A joystick suitable for Arma 2/Arma 3?

[tehforce111 10]

It seems I am able to post new threads (probably as a new user), but I have a question that's tangentially related to this topic:

I really don't like how quickly the F35 in the tutorial banks when using the keyboard (A, D). It rotates the craft ridiculously quickly. Is there a way to reduce/tune the sensitivity hidden somewhere in the game's files? It would be much appreciated. Thanks

Great Idea.

Probably overboard for the usual player, but I use a Thrustmaster Warthog.  I do fly more "real" sims.

 

Since using it in ArmA2, my control has grown by leaps and bounds.

 

I used a Saitek in the first ArmA, which worked fine.

 

Back in the OFP days, I always felt a "disconnect" using a stick, and it never felt natural.  Mouse and keyboard worked fine for me there.

For the advanced helicopter flightmodel you definitely need analog controls.

I use a Thrustmaster HOTAS-X which allows you to separate the joystick and throttle. This gives me the option to put the controls on my left and right.

The 'click' of the throttle is a bit annoying, but can be removed (voids warranty).

Along with the Hotas I use Saitek rudder-pedals.
