Title: Support/Recommendation for (old) Flight Sticks?
Post by: Guigafumi on July 14, 2023, 10:15:51 PM
Hello,

I've been away from playing any games for a long time but may be getting back to the hobby soon. I've recently came across a flight stick and was wondering about their functionality with GP Bikes, if anyone has had success with them. I found a couple of example photos of what I was thinking about, online:

GPbikes accepts any controller you can see in windows so compatibility is probably not an issue.
The push/pull motion of the yoke would be interesting! But what would you use as throttle/clutch? Pedals?

My friend uses that exact Thrustmaster joystick to play GP and MXbikes, it works well.

For throttle/braking I figured it could be the lever. Other actions would be limited by the buttons available. It was just an idea, nice to know (thank you, teeds) that it can work.
