Dedicated Hotas/joystick for il2.

Majo · #1 02-25-2011, 09:42 AM

I've seen several videos (3rd person) of people flying il2 CoD with different joysticks / hotas, none of them seem specially fit for a prop simulator.
I am not arguing the quality of the peripherals; I am talking about the possibility of a device specifically designed for a specific type of aircraft.
It might be too much to request for something like the AC-10 and the Thrustmaster Warthog, but maybe there is a possibility.
Does anyone know if any hotas maker has been in contact with 1C about a specific peripheral design?
Would it be too much to request something without acid green & neon blue lights and no starfighter throttle control?
I know the answer could be CH, but they have been with me during the last five years (previously another five years with the sidewinder) and
I just feel like looking for something new, if it exists...

Salutes.

Buy a TM16000M and elongate it. You'll have a control rod with HALL sensor.

Buy some throttle quadrant of a good company and you'll have similar controls of Prop Pitch, Flaps, etc.

Simple.

I think you are searching for something like this:

They are also busy developing a spade grip for the spitfire.

I think you'll be looking at user created stick projects, like the KG13 one:
