Imagine actually *buying* a HOTAS for a glorified PS2 game.

I guess those are the people that buy a car only to drive it down the driveway to the main gate.

lmao if someone legit bought a HOTAS setup JUST for THIS game, people, this isn't DCS, or IL-Sturnovik or X-Plane 11/Flight Sim X/P3D FS, this is an ARCADE PEW PEW OMG JETS PEW PEW game that was built around playing with a console controller, not a flight stick or hotas!

Legit first negative comment I read was some guy complaining he bought a HOTAS for this. I mean, I did try to hook up my T16000M+TWCS+T.Rudder for the kicks of it, but knew I'd end up with a X360 controller in my hand sooner or later anyway.

This is a gamepad game.Never ment to be more.

And I'm saying this as a Flight sim nut myself, look at my Library, I've got DCS, IL-2 Sturmovik with ALL of the BIG BATTLE expansions, X-Plane 11 with over 100$ spent on addons and I"M not complaining about this game not supporting every dingy 3rd party flight stick and hotas from the get go, you know why? because I used my brains for a moment, understood what this game IS AND ISN'T, knew that I'd be playing it only with my xbox 360 controller and not my flight sim setup because guess what? this game is NOT a true flight sim, this game is the CALL OF DUTY of FPS games, this ain't ARMA or Operation Flashpoint, it's the CoD of flight sims!

Odd, can you teach they rest of the people your age to think, instead of auto whine?

[Trixie_I]

I wish lmao, maybe then people wouldn't review this game to the ground because "WAH MAH HOTAS"

[Baker]

Yep I wouldnt buy one just for this game but I do have an x52 already.
I am using it in game already too. Though without analog rudder and thottle.
I hope they fix it as it looks like its a bug on all HOTAS for PC but I wont be giving a bad review
for what I have already. ITs fun and classic ace combat like in the good ol days.. It's no Assault horizon.

[White Gemini]

i like HOTASses but i can do without it

[liquidate]

Does no one remember Namco's Air Combat arcade unit? It um, had a HOTAS in it... So while you might have been first introduced to video games with your PS2, there were systems long before that...

Air Combat was on the PS1 without a HOTS, as was Ace Combat 2,
3,4,5, 0 were ps2.

seriously. dual stick controller thats it. done.

mfw guys are hyperventilating through their braces that their 250$ throttle/stick setup doesn't work lol.

[Ruggz]

lol thrustmaster quoted about theyre own hotas not about others, they do not own exclusive support for the game for hotas controllers. wait for them to fix the bug. they own the name for 2 hotas controllers that do support the game officially. but gran tourismo had official race wheels , but allowed other wheels to be used. as will be in this game im sure.
millions would be lost from pc market if that was the case with thrustmaster.
