Joystick support for jets and Sounds terrible

Recommended Posts

Two things I'll start with just one gripe, the sounds for such as the minigun are absolutely terrible, all the helicopters and main guns on aircraft just don't remotely sound correct and I don't believe this is the best you guys can do.

Second, I have a Saitek x52 and the helicopter collective works pretty well with it , such as if I am set to 50% on my joystick throttle the same is on the helo;s Collective, though on the jet it appears that as I input into the throttle it seems like its full on or full off with very little in between. Is this a temporary glitch?

I guess that's not a glitch, the throttle is working this way for some joystick since Arma 2, I have an Hotas X and I have the same problem.

Also, I followed a tutorial on how to make the throttle incremental, like from 0 to 100, it works on the helicopter on Arma 2/3, not that good because I had to set a joystick button for the "break" because putting the throttle down will make the helicopter going down a little less than the button set on "throttle down" , but it works.

But that is not working for the plane, in the jet I have the same problem as you, I hope it will be fixed.

And yes, the minigun is really bad.

Sorry for my bad English.

Your English is just fine and I understood everything. Thank you for your input and glad to know it is not just me.

Thank you.

I guess that the throttle stuff is related on the car movement, so it's just forward/back, pretty disappointing, like the only one hit point on the plane.

I find it hard to believe that in all the years BIS has in making these games that they could not have integrated a more, say, realistic input for those thing such as aircraft. I understand the focus was on infantry but there are seriously browser based games out there with better flight simulation mods than this.

I believe the way throttle works with fixed wing aircraft is the bottom 50% is brake and the top 50% is throttle control, it's been like this since OFP and they actually removed it in ArmA which I made a thread about to eventually have it changed back. It would be nice if throttle was all 100% of the input with a key added for brakes instead.
