Title: Joystick question
Post by: Sturm on April 26, 2001, 12:17:00 PM: How is the Wingman Force feedback joystick? And the same joystick but without the Force Feedback. I am currently using a Microhard Precision Pro and it has been an excellent stick. I am looking at getting a new Joy this weekend, and ordering some pedals any tips on what is the best joystick/rudder combo is appreciated.

Post by: airspro on April 27, 2001, 02:41:00 PM: np , it comes with time . Best way that I learned to shoot with rudders was to :

Push the rudder to were I wanted the gunsight to hit on bandit , THEN pull the stick back till I had the correct lead . Rudder first then stick . With more practice it becomes more automatic , well I am getting closer , hehe (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

BUT anyone has a better way , please speak up . Also AG I have throttle and stick rests for my forarms on my desk . One is book wraped in a towel , the other I use my gel mouse pad . Think of it like you would a padded shooting jacket and sling at the gun range .

cheers

PS: Oh ya , step on the ball (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) AG your in for a treat , this really will make the game one hole lot more fun . Just be damned sure and do the Saitke install like Ron Hunt tells you to on this site ,
www.saitekhelp.com (http://www.saitekhelp.com) I do all his steps but deleting the gameport driver , as it was a squeak to get back on my pc . This setup rocks but you have to install it the right way for good results .
