ManDay 0 Posted June 29, 2007 I am curios what is the equipment you play ArmA with and... how are the devices arranged on your table (Joystick between Keyboard and Mouse or Mouse between the two others). For me: [x] Keyboard Joystick Mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EDcase 87 Posted June 29, 2007 I think this poll cannot give an accurate view of how people arrange the devices because there are too many variations. For example I use Saitek X52 so have throttle on left then keyboard then stick but I have mouse on separate lower desk shelf. It will be interesting to see how many people use TrackIR tho.

FWF.Osteo 0 Posted June 29, 2007 For me, its: Z-board, mouse, old M$ sidewinder joystick placed off to my right that I place in my lap when flying, and the TrackIR with TrackClip mounted on my Medusa Speedlink 5.1 headset. For those with the TrackClip, I got tired of the twin cords dangling from my left ear (my computer is off to my right so the cords kept getting stuck on my chair), you can get a cable wrap from Radio Shack (Cable Wrap) that works wonders.

smellyjelly 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Normally I just use my keyboard and mouse, but sometimes I enjoy turning the view distance up all the way and use my joystick to practice flying. Then I either push my mouse back and replace it with the joystick, or I pull out a thin, solid drawer type thing used to set plates/cups/sitting on, and set the joystick on that.

celery 8 Posted June 29, 2007 I have a keyboard, mouse and a joystick but I don't use the stick because it simply blows in ArmA. But that never stopped me from being king of the skies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killaalf 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Throttle Keyboard Joystick Mouse CH Pro Pedals When I fly i just put the throttle in front of the keyboard and the joystick in front of the mousepad, like so -> Keyboard Mouse Throttle Joystick CH Pro Pedals Takes all of 2 seconds and I'm good to go.

Col. Faulkner 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Mouse and keyboard. I also use a joystick if I ever feel perverse enough to try flying an aircraft in this non-flight- sim. Also, occasional use of my Track-IR (great for the flying wardrobes that pass for aircraft in the game - still not so convinced it's any good for playing as infantryman).

King-Six 0 Posted June 30, 2007 i used keyboard and mouse for vehicle and infantry movement and i use joystick for flying only. i usually have the joystick on the floor and ill just grab it while the engines are starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trapper 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Saitek P380 Dual Analog Pad for (helicopter) flights and keyboard + mouse for everything else. Unfortunately one of the small gamepad joysticks lacks precision after two months of playing now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ezekiel 0 Posted June 30, 2007 I can't be the only one using bog standard keyboard and mouse... Flying's pretty damn hard but you sort of get used to it after a while, I can prolly fly a chopper well enough now most ppl won't notice I'm not using a joystick.

jdski 0 Posted June 30, 2007 I use a Thrustmaster Cougar Hotas with Simped rudders. A TrackIR with ProClip. I'm a lefty so I have my mouse on the left side and the throttle sits in front of my mouse pad. Having the mouse on the left has been an advantage in flight sims as I can use the mouse and joystick at the same time comfortably. I'm not fully left handed as in a negitive of a right handed person. I still do most other things with my right hand like right handed people, so the joystick on the right is comfortable for me. I guess you could say I'm somewhere mixed up between right armed and left handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaSquade 0 Posted June 30, 2007 When i play, witch has been a while ago, i use the following setup: From left to right on desk Zboard FANG - keyboard (G15) - mouse (MX1000) When needed to fly etc: Place Saitek X52 trottle on same size mounted plate on deskchair (velcro straps) and take Saitek stick between leggs on chair. Saitek rudders 'on' the feets. Feels like a natural position and more or less RL setup. Offcourse TIR4 on the head. *Haven't used rudders yet as i couldn't get them to work wia alternative software hacks. Hopes one days it will be 'plug-and-play' instead disconnect, boot, launch, connect... . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romolus 0 Posted July 2, 2007 TIR4 Keyboard Mouse TM Cougar TM Cougar throttle joystick CH Pro pedals In OFP I also used a Ms SideWinder Racing Wheel and its pedals for driving vehicles (in addition to the Cougar), but unfortunately I can't use it anymore with ArmA due to its limitations with multiple controllers. I'm also using "Shoot" for voice commands. tothe guys using thrustmaster cougars and the ch rudder pedals....are the pedals usb or gameport for compatability issues...thanx for any reply The pedals are the old gameport ones. They plug directly into the Cougar and therefore are usable in ArmA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
