Joystick Configuration

Post a pretty picture with some details about how your joystick is set up. What buttons do what and such. Lets see how those "aces" fly.

a simple $20 joystick that works damned well (im ranked 500th global in jets

) not a $95 JS like NavalLords, but i would take mine over his any day. :P

I had that same exact joystick up until a couple days ago. It was dieing and the right side was broken so I had to compensate by doing 50% left rudder and 50% left bank. It worked well but I wanted something with more precision, so I bought my new one and I love it. BTW it was $120.

It tells me the profile I'm using, what the button does that I'm pressing (you can hit another button that enables you to press buttons without them doing anything ingame so that you can see what the button does). Also what mode I'm in, you can have six different modes per profile, I guess its so you can have a seperate one for each plane or something. Lastly it has a clock on it with the date, up to three time zones can be used, and if you press the function button then you get a stop watch for whatever reason.
There are markings on the throttle to tell you what power you are at. Also it has indents for idle and Afterburners (0 and 100%, not used in BF2), and you can adjust the smoothness of it.

Its a Saitek X52.
