Short Beta-Tester Question Concerning Piloting

[SpacemanSpiff]

To anyone that is presently beta-testing PS:

Is one able to switch to a joy/flightstick during the game? i.e. - switch to the Microsoft Sidewinder Flightstick as soon as you hop onto a Reaver or Mosquito.

If anyone can answer this, it would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that is wondering about this issue. :brow: Depending on a yes or no answer will determine whether or not I go out and buy a flightstick.

Betatesters can't answer questions like this, but the FAQ does claim joysticks will be supported.

Beta testers sign a Non Discolsure Agreement so they can't answer your questions.

However in the past it was stated that Joysticks would be supported. :)

That hasn't stopped them leaking out info before. Non-Disclosure agreement? Hah! What's that? :D

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up... this thread can now drift away... ever so slowly.

Goodbye, dear topic. :wave:

Ok, which beta testers? Heh, tell us so we can pass that info on to SOE guys.

I would wait until you play the game and see if you would even want to use a joystick instead of a mouse. It's been my experience that if it's designed to use a mouse, you're usually better off doing so from a control standpoint /shrug

There will be joystick support, although we aren't sure how it will all technically work.
