Is that the right one?? I cant get argos to work now, so if one of you have a link to the Right stick on argo's it would help me out alot, Thanks

yeah that's the one. I've bought this stick just today and it works a charm!
I'm new to these forums but i decided to join in on the fun...the demo of IL-2on ps3 also convinced me to buy a stick just for this game.

I've only played with the stick in arcade mode,but man,it is a huge difference in comparison to the regular pad.( just make sure to use cockpitview for immersion purposes)

Also..about the hat switch being 4 way..i dunno,but this afternoon i played the demo with the setup Thrustmaster T flight HOTAS X nr. 2 and i could have sworn i could look at approx. 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock..not on my six,but those two..yeah i'm pretty sure i did...

posted this in another joystick thread,but thought it wouldn't hurt to post it here to,so:

''Ok, i've tried the hatswitch and unfortunately i was wrong..It doesn't allow you to hold it at say 1 o'clock..my bad! Sorry for any misinformation.

Thing is: I don't actually have a problem with the hatswichts as is,since it slowly travels to the 3 and 9 positions,so if there's a bogey on 1 o'clock,you could easily spot him..

Does anyone know where the zoom function is on T master set up two? I've tried R3,and L2 and R2. I think i've read somewhere that R3 is the button for bombs in the full game? Is there a zoom function (i don't mean target cam) at all on this set up?

Also,is T master set up 1 designed for the stick without HOTAS or does it remap your buttons? English isn't my first language so sorry if it isn't too clear what i mean...''

Soon (perhaps, tomorrow), I'll make a special announcment on PS3 joysticks.
Stay tuned.

Hi Anton,

could you please tell me where the zoom function is on set up 2 for the Thrustmaster T flight HOTAS X? I'm playing arcade for now,and i remember the pad had a zoom function,but i can't locate it on the stick.( i don't mean target cam)

Or does your announcement tomorrow clear up all things?

Thanks anyway!

As far as I could tell there is no Zoom function with the TM2 setup.. I went through writing down the function for each button and they are all used up, since 4 are used for the flight commands.

I was wrong previously about the TM1 setup missing the flight commands though, until i found you could assign them by holding Triangle and using the hatswitch, maybe there is some bizzare way to do the zoom with TM2.

Looking forward to the 1c announcement about joysticks, since it seems to be the number 1 complaint from people playing the demo so far :)

Hey Pup,thanks! I suspected as much (no zoom ) it's hardly essential,but well, i wouldn't mind having it.

I really like my new T master HOTAS though..i had to get used to it a little,but now i don't even want to play with my regular pad anymore!

A bit of a shame about the deadzone/space on the stick as i frequently overshoot when targeting a bogey,but i'll work it out.

You got any good tactics for not overshooting your target? i try to strafe and compensate for it with some rudder,but that's not perfect either.

I'm curious too about the joystick announcement: my guess it'll be some news on bundles (stick + game) or something regarding more settings (maybe that hat switch thingy sorted out?) for sticks in a update/patch on psn.

Have you tried using the Thrustmaster 1 setup? That has everything you need mapped.. and since you have the T.Flight Hotas X, you can manually switch buttons using the joytsick if you feel the need.

Aye, deadzone is one of the annoyances I have found, it can be quite fiddly to make small adjustement.. I actually found the normal controller was better for this particular thing, even in realistic or sim mode. Yeh, the rudder is quite sensitive too, and if you press it too much it springs back making you spray your bullets all over the place anyways :D

I made a post here about my thoughts on using the T.Flight Hotas X with BoP.

Ok, I'll start the wild and completely baseless rumors now.

PS3 will support the logitech G940 with rudder pedals, force feedback, and everything else; PLUS head tracking with playstation eye!

Ok, I'm probably reaching a bit.

Continued, PS3 will support the old Saitek X45 HOTAS stick :-P (I can dream, can I?)
