Joystick or Controller?

[mackster]

So just started to hook up my warthog to fs22 and the steering is less flaky with the joystick i noticed, like a lot.

Wonder if there is a setting out for my xbox controller or is it just not a good way to drive anymore, joystick preferred?

Yeah, i'm trying to get my saitek x52 joystick to work ... no success thus far ... like WFT !?!?!?

i tried to use my Logitech 3D extreme but the controls are just fckd up... camera rises automatically mapping is non sense, can't do a propper mapping of controlers... But I would love to use my joystick to operate front loaders, that would be amazing.

What about mouse?
I have discovered mouse steering for me. Hell, its better then using a wheel. Extremely accurate, no any mechanical resistance, no any wear off, no any dead zones. No deadzones alone is worth it!

But im also playing it in VR so i don't need the mouse for looking around. Will also work with trackIR i guess.

PS: before someone asks how... Using freeware tools vJoy to emulate joystick and virtual controller to feed it with mouse.

I use a G27 wheel and it works Great.

Farming Sim games are one of those games where there's no such thing as too many controller options. I have my wheel+pedals+shifter w/ eaton fuller+joysticks+controller+M/KB+TrackIR+Simpanel Buttonboxes and swap between them all depending on what I'm doing/using.

It does take time to map everything to your liking, I am not there yet. It is def an improvement tho using the stick rather than the controller. Note tho that sometimes, if you have all running at once, it can cause odd things to happen.

Work in progress I guess. Can always use joystick gremlin to get everything tied in to one virtual joystick - just have to also use hidhide to hide your sticks from the PC when running, otherwise games may not take gremlin as the first input.

I use my T1600 with keyboard and head tracking. Wiped every binding from the joystick and added things i needed manually.

I move using the keyboard controls...only need my mouse on foot as the head tracker takes over in vehicle first person. Then all my tool movement for everything is on the joystick, joystick hat switches are amazing for lowering and folding tools and such.

im playing with a G-27 wheel plus shifter. almar MAN truck shift knob, and an X-55 Rhino joystick.

all works fine, been doing frontloader work with the stick for hours now. i have not tried to plug in the throttle quadrant but suspect it will work fine too.

if you actually assign them to stuff under controls. and mess around with the deadzone a bit through the main menu options. i find that the default 14% deadzone for the stick works fine, i put my wheel and pedals all the way to 0 deadzone though.

I have a MROS109 Pro Gaming keyboard, and a mouse. It works great!

Im playing with a Virpil setup (stick and throttle) and it works just fine. Only problem is the 50 button limit per device (directx limit).
