Special manouvers with a Flight stick

[rufuzmitchell]

Hi,

I've got a Thrustmaster HOTAS X and i was wondering how to execute those special moves with it. Is it the same way as a regular pad,but translated to the appropriate buttons on the stick?

I can't even make a simple loop when i want to climb and try to get behind the bogey that's chasing me. (or isn't that possible at all?)

I sometimes do barrel rolls,but it feels more luck than wisdom and i can forget about immelmans..i've only managed to do it once in the game. I also try to do scissor rolls,but i never seem to end up where i want. (e.g behind the bandit that's having me for lunch!!)

Are there any specific conditions for these moves? (like plane speed,level etc etc). I'd really like to outmanouver my enemies,but it's kinda hard.

any tips? (especially from those who also fly with a stick)

Thanks in advance.
