Title: Rudders and my joystick.
Post by: FDisk on June 29, 2000, 12:33:00 PM

Ok, Here's a noodle scratcher. Does AH support joystick twisting? and if it does how do I set my Interact Cyclone 3D "twisting" to my rudders?

If I understand you correctly you would set them just like any other set of rudder pedals.

To set rudder pedals we just go to the setup area and hit the joystick. Look it over and make sure your twist axis's are set to be rudder inputs.

It may sound a bit confusing, but it should make sense when you see it.

I have a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro and the handle is automatically twisting as my rudders.

So yes, it definately supports it.

I can't seem to test if twisting works in Windows. Maybe i'm just looking in the wrong place.

Aint there a check box labled 'has rudder pedals' or something? - check that check box and then calibrate or set it up to have an extra axis. One axis for
- Y axis
- X axis
- Throttle
- rudders
so four axis if ya have throttle on the stick. or 3 axis if ya dont.
Or check the has rudders checkbox.

Yup, I guess I don't have it (support) I'll go call up the company or just return the joystick.
