SIM Unplayable on T.Master?

FilthyPrick · #1 08-24-2009, 04:14 PM

Does anyone else find the restricted views provided bt the hat-stick makes meaningful play in SIM impossible. This does seem to instantly limit all those with the stick from playing on the MP SIM servers as they are effectively 60% blind - esp at the 6 o'clock!! This could have a big impact on the way current Squads and Clans are able to play and organise.

Charlie Flight is in trouble I completely agree! Solutions?

This is a wild shot, and highly unlikely to work but... has anyone tried a mouse with the game? I'd say it's almost certainly NOT going to work! lol But I'll give it a go later.
I played pretty good with a mouse on Pacific Fighters - Josytick in the right hand, left hand on the mouse!

The more I read about this hat switch problem, the more tempted I am to buy the Saitek... sigh. I really love the layout of the TM Hotas, but I haven't been able to try it myself yet. From the sound of things, I will be disappointed.

Yes this does stink! I asked about this hat switch like 3 times in 3 different threads. No answers until right after I ordered my stick! ha ha ha....

I guess for now I'll just deal with it. But for me I really like the HOTAS setup better than the single stick.

it is pretty annoying. Isn't this something that could be fixed with a patch?

Yes,

Especially as I bought the stick as recommended by Anton himself and I am sure many, many others have done the same!!

well, then more than likely this is at the top of their to-do list. shouldnt be much of a problem for long.

Doesn't the hat switch functionality apply to the stick, not the game? I wouldn't think this is something that could be fixed by Anton and company, but I could be wrong.

Depends on whether the hatstick is an analogue stick or not. Don't know what the Thrustmaster has.
