Hotas Warthog and controller use

[black1]

Hello, was curious as to who here uses a joystick controller to play such as a warthog and does it work well. I am used to the mouse and keyboard but was wondering if I should use my warthog for a different type of experience, the only problem I can forsee is popping head out of turret and then having to let go of controls to use the mouse and look around.

 

This brings me to a 2nd question, does this sim support track ir, this would be ideal for controller use I would Imagine. So curious as to who uses one and if it is in any way a better experience, not that the mouse and keyboard I am simply curious, thanks all.

I use a HOTAS, an X-56, and I have no issue with switch from one to the other.  I also use the joy stick to control the view of the TC when in a rush.

 

And yes, Track-IR is supported.

Great, is there any profiles for the Sim with the Warthog. Also I clicked the box for track ir support in the options menu, bu, could not get it to work.

I don't think that we have "true" TrackIR support, only "mouse mode"/simple view pan, possibly alternating between view heights positions. For 6DOF movement options you can't use models that have a lot of hidden surfaces culled like we do. We'd need to redevelop all 3D interiors. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Ok I see thank you.
