Periphreal device compatability.

Recommended Posts

I know some of the questions I ask have been covered in part elsewhere, but I wanted to create a thread to cover them all and make sure that the latest details are in one place.

I've been strongly considering picking up some extra gear to make flying in ArmA more fun -- a HOTAS setup, a pair of pedals, and the TrackIR system. It looks like people have setups like these working, more or less, with some small problems like responsiveness issues.

So, to those of you with pretty extensive setups, how would you rate their operation in ArmA? What quirks and bugs have you encountered, and on what equipment? Have you found a reliable workaround? Do the configuration options allow you to have a pretty solid setup, or are there glaring faults that you see?

Lastly, have you had any problems with buttons? I ask this last one because I've got a 5-button mouse, but ArmA only detects three of the buttons. I can imagine the same thing happening on a joystick.

I'm looking at dropping $300+ for this, so I figured I'd play it safe and check with the community first.

I use a Cougar HOTAS with Thrustmaster rudders and it works superbly. (In helos anyway - I haven't flown any fixed-wings yet.) I have been able to map functions to HOTAS buttons with no problems, so I can cycle through and select command options without having to let go of the stick and use the mouse wheel.
