Great Hint -> how to use joystick effectively

[zeimer]

Dear all,

Thanks for a nice mod, was waiting for it for ages.
When it came out, I immediately had a problem - sight limitation in the plane was only challenged with a mouse, not a joystick, even if there is a view around small stick on my logitech.

So, I dlled the joy2mouse application and now i can fly with my joy and view around with the view arround buttons. superb gameplay now and joystick is again in business!

Thanks.

I got so much used to keyboard while flying that now I can't imagine doing different... mouse only for look around.

Thank you!!!

I posted the very question whether this was possible in the help/support section and got no replies. This should be put in the wiki and/or stickied.

I am downloading it right now.

I tried it out and it works great! I just disabled everything but the viewstick and bound that to the mouse directionality. Its too bad you still have to hold down shift to change views though since that means you also can't change your flight direction while looking around.

Incidentally, I can't seem to find this in the instruction manual or wiki - where are the bombsites and rearview keys?

Thanks a lot for this. Flying just became enjoyable for me.

So what did you actually doed?
Cause i've been strugling with this issue since release also.

So did you deleted joy2mouse application? You said you "dlled" witch isnt a word.
And were is this application located, and how this whole thing is done?

I also got logitech joystick with hat on, so it would be great to have it working ingame.

I think he meant that he downloaded joy2mouse and using it to configure his joystick settings beyond the ones available in BF2 ingame.

Um, i've always had trouble using joysticks for flying. the mouse is simpler to use since the keys are relatively easy to get used to

I am assuming the program is called Joystick to Mouse and is it free for download?

[zeimer]

yes, the application is called joy2mouse and is free for downloads. Nephros just did it and many others. indeed shame that you need to press another button to view arround but that is still better than having to operate with no looks around or with joy and mouse together
