Controlling a chopper with the Xbox 360 pad

Recommended Posts

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.
