Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 combatibility

[hanthefarmer2]

will my joystick work?

[Patpat]

Probably, it works with SW force feedback here...

[Wolfsun]

Yeah it'lll work. BUT if you want to get the most out of DCS (I bought it direct from them why no icon showing I own it) you really need to invest in a good HOTAS rig. I use an X-56 setup. Works great. Programmable, with all the buttons and switches you'll need for just about any flight sim.

Considering their content, I can't say I am surprised. You should try out some other DCS Youtubers.

it works very well
i have one too (not even in usb, the one with the adapter) they are very solid, indestructible
plug it directly
go to the device manager (driver recognized immediately)
initialize and calibrate
in DCS modification of the controls it appears
go to flight control
the X and Y must appear pitch roll
the Z is the rudder pedal
no problem with this joystick (the easiest to install)
the thrustmaster 16000 are not as reliable
i do not use the force feedback

[Myosotis1973]

Yes M. Sidewinder precision 2 is the kind of yoke that I want to exchange with my X56 and Warthog throttle.

[DOMINIK DES]

to fly the p51 for example it can do it very well
for a helicopter I have the thrustmaster collection

I got it working, sadly i can only fly the SU-25T and the P51 because i'm not paying $3K for all the DLCs

DCS isn't really built around buying all the content. The idea is to pick the stuff that you are interested in and focus on that. It isn't some kind of "gotta catch them all" thing.

fair but it's like $70 for one plane and that's just crazy in my opinion

For what you get I think it's pretty good.

if you download the non steam version they do 2 week module trials , atleast that way you can better judge the value to you , personally the work that goes into the modules is worth it to me but your mileage may vary.

also they usually do quite a few sales each year.

Also there are some community mods. A-4E is the most polular one.

lots of free mods you can fly from complex ones like the A4E to "simple" craft like the OH6a or OV10A Bronco.
