revvin to name 3.

Good luck!  I have had many many sticks.  This is the best.  Yes, the springs are a bit light but I like it.  They can easily be modded for stiffer control.

Regards,

Dracon, who is your maid?

I mean, damn, My desk hasn't been that clean since the day I assembled it.. If I posted a pic of my control rig you would think I was running Anheuser Busch controls.

Anyhow, Nice Altec Lansing speakers, I have the same ones... I guess us CH kids know how to build a gaming machine.

I don't have a problem with Dracon's flight deck.

Looks...neat. Good choice in flight controls with the refinements I had to do also.

I like neat too...and Dracon's got me by a couple of years.

The trick is that if you like your flight deck neat, you throw in a few wittle nazi's and guns and stuff..

That way when the "messy" people cap on ya, you let the wittle guys lock n' load and take their best shot.

..as Jet has shown below.

..it's getting wierd now..I gotta go to bed.

Not to be too squeaky, I mix my neat with Nazi's.

it will be.  just a far warning.  completely forget everything you knew about twist.  imo rudder pedals feel much more natural and are much easier and much more functional.  i don't know that might just be me.  i had an injury to my hand a while ago where i servered a nerve.  i will never gain full motion back in it and i just fell terribly wierd using twist.  after 2 days i said i can't use twist anymore it feels to funny.  also it might lay in the fact that im left handed.
