![]() I resolved an issue where the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X's throttle (or Z Axis) was not recognised by BoS on the PC, and are posting this in case other T.Flight Hotas X users find it useful: There's two buttons on the stick: "Mapping" and "Preset", and sometimes one hits one of them when picking up the stick from wherever you "stored" it (Assuming you don't have your stick standing on the desk in front of you all the time?) * Check if you haven't involuntarily activated the preset-recording mode. values for both ends of the spectrum on one specific axis (left/right, up/down, forward/back). It only reacts after you've given it max. deflection" and then "Now please press Rocker to the left until max. * Assigning the rocker: Follow Crash_Gordon's advice, and rock full left then full right - the game doesn't talk you through the procedure, like some others, you will not get messages like "Please press Rocker to the right until max. ![]() the Bf 109 was notorius for pilots having to stand on the rudder - it was mentioned in a RAF test-report of a captured Bf 109 that British pilots should make their breaking turns to the right (?) side, because the test-pilot was speculating that by the time the Luftwaffe pilots were close to Dover, their right leg would be weary. * "Plane pulls to the right" - Yup, it's supposed to do that. It just boils down to your desk space, given a Gamepad can be held in your hands while a joystick has to stand on your desk.I also have the T-Flight X HOTAS and I use the rocker for rudder. But the price tag is in the same ball park as a VKB Gladiator NXT Evo, which is a single joystick with almost anything you wish for in a single flight stick. Strongly recommended for Aerofly, if you don't want or can't the more realistic hardware. I have aileron and elevator trim on these paddles and its great! There are a lot of other options, too.Īpart from that, the controller has a premium touch and feel to it, changable sticks and you can even adjust the sensitivity/strength of the stick (within limits). By default, they double the four buttons on top, but with a 3rd party software called reWASD, you can map any keyboard key to them. It's not cheap, but one of the main advantages is four additional paddles at the bottom of the controller. If you are on the desktop platform, I would suggest considering a Microsoft Xbox Wireless Elite Series 2. My only concern is buying another game controller (Razer, TM, TB, MS) and having it not supported by FS4. I just found having all those peripherals took up space and were just in my way and frankly I don't like using rudder pedals. I had flight controls for MSFS too but sold them off as well. I just thought using a game controller too for FS4 would be a good idea because I love the way they feel in my hands, and I like the accuracy of the thumb sticks. I could get a TCA sidestick again (sold the first one off in a complete Thrustmaster flight package). As a YouTube video points out the potentiometers are loose in their perspective cradles (the little ball portion) and there is some jerk in the stick feel because of this. I won't argue with a joystick suggestion, but I find the Logitech can be a bit jerky. ![]() I think it helps when switching from aeroplanes to helicopters especially when the throttle levers operate in opposite senses. I also change hands for the helicopters, it is better for muscle memory and flying from the right seat, the cyclic should be in the right hand. The levers have reversed calibration in the Aerofly helicopter settings so that forwards and down lowers the control input, the opposite of the movement for aeroplanes. The left throttle lever operates as the collective and twisting the throttle pair adjusts the position of the right throttle lever for engine throttle. My ancient Saitek AV8R joystick is nice for helicopters, it has dual throttles on the rear face moving in a largely vertical arc and they are quite good at mimicking a collective with a twist throttle. I like something that more resembles the action of the real equipment. I got a game controller many years ago but never really used it.
