Flightsticks or steering wheels?

[BridgetFisher]

Love simulator games, but never head of a boat one until i saw this one. For flying games I have a flightstick, and driving games I use wheels. What does a boat game use if any?

[Fox]

Wheel would be better.

[UkeIain <3]

you can use both but you have to bind the keys yourself. I use a joystick and I find it alot better than a wheel.

[McGherkin]

Wheel. And if you have throttle quadrants for your flight sims they make reasonably good throttle levers for SS ;)

[BridgetFisher]

for binding is that done in the game or witha thrid party app?

[McGherkin]

In game.

who makes those? are they 1080p and what kind of fps do they get?

[McGherkin]

By console he means a controller, with buttons and throttle levers, and a rudder stick.
