Any doctor attending the forum ?
 

Playing to much BoP has made my thumbs hurt.
They are stiff, has lack of rotation and hurts constantly.
I guess its what one may call "PS3-PAD-Disease" or PPD.

So doctor, what do I do, and please do not tell me to lay of BoP.........

Use the flight stick you bought a while back? :D

I use the TM Hotas only at Simulator mode.
I miss the brake function at CTA and I kinda do prefer the pad at arcade and realistic modes which has been whats been going on lately.

The patch fixed some flight stick issues, including the brakes. I fly with the TM Hotas, and the brake function is there if you pull full back on the stick below rotation speed.

Brakes work with the flight stick as long as you use the default setup.

stop playing so much BoP and go too the remarkably complicated world of the OUTSIDE. Complete with tree's, construction sites around every corner, sunshine and 100% pre poluted air, just for convineience.

Na i'm just kidding ya, it seemed like a good joke... which it porbably wasn't... i need to get more sleep.

500ccs of rest and relaxation that doesn't involve being irradiated by a television...STAT!

I see what u mean there KAV... My right thumb is still a bit stiff, but it's getting slowly more functional after I started using the TM Hotas back in december 2009. My left thumb has recovered 100 %...

Never mind the breaks!

I adopted the dk pad 'dusting' scale and adapted it for my fingers! For the morning after I have 3 levels- thumbs creaking= heavy dogfighting session leaving little or no cartilage left; thumbs aching= good session, didn't kill as much as I wanted too; thumbs fine= went bombing instead!

thumbs broken= your best match ever

That's the problem - you should use the joystick in arcade and realistic, and the ps3 controller in sim. Don't have to move the sticks as far in sim - not if you want to be able to see, that is.
