Title: Button config for MS Sidewinder Precision 2?
Post by: Tokata on April 15, 2002, 01:42:31 PM
I have an MS Sidewinder Precision 2 stick (is this good enough for the game?) and would like to see what would be a good configuration for it, it has 8 buttons total and an 8 directional hat, + twisting rudder + throttle. I'm not sure what would be a good config for the game. Thanks for the help..

I think a lot of people in AH have a Precision Pro (of one variety or another) and it works great.  Mine is very smooth and I haven't had a problem with stick spiking.  I have the following setup.

Hat: All set to different views, left front, left, left rear, rear, right rear, right, right front, and up front (the 45 deg up view).
Trigger: Primary Guns
3 Buttons on stick top: Zoom, Secondary Guns, Weapons Toggle (for changing between bombs/rockets/etc).
4 buttons on base: Up left, Up right, Up back and Straight Up.

I don't have the shift button mapped on the stick base.

I prefer having the view buttons all in one place on the stick and reach to a keyboard for other things.  I find the views need to be more accessable when in flight.

Hope this helps.

Title: throttle for AH on the cheap
Post by: airspro on April 15, 2002, 03:20:05 PM
This should work fine in AH for little money at all .

Has 10 buttons , plus a 8 way hat that surely could beused to at least 4 more buttons . Plus the throttle wheel .

Just think for 23 bucks you would have a whole bunch more buttons .

Do you know if it works with a MS Force PP?  I definitely need the buttons.

Should be fine for any game that can map muti controlers like
AH , you would use the pad for the throttle and buttons . But you would IMO not be using the bottom four buttons on the PP2 stick .
