joystick in SC

[BlackHawk*K]

i got my MS precision pro 2 working in SC.

i didnt really play with it long but this is what i found.

the throttle is still a bit flaky. full is of course full, but all the way back seems to go like 50%. i guess i could assign a key for space break but so far i havnt found a need for it yet.

i dont seem to have any problems binding keys so far.

the down side of joystick for me is that i really dont have any thruster controls. ( up, down, right, left.) i guess i could assign the top hat for that? also i cant seem to control the pivoted or rotating turrets.

the upside is the ship is very responsive to the joystick. i seem to get better relationship between how much i move the joy vs how much the ship moves then i do with the mouse. ( maybe because the mouse is controlling turrets as well?) i can do some really good maneuvers while using decouple and afterburners.

if anyone finds any other cool tips or tricks let me know.

there is not additional control for gimbaled weapons with joystick yet. it might be possible to assign some other mouse or mouse-like device to it. they are supposed to work on that. that is perhaps the biggest reason to stick with mouse for now.
