Tested PC sticks on PS3

[dations9]

picked up the t flight hostas a couple days ago, been working beautifully on fsx on my pc. Yesterday I tried bop out with the flight stick, well holy SHIT is it hard to adjust to after always playing with the controller. Other than that no problems, quite a bit of mapping and setting changes but once you get it the way you like it the hostas is perfect for me.

Thrustmaster Joystick T-Flight Stick X : I am having problems with it

This joystick works on the PC and is supposed to be supported
in BoP(PS3) but I can't use it.
I have the PS3 Update 4.11, put my controller to positions 2 or 4,
switched to "PS3" on the flightstick and tried all options in the
game menu...


Does anyone have an idea what i might be doing wrong?

there should be 2 thrustmaster settings in your options. if not ....reinstall the patch. i had mine "get deleted" somehow after my son played a different game with the system.

Thanks so much bobbysocks, just to be sure: Which patch did you install?
Where did you download it?
Sorry to bother you with this but I tried a lot
before without any success...

Did you switch over to PS3 before you plugged it in? Can you use the Stick or hat to navigate the PS3's XMB?

Thanks StiC,
I switched it to PS3 before plugging it in but i cannot navigate the
XMB with the flightstick. Maybe i need a patch. I don't have any
patches installed because i cannot find the downloads...

[StiC]

Did you try turning off all other controllers?
I'm assuming you are already on PSN and are signed in when you start up BoP. You need to be to get the patch.
If you can't navigate the XMB then it sounds like a problem with the stick.

Once again thanks StiC,

this worked,
i think the T-Flight Stick X is a good joice for a WW2 sim!
Curving, throttle control and looking around is so much easier than with
the PS3 controller!
