Thanks!
Hmm, when you are at layout menu make sure to go all the way to the right till Custom (pc Joystick) is highlighted.
I made the mistake of going right to custom at the start and not Custom (pc joystick). Make sure your controller is turned off, before you start the game.

Now when you start the game the center fire button under the Safe shield is the x button and the one to the right of it is the back button.

Once you set it to custom (pc Joystick) in the layout settings then the front main trigger is the x button and the button under the safe shield is back button. Now you can have the ps3 controller on and use it to go through the button config list and then set you controls to what ever you want and save but when your done you have to exit the game. Turn off the ps3 controller and then start the game and use just the stick, If you don't do this it messes up the throttle control. and the throttle won't respond.

Got it ?

Thanks very much - that was a great help! - messing around I had the stick working partly but the throttle was stuck at WEP!

Cheers

Know you can help me !
LOL
I have ran into a problem, I unlocked Sim mode and in the sim training mission they change your zoom to a different button, well now my zoom will not set to any button on Sim mode. Any ideas ? I'm at a loss here. I have tried everything I can think of , I'm reseting the ps3 right now to see if that fixes it. I tried completly remapping the controls once. but I may try it yet again after restarting the ps3.

I know in the controller menu U can set the difficulty under the wireless controller layouts but there is no way to set it to Custom pc joystick, and sim mode like on the controller.


Let me know if your zoom works in sim mode.

I've got the TM Hotas and It's ok for Arcade and Realistic but because the Hat switch isn't analogue you can't look 'over your shoulder'.. at all. You can look left, right, up and down at your instruments.

Other than that it's survived all the abuse and can be seperated so you can have your throttle on your left and the stick part on your right or used as one unit.

Ive been trying you use it in conjunction with a mouse so I can look back but it means you have to let go of the throttle and this isn't ideal especially when you're trying to get someone off your six... (cue sound of metal being pierced..)

I still use it. And I'm getting better at using a mouse lefthanded.

I am the same, I have tried with the gamepad but I want to use the stick. It's just not the same without.

I'm seriously considering getting one of those very small tracker ball type mice and glueing it to the throttle...

Just remember when I hooked up the mouse I had to hold left click to be able to look around.
