What Controllers are People Using?

[fabius]

Thanks DaveP. Will head over there after I have a burn with Arma2 tonight. T

Using mouse/keys for everything but flying - flying joustick, either Saitek evo or logitec freedom 2.4

Dorph, what's the flying part like? I'm guessing it's not true sim standard, but I've always fancied getting a setup close to having a cyclic and colective. I had actual 'go's' on Gazelle, the old Scout, and Lynx.

For me, I have a Razer Nostromo to my left, keyboard in the middle and Rat5 to my right.. if only I could find the right button’s.....

For me only way to fly is with a joystick - controllers is ok but only for sofa-playing.
Flying are simple, but nice when u get used to it.

Yeah, I really want to get to grips with the helo controls. Slick piolot would be one of my favourite rolls.

Did some clicking around the forum and link last night and saw the TRS5? head motion device. Looks good but at £130 that will have to wait. Made me wonder whether any techy's have got the Xbox connect to work it.

I still have a old PS2 controller around, anyone tried such a beast?

Got my USB adaptor for teh 360 controller on the way from Amazon.

Presuming we can map different keys to the various buttons. What have others mapped for quick use?

I've got the trigger sorted
Guess I'll want these handy;
Prone, crouch, stand,
Walk
scope sights and zoom
reload
interaction.

I use it like a lefty.
Left trigger for fire, left stick for wasd, left shoulder to raise/lower a weapon, D pad up/down for scroll menu and left right for accept or backspace the menu.
Back for map and start for GPS.
I use my mouse also for superior aim and the mouse buttons are now for crouch or prone, fwd/back buttons are for sprint and ads.
I have used this setup for many years and never felt handicapped by it at all, in fact the left stick for movement allows more control over just using a keyboard.
Plus other uses on the mouse (depending on how many buttons you have) like reload, zoom in/out, sight zeroing up/down, weapon switch etc.
I have the yellow Y button assigned to getting in or out of vehicles, old GTA habits die hard.

Sorry to revive an old thread but seemed like a good place to ask a question.

Arma 3 Alpha and Razor Nostromo lay out.

Its a dilemma trying to configure this game and RN I have been looking for an answer to this for a few days now but no real joy.

If you are using a RN what is your layout, I think the ones I need to apply the most are the movement and stances ones.

Comment on the Alpha, I haven`t bought a video game in years but some guys I know on our forums suggested this game, I have to say I am pleased, Arma 3 could be a major title for many gamers who play other games, less tactical so to speak.

Too many buttons though

Any help here would be appreciated.
