SIM Unplayable on T.Master?

It's an eight way switch.

It isn't analog... only 8 way (based on what I've read).

edit: too late.

Perhaps the devs could set up the controls so that moving the stick down left or down right would flick the view so you were looking back over your shoulder in the respective direction. There isn't really much else you can do without analogue input.

Someone just wrote in the aviator thread, that the saitek had no range of motion with the hat switch, so go figure. I guess i'll deal with it. Cause if the aviator had full range, i would have to get it.

Good to know, thank you. I'll stick to my guns with the TM. <-- that was terrible, I know.

Yea, the hotas setup would be more desirable i would think. I just have to construct some kind of chair now for it.

LOL! post pics of your contraption!

I just got the TM and I am loving it!

I setup a chair in front of my 56", set a little stool on my left and put the throttle there. Then I set up another stool in front of me for the stick. Now all I need are some flight goggles and a flight cap! ha ha

The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to issue the commands with the TM setup?

I am currently using TM setup #1.

Does anybody have any idea what the difference is? Or have a button layout for each configuration?

hi all - i have both joysticks ... errr kind of

i plugged in my pc av8r - hat switch worked beautifully, but i couldn't reprogram all the other toggles

thrustmaster hotas x stick - only limited views with the hat switch ... 8 way switch but only 4 directions activated - not very pleasant or useful ... and a big surprise as i too had ordered the stick on comments in the forum

i will likely buck up and buy the av8r stick for ps3 - as it is much nicer to scan the skies with! also wondering if it is somehow the thrustmaster stick that causes the interior views screen tearing, ??? as i get it huge !, but when using a ps3 controller don't experience it anywhere as much

a bit choked that such a brilliant game has a few nasty 'conditions' we might have to live with ... if the xbox set up plays seamlessly etc i may just have to make the switch!!

regards, Ron

I get the screen tearing using a gamepad or AV8R. I thought it was because I downloaded from the europe store so I deleted it and downloaded from the US store and still same effect, I hope it is not as noticeable in the final game.
