No joystick :(

[Fire_Monkey]

why not, or is that YPO

[Sputty]

They support joysticks. Also, BF1942 can work with joysticks aswell. There's alot of threads on this so look back a little

bah. im saying should i get one for planetside? id hate to fly like total crap b/c keyboard sucks for it.

[Sputty]

Hamma said the devs used keyboards when they flew so it's probbly fine. Everything is VTOL like so it won't be dogfighting, more like strafing and standing while firing.

[diluted]

VTOL?

[Sputty]

Vertical Take off or landing, Like the harrier or a helicoptor but the devs compared their planes to harriers

Where did you get this from :confused: there will indeed be joystick support in PS

[Sputty]

Maybe he means he doesn't have one or it could be from the same source of his "rumour"

if thier aircraft are like harriers are the engines swingable? to alow for vertical flight. as well as VTOL? I seen in one screenie where a mosquito had vapor lines or vortexs comming from the the rear ruddervators (Rudder/elevators for those who don't know) which would indicate more like vertical flight rather then VTOL flight :)

[Sputty]

:huh: Vertical flight?....Do you mean you think it's more like a plnae? The devs have stated it's like a harrier or helicoptor rather than planes if that's what you mean but you stated it oddly.

Think Tribes 2. I'll be using the mouse and kb unless they change their flight model to something more flightish.

//Vertical flight?....Do you mean you think it's more like a plnae?//

Yes I mean more like a plane as well more like a harrier I made a typo and put in vertical flight which would be like a vtol or helicopter any way :). I meant to say Horizontal Flight more like a fixed wing ac

but I'm thinking there set up like a hariier or a vtol AC where the engines ca be adjusted vertically for hover flight as well as vtol. Or the engines could be pitched 75-95 degrees for horizontal flight. not sure though but I did see the vortexs comming from a screen shot in the in the media section

^exactly. I was under the impression that the vehicles would have a tribes feel. A joystick was more trouble than it was worth in t2 IMO
