I have the Saitek x55, it's great for all kind of flying in Arma, both helicopters and jets. Although the throttle works better for jets. Only con is that it's really annoying to configure (Arma doesn't like dual throttle). Edit: I fly better with mouse and keyboard in a helicopter. But I fly better in a jet with hotas. If you want to improve you flying, buy trackir 5. If you want more immersion and fun, buy hotas and trackir 5 (and maybe some rudder pedals).

No I don't have it at the moment. But I read some time ago that Arma used to handle only a certain amount of controllers (using rudders and hotas was a pain in the ass). Maybe they haven't fixed that good enough yet. Trackir will arrive though in two days;)

Edit: I just tried it. I placed my throttle at 50% and unlocked them. I tried to map the throttle up to collective raise using only left throttle. Arma 3 recognized this as Saitek Pro Stick X+, and collective lower as Saitek Pro Stick X-. (I also tried this seperate with only right throttle, this game Saitek Pro Stick Y+ and Y-. I don't have the feeling that it interferes with my stick anymore, but when I go over the 50% with my throttle it goes to full. And when I go lower then 50% it goes to zero. (Advanced flight model, so I can see how open my throttle is). How did you fix this? ---------- Post added at 10:54 ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 ---------- Fixed, I guess that through my frustration I wasn't thinking clear. Thx Wanderer, your way does fix the problem. I was placing the Y- and Y+ at the collective raise and lower, not at the analogue. I changed it to analogue and it works now;) Thx for the help!

Hello, How did you get the throttle to work in the first place? I just got the x55 and the stick seems to work, but I can't get the throttle to work. Although it does show in the controllers, it doesnt work. How can I map my throttle to increase thrust and such? I really don't know and can't find anything about it.
