Setting up Joystick (HELP!) (Found Something)

Setting up Joystick (HELP!) (Found Something)

Postby vanPaalen » Thu 12 Jan, 2012 8:52 pm

hello there dear 11 clan! :D

EDIT: I have found something since posting! especially the "load campaign mode" is very helpful http://www.overclock.net/t/1151826/i-fixed-bf3-joystick-issues-heres-how

i've been playing 82 hours now and i can get the chopper to fly around the map and get some kills using my keyboard.
But i still felt like overshooting the target a lot because of "all or nothing keyboard controls". so i bought a second hand joystick, just to see if I was right about what i thought.

I bought the joystick mainly for flying jets because i thought it's impossible to hit something with only the nose-mounted MG and keyboard.

So i got it in the mailbox today, but it turns out EA and/or DICE don't want you to use a joystick.
apparently it's almost impossible to set the top buttons because you shake the whole think and it says axis bla bla used instead of buttonX. oh and i can't get the turning axis set to what is it...uuh jaw?...anyway I mean the rudders for horizontal movement. at last but not least:the hardest one seems to be the throttle, I can't use the handle thingy?

ps: i'm using logitech force3dpro and windows says everything works including sideway turning/rudder, and I can't get profiler running on win 7 64 bit...well it runs but i can't open any screen of it....

Do some of you use a joystick and if yes how did you set it up??

So it seems that bug is still not crushed?

Haven't checked it yet, but I will wire up my Logitech 3D extreme to check. :)

Easiest way is to use XBox 360 controller (plug and play).I tried to use logitech 3d pro,but it has too many problems.Sometimes it works and sometimes not,never can't trust it.

You get used to it. As you can see in my stats I already have over 20h flying time in the jet and 5 or 6 Service stars.

Actually I am thinking about making a Youtube video just for the clan to explain you my tips and tricks ;)
