True didn't even think about the trigger. I don't even use my stick anymore. Maybe I will but I don't think it helps me fly any better.

I guess you will get machine gun fire with button barely pressed and both cannons and machine guns when pressed more?

I also just saw keyboard support. This is cool if they give us features in game to control more aspects of the plane with the keyboard, other than that I don't see why it would be a added feature.

That would make most sense. Used that on my PC joystick as well. Worked perfectly, you could use the machine guns to aim and the cannons to finish the job.

My guess would be that one of the many other buttons would be to choose.

Select between, MG/C/BOTH and the trigger will fire your selected choice


If they take a good look at the joystick then they will be able to sort something out im sure.


If the joystick didnt implement this then we would be at a huge advantage in the fact that we cant choose between on or the other or both. We would be using up all our ammo when in fact we could do the job with just "said" weapon.

We shouldnt lose out because we have joystick, after all we did pay £40 extra to get one.

I have faith in them though, they will sort it

I am curious to know if the keyboard support is for a wireless/wired keyboard or the keyboard for the controller and if it is for ps3 and xbox.

I'm guessing it's just for PS3. Sony is way cooler about third party hardware then MS is, and the Xbox keyboard can only be used in combination with the controller, so I'd rather just keep playing with my flight stick. Plus, I don't think the keyboard will have a huge effect. There's not a whole lot we need, and the things certain people 'need' (i.e. feathering) is quite a big feature to suddenly put in the game. I'm just curious what extra's the keyboard will bring.

Allthough it's a handy feature, I don't think it'll be a huge problem when it can't be applied to the stick. On limited ammo it's useful, but it won't make a huge difference one way or the other. And I think quite a lot of people play with the stick already.

I think i would be loosing out.....


i dont like to waste ammo, i like to get close (very close) to my target without him knowing im their, then open up. Im that close that im pretty much gauranteed to hit. So being able to choose between different weapons would help. In that situation i would just choose the cannons and save the MG's for when my cannons are dry.


So i would like the option of my joystick being able to select between dif loadouts

IF it wont happen then its no big deal, im quite happy with all guns firing as it is at the mo. My main concern is other issues gettig fixed such as the crashes and the P51

I'd never thought about the AV8R either....
Trigger for MG and one of the other buttons for cannon? (want to fire both you just hold em both obviously).
