![]() With this setup, flying planes works well enough (pitch/yaw on one stick takes getting used to, but is certainly better than on separate sticks when in space). (Also assigned to rover wheel forward/backward, steering) Right stick: translate forward/back, rollĭ-pad: translate up/down, translate left/right. It gives you full control of all six control axes plus engines. I have a 3rd-party PS3 gamepad that's PC compatible which I quite like to use. FYI, I'm also very interested in Elite: Dangerous, though I don't own it yet. After the 360 controller I'm having some doubts, I found rocket launches very hard without the keyboard. ![]() I'm going to borrow my Dad's Logitech and make sure the flight stick is the way I want to go anyway. Disadvantage seems to be it is a little more expensive (only about $15 though), and probably takes more desktop space. Plus the nicer throttle and two handed approach. It has the preset button so 90% of my flight when I'm not docking I can use the hat for camera and still have the advantage of translation on the same hat when docking. Well, that would seem to be the biggest advantage of the Thrustmaster then. If you do want a high quality (not that the Logitech isn't) joystick for any reason, don't let me stop you. This one works fine, and I would rather upgrade my PC rather than buy a $120 peripheral. I just prefer to use the thumb stick for RCS translation (It is awesome!)Īlso, I don't see a reason to spend +$100 on a joystick. There are binding assignments in the KSP settings menu that would do that. You could (and very well can) map the 8 direction thumb stick to camera rotation and map 2 buttons to zoom. It is obnoxious to go back and forth between joystick and mouse for map and camera, but I got used to it. It might be time to re-evaluate the improved chase cam mod but I think the joystick will solve that issue. Especially crucial when attempting to land a plane. I also disliked the disjointed yaw control I ended up with on my 360 controller and the fact I had to take my hand off the controls to adjust the camera on the dpad. If the controller has presets, I can use the hat on the stick as both camera for flight, and translation with chase cam for docking. The idea of pressing a button to switch between rotation and translation just irritates me. I really hate the docking mode built into this game. It's currently the front-runner.Īfter trying with my XBOX 360 controller, I like the idea of the Presets button. Strangely some third party is attempting to sell a used one for $45 grand, gotta love amazon. Well, it's being sold by directly for $50 exactly (pre-tax of course) and I get free 2 day shipping from them. The easiest one to get is definitely the Logitech. I did find it at Staples, but haven't decided to buy it yet my MS Precision 2 is stll in good working order and I just bought a new laptop, so I can't justify buying a new game controller. Plenty if sub-sellers on Amazon and eBay, but you might pay way more than the $50. It's listed on Best Buy and the similar go-to places, but out of stock, and has been since about Christmas. The problem with the T-HOTAS X currently is FINDING one.
