Reversals and an eight view hat.
« on: April 28, 2004, 09:37:57 PM »
I've been working on reversals since 1958 and could never get it together. Old flight system was a four way hat where I had to use buttons for the back left and right views.  Button to switch sticks to the up view.. Lost the con on the pass through 90% of the time..

New setup has an eight view hat. Button for the second stick set and that's sixteen..

With a month of rust, flying a new unfamilier stick I could track my targets on the reverse EASILY through the pass..

If it wasn't for the rust it would have been guns..

And AMAZING difference in tracking ability.

It's ALL about the fight..

i have a old CH set (gameport) and for my views i use two 4way hats and another bottun for looking direct up.

it is great. i can look anywhere any time real fast, and its really comfortable after you get use to it.
as i understand it nopoop you use CH allso so here is my set:

use 1 hat on the joystick and program it to forward backward left and right

use a thomb hat on the throttle and put only left and right. and lastly assign a key in the front of the throttle for a up view.


you now have acces to all the necesseries views and its simple and easy.

note you can add a "down" view to the throttle hat, i myself rarely use this view and dont have it programmed on my stick.
