joystick in Arma 3

Recommended Posts

 

This concerns using joystick in Arma 3 - notably two Thrustmaster 16000M FCS combined using TARGET. Just wondered if anyone has had any joy setting them up in Arma 3. I have tried googling it with no success so keen to hear if anyone else has had any luck setting them up.

 

Cheers all.

I set mine up manually (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro). The thrust (if you have a handle) is a bit hard to control (because instead of setting thrust you increase or decrease it), so I'd recommend using buttons for that.

I have a microsoft joystik with thrust slider. When configuring it you have to use the analog thrust configuration and move the slider all the way up and down.

You will see +1 -1 in the setting. After that the thrust slider works just fine!

I did that, but if you get in a heli without the joystick, it will be impossible to control thrust.

I do when I have tie to prepare. However, sometimes (usually) it happens that I have to get in and act quick.

I am keen to use a second joystick for the purpose of POV rather than the POV control on the same joystick I am using to manouvre the aircraft/helo - is this possible. I am struggling to make it work

Should be possible if you mannually set it in the controls.
