>that weirdo at the LAN party who played Quake with a flight stick
Which one of you was it?

>>8244591
Wasn't me. That's not an efficient way to play Quake but I have recently tried it with a two stick "HOSAS" setup, and it was a trip

>>8244591
>When's the last time you used a flight stick?
I used one for NES emu a while back (Microsoft sidewinder). It was kinda fun playing Gradius and Star Soldier with that setup, but a bit wonky. Maybe Atari would be fun with it? Had trouble with configuring so I had to use joy2key shite setup.
>>8244668
Pretty cash my man. I am intrigued

MS combat flight simuator

ive been using pic related to play MS Flight Sim 2020, works great

>>8244591
Other than places there was no alternative, such as a sim or arcade machine, it'd be so long ago I can't remember. So long ago I probably made pew pew noises when pulling the trigger.
>rudder twist functionality.
Fucking disgusting.

>>8246516
>another axis is disgusting
... why? Literally why? Have you used it ever, or lately? 1:1 torso twist in Mechwarrior and being able to control roll and rudder with one hand in flight sims and Descent is awesome.

>>8246581
>strawmanning is disgusting
Indeed. I'll never understand why zoom zooms think the best reaction to someone disagreeing with them is to think "if this guy was as dumb as me what do i imagine he would say" and then project their stupidity.
Removing an axis from pedals and putting it on a stick isn't adding another axis. It's just moving it. Moving it to a stupid location. A location so stupid in fact, that no actual airplane has ever used it for its rudder control. Admitting you use it for flight simulators loses you any credibility you might have had.

The pedals are a nice luxury, but it's still a nice feature that you don't have to use, and feels intuitive to me. I actually use to roll in Descent-type games. You can still use pedals in combination with joysticks with this feature.
>zoomZOOMZOOMz00m EVERYTHING I HATE AND DISAGREE WITH IS ZOOM
I don't know why I stay here. I'm so tired of it. I'm convinced it's falseflagging zoomers anyway. I'm in my late 30s. Just fuck off. I guess I'm so desperate to talk about this shit with anyone that I put up with you repetitive autists.

>>8244591
back on our families first computer, we had a joystick for comanche 4 and a bunch of other nova logic military games. was fun at the time.

>>8248057
If you like the feature than use it. If you like hookers to shit on your chest then do that. But don't be shocked when people say it's disgusting.
Zoom isn't a number, it's a state of mind. You could be 100 years old but if you have the mental age or maturity of a 12yo you're no different than any other zoomer.

>>8249380
You are severely autistic and a faggot.

>>8245821
Had one of those old "force feedback" and it was pretty great. Unfortunely I had to throw it away because the stick's rubber got all sticky and I couldn't clean it.

>>8249380
So "zoom" is a meaningless term used by brainless oomerposters, gotcha.

>>8244591
Had a Sidewinder just like that. Played a lot of Carmageddon with it.

i want one =(

>>8250567
Yes, everyone who doesn't use the same cheap toys you do for flight sims is an autistic faggot.

>>8250734
It's a very meaningful word used by all sorts of people to describe and trigger silly children. Whether those children are physically underage or legally mentally unfit to stand trial as an adult.

>>8251584
I dunno brah. Liking controllers with pedals ITT is likely to get you called an autistic fagot. Also, do you even twist, bro?
But seriously, it's a great controller. I really like it when a game has the option to use a special controller designed specifically for that game. I understand not everyone can afford dozens of large controllers or even has room for them, but it's nice to at least have the option.

>>8251584
I seriously considered buying one of these and I'm so glad I didn't because my original Xbox absolutely died a week later

>>8244591
Few months ago for FS2020

>>8244591
I've got a version of this for dos and emulators. It has keyboard passthrough to do joystick -> keypress mapping.
Great for older sims that map everything to the keyboard

>>8252337
You are proving my point you obsessed nigger. You are clearly very autistic and a faggot.

>>8254364
>You are making me seethe
Good. Let the butthurt flow through you. Maybe next time you'll think twice before flipping your shit just because someone doesn't like to use the same shitty controller as you.

>>8246581
Twist sticks are twist sticks because they're meant to be all in one bargain bin sticks for beginners and casuals. My first stick was a Saitek evo, but guess what, it was just a place holder until I bought better hardware and a full separate stick + throttle + pedal setup

>>8244667
Quake? No.
But I played Duke Nukem 3D and Dark Forces with a Flight Stick. For old shooters with autoaim, it ain't half bad.

>>8247082
>It's not an extra axis when you can just use a whole different device instead

You are a massive fucking retard.

>Hurr durr, why would I want five mouse buttons when I have plenty on my keyboard

Using kb+joysticks for FPS was extremely common before kb+mouse being the norm and it was basically how all the "pros" did it; except joystick was used for movement.

You know how in those old FPS you run faster by doing strafe+forward? I know for a fact that in DN3D you get that speed boost all the time using a joystick, which definitely gives you an advantage. Might be true in other games also, probably all Build games at least.

>Ewwwww a controller I don't like! Cheap toy shit! I'm gonna make a big deal out of this
>What, you're disagreeing with me? Imagine seething over something like that, lol!

I still have my old wingman, but I haven't used it since the last time I played Mechwarrior 4, at least five years.

>>8244591
last month I think, played X-Wing Alliance with >>8256453 this joystick

>>8244591
>When's the last time you used a flight stick?
96/97. And it was probably that specific stick.

>>8254884
Im not seething at all. I'm just telling you your an autistic faggot. I've never even used a twist stick. KEK

i've heard wiping it with alcohol fixes that.

>>8251584

Last time I played Space Harrier.

>>8256453

I had one of those bad boys. Loved using it for Mech Warrior 2, of all things.

>>8260870

Also had a Gravis Eliminator as well...
