miohn 1 Posted November 30, 2011 Hi all, pretty new to TOH and I have problems to set up my "black widow" controller. I know its not the best controller, but should be o.k. for a non flightsim enthusiast like me. Does anyone have a "profil" for that controller? And how can I apply it? If theres is no profil available, which functions do you recommend to apply to the 8 available buttons? And how can I map correctly the cooliehat? (Btw. I unistalled the speedlink-drivers again, because the stick works good/better without that "fake force-feedback" with the win7-built-in drivers) And one more: in career-mode "mission 1 and 2" I'm totally unable to land the heli! The beast suddenly drifts sideways and I crash and I don't know: - is that part/difficulty of the mission? - is it the joystick which gets suddenly cracy? - or ( and thats what I fear) is it me? thanks MIke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DnA 5029 Posted November 30, 2011 Let's tackle one issue at a time, starting with your controller :) Can you try to map the Generic Joystick scheme to it? Options > Controllers > Customize > Schemes. This should map acceptable default axes and buttons, but you can also change those mappings however you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miohn 1 Posted November 30, 2011 Hi DnA, I maped different shemes and one of them seems to work right now. But I could not map the cooliehat f.e. properly when customizing the controller manually. Anyway! Its working now. But what (which functions) are best or recommended for mapping the other 8 buttons? Now to my next issue, please? Oh, and a third one: I have seen nice videos from people flying the beautifull "Chernarus" map. Which Arma-Version do I have to buy to get this scenery? regards Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hon0 10 Posted November 30, 2011 I down know your joystick so you may be need the trim set and the trim release option. Then gps. It's cool. And.. in case of autorotation Engine 1 & 2 to idle. Change weapon & fire. I THINK you can get the needed file to play chernarus in the free version. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14588 Have a sweet & dangerous flight !

DnA 5029 Posted December 1, 2011 Some other recommended actions to map to buttons are (but this is mostly personal preference): auto-hover, manual trim set / release, rope interaction and center view :) Landing and hovering are generally expected to be challenging. There are several things to look at to get you going: The lift off and landing training lessons. What difficulty level are you using? The first two have auto-trim enabled by default, which is a fair bit easier and more stable. Auto-hover makes landing and hovering quite easy (while auto-hover is enabled, so is auto-trim). Tuning your joystick axes sensitivity curves can make a huge difference. Some people prefer very high sensitivity, whereas others prefer to make large movements. Question #3: try to run a search on Chernarus in the TKOH forums ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
