Title: mapping joystick
Post by: Blade69 on January 27, 2005, 09:15:12 PM

Ok now I know a lot of you out there dont like logitech but thats what I have so I'm hoping somebody out there can help me. I have a "Logitech extreme 3D pro" If anyone out there is using this stick can you please tell me what you have your buttons set for? I would like to use more of them but not realy sure what to set them for.

Thanks

Blade. I had that stick, and it was crap. Rudder very light, other controls extremely heavy.

Do what I did - return it to the shop and get a Saitek on exchange.

I would but have had this stick sitting around here for a while now and not sure where the receipt is. Plus in this town the only store we have is Wal-mart. It is over an hour drive to the nearest town that has any big stores or malls.

Have limited buttons on my stick but if you're interested this what I get out of it

Fire Both (trigger)  
Fire Secondary    
Gun Zoom Toggle
Squad Vox
Look Up
Hat Views

Pretty much everything else is redefined to the no. pad and surrounding keys.

Basically the stuff you need in a fight, whack it on the stick.

Here's how I used the buttons on the one I had for awhile (I dont remember what the #'s are, so you'll have to do with description by location lol).

Trigger fired just main guns.

Two buttons on right side of stick (one up one down) were flaps.  Two buttons on left side of stick (one up one down) were Fire Secondary (bottom button) and Toggle Secondary Weapons (top).  Buttons on base were Chk 6 and WEP.

I feel your pain not having a decent store to go to, but internet shopping is the way to go man.  You can find much better deals on stuff than in a box store, many of the chains even have online only items and prices.  Seriously, use that thing while you save some money and then kick it as hard and as far as you can.

I think what Blade might be looking for is the actual button mapping file to plug into the profiler software.
