walternowi Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Side stick for me. It is more comfortable. In real life, pilots flying a center stick has a harder time checking over his/her right shoulder than the left. That's why in WWII, pilots like to bounce unsuspected victims from the right and a little below.

RedTiger Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Your problem would be solved with these: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/rudder.htm Spread foot rests, almost as in real aircraft! LOL...I have those. Those are probably the only ones I could use. Those are fine, but it still gets uncomfortable after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'll upload a photo of my controllers layout for simming! You'll see it's very confortable for use! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 In real life, pilots flying a center stick has a harder time checking over his/her right shoulder than the left. Why? Seriously, I always thought if I was going to built a cockpit-like setup, I'd want center stick because of the old-school, cool factor. Anyway, authenticity aside, sim pilots won't have problem looking anywhere since the screen is in front of us. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) God no... my point was that a left handed person would have a hard time if the stick is positioned on the right. Can you imagine trying to land in crosswind with your hands crisscrossed? That is all. No that is not all :) Thread resurrection! A real pilot must pilot a/c well no matter if he's holding the control with either left or right hand - that's a requirement. I can do it with same results with both hands. Actually when I began my gaming life, I was holding joystick with left hand only. After I picked up HOTAS I was flying with right hand, and just recently tried the left hand again on diffrent stick. I didn't have trouble with precise flight. Just having trouble while trying to write nicely with my right hand, but that's all. Interesting read this thread was, I have searched for some opinions on different controls... now let this thread die.

opformaster Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 center stick for me... I fly mostly IL2 and now DCS so I havent come across any planes that used a side stick. Center stick feels a bit more stable to me as well.
