Title: can't get off the ground?WHY!!!!
Post by: REDBARON3 on March 12, 2001, 12:06:00 PM

I'm trying to play the game with a "PROPAD".
Everything was working allright,if you don't count plane pulling to the left on takeoff,plane rolling to the right in flight ,plane rolling to thr right when ever i try to shoot another plane,auto level not staying engaged,not even picking up enough speed to takeoff,when i give it more throttle it filps to the left while i'm still on the runway.when i try to calibrate,every thing goes opposite direction,i move left,the "+"GOES RIGHT,i move right"+"goes left,i go up it "+"goes down,etc,etc,etc.
I seem to be going to setup every 30 secs,tried everything imaginable,what's the problem?THANX

The best thing you can do, in my opinion, is go buy you a joystick. Gamepads just arent suited for this like a stick is. You can pick up a good logitech stick at office max for 30 odd bucks er so.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Good luck.

I don't use a logitech myself, I did a few years ago, seemed to be a pretty good stick then. Anyways, there are others that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on, that should work well.

Nacho,
You don't know what you are talking about. I have used Logitech and CH for a long time. They are both good.

Ah....well i've had some trouble with logitech stuff over the years....i prefer to go with M$ Precision Pro 2....very sturdy stick and is twisty.  might not be the best but it's around 40-50 dollars.

I'm figuring it's some kind of gamepad.  You know, the ones that look like Playstation controllers or whatever that folks use to play sports games and beat-em-ups.

Any cheap joystick would be a step up.  Heck, I think you would have better results flying with the mouse, give that a shot.
