wika_woo 182 Posted October 8, 2017 Hey everyone , i was thiking of getting one of these, they seem reasonable for the price.. but are they actually any good for Arma & Other SIMS?.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H6KXGDY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=341Z5039OJEBA&coliid=I95ZCEZENQ0G9&psc=1 Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bamse 223 Posted October 11, 2017 Indeed. It's a very very reasonably priced intro-HOTAS. The joystick is a simple cosmetics upgrade from legendary T.16000M joystick that in it's own right as the most affordable starter stick of all times basically and I had one for several years before upgrading to first TM Warthog and then to the newly released Virpil T-50. The tracking is really good on the T.16k and the center detent is a matter of taste in combination on what you are flying as usual. I wouldn't go down the DCS route with the joystick tho and that's due to the simple fact that there's just too few buttons on the actual stick. A lot of buttons on the base is just not good enough in you're in a tight furrball :) I haven't tried the throttle myself but a friend of mine has had it for ~6 months or so and he haven't said anything bad about it yet. He's not the most passionate guy when it comes to joysticks but usually you'd hear if its was shit :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wika_woo 182 Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks Bamse, I may pick one up in December as it's my birthday around December. Perhaps it would be more fun for arma usage for cruising around in jets & helos, also dog fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LesG 1 Posted October 15, 2017 I think you dont need both (T16000 Stick and TWCS) for Arma3. The T16000 Stick only has enough controller / knobs for ArmA. Arma hasnt so much controllersettings for the Jets. My Youtube FlightSim Channel is in german language (maybe it is useless for you) but there you will find more Information about Sticks/Controller and configuration of the hardware in Flight Sim Games. https://www.youtube.com/user/lessing999 Arma3 ingame controller list: i use all the controller for other flightsim Games. All of them are working very well in Arma3 and the headtracking system in Arma3 has the smoothes movement of all of my flightsim games! (Rise of Flight, IL2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad/Moscow/Kuban, DCS World, etc.) But you dont need so many controller for ArmA3! Before you spend 50-70 Euro for the TWCS you better try to get a second hand headtracking system (i payed 40 Euros for my second hand headtrackingsystem (clip and moddified PS3 cam) and i use the opentrack freeware) A headtracking system is one of the most important things for flightsim games. For example (the clip without camera): https://www.trackhat.org/single-post/2017/02/07/The-new-TrackHat-clip-head-tracker complete system with clip and camera: https://www.trackhat.org/product-page/trackhat-clip-head-tracking-kit You see, it isnt so expansive but you will love it from the first time you start flying with headtracker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
