Title: Living with an x45
Post by: bockko on January 04, 2003, 10:16:34 PM

so like I am trying an x45 on win2k, the drivers worked 1st install. Flew a few missions and woulda done real good except for key confusion with new layout. Two questions:

- Where are you guys putting your x45 setup? I am thinking of getting a small, narrow table and mounting the thing very securely.

- Any recommendations for how to scale the rudder? And how to use it effectively? I am converting from a twisty stick.

Thanks, bockk

I just use mine on either side of my keyboard, with the mouse moved off out of the way.

The rocker rudder control(especially the one on the x45, which seems well placed if you're a mutant of some kind) takes a lot of getting used to, but IMO is more precise than the twist.
