Controlling a chopper with the Xbox 360 pad

[brasscakes 10]

Is it possible to make it so the right analog stick is used to look around (replicating when you hold alt and move the mouse) ?

I can't seem to figure out how to configure it within the controls.

Anyone able to help ?

I wouldn't reccomend trying to play Arma with an Xbox controller. The controls are just to complex to fully support any kind of control pad. I use Track IR to look around in Arma, but I think some of the shortcuts are actually hardcoded and can't be changed thrue the configure menu.

You can rebind the Xbox controller in the controls menu. I wouldn't use analogue controls on the xbox controller however for flying as it wasn't very good when I tried it in TOH or IL2

I've used an xbox controller to fly helicopters for a while. worked pretty good. I'd strongly suggest you download Xpadder, makes configuration much easier.

Sounds like a great idea.

Heli controls can easily fit on an Xbox controller. Question is if you can get the analogue sticks working?

It is possible! It's the only way I fly choppers and, honestly, I do a pretty good job opposed to flying them with mouse + keyboard.

Head to Controls/View:

Set Aim Up, Aim Down, and all that to the right analog stick. I use the "Back" (Select) button on the controller to toggle free look.
