Hori vs Thrustmaster: Are they both crap?

[Gordikk]

So I am thinking about buying one of the supported flightsticks. I shouldn't have to but I really want to play this game.

Was going to go with the supposed better one Hori but I've seen some pretty bad reviews sighting massive input lag. Anyone has some experience with either of these?

xbox controller is probably better and maybe cheaper?

Just play with xbox game pad (360 or one) and enjoy the game. You have better control over your view with the right thumbstick anyway. I've played all the AC games with a pad.

Thrustmaster t flight hotas 4 is a budget flight stick, I have t flight hotas x (its predecessor) and while it did its job for the price it's nothing fancy.

Thrustmaster should be fine. Hori made the last flight stick for Ace Combat 6 and it was awful.

thrust master has released their target software

if you already have a TM product try this.

The HOTAS one is decent, I have no complains and use it on Xbox One X, but I'm not a flight stick super guru. I have no complains and it works flawlessly. If you want more buttons on the throttle you might dislike it. But the stick is decent, don't see why it would "suck".

each throttle and stick have two mounting holes to secure it. I did some custom job with a lap desk and it works great.

I have the hori from AC6, thats what I planning on using for this before Namco ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everyone. Glad to hear the thrustmaster is alright.

Right thumbstick is horrible for view control, I seldom used it on the PS2 games. Headtracking cameras are the best non-VR way of looking around (If AC7 even supported looking and flying at the same time). Besides that, I've found a left-hand stick and right-hand mouse to be my personal favorite control scheme in Project Wingman.

Better go with Thrustmaster, you may find a non branded T-flight HOTAS 4 or T-flight HOTAS One without the AC7 brand for cheaper. Hori is expensive and might not be as well supported outside of Japan.

Depends, a xbox 360 wired perhaps, but a Xbone controller costs about the same at least where I live.

Here's a real question: Can one build their own HOTAS out of the Xbox Adaptive Controller?

Hori is the worst of the 2

Get XIM APEX, it will do anything you want.
