Instructions
Step 1
The analog aircraft type joystick is very popular. It is very difficult to connect and calibrate it correctly. You can also find a variety of rudders and digital multi-button controllers in stores, but they are not very convenient for controlling the aircraft in the game. There are also programmable digital joysticks. They attract with their versatility, but they are more expensive.
Step 2
Of the analog joysticks, special attention should be paid to the Genius Flight2000 F-22 from KYE Systems Corp, which has almost all the capabilities. Its grip is very similar to that used in Lockheed Martin's newest American F-22 fighter. The player can experience the same sensations as a fighter pilot.
Step 3
With your right hand, you need to operate the handle, which also has a firing button in the form of a trigger, as well as three additional buttons. In the game, they can perform different functions. With the help of additional buttons, most often they switch weapons and sort out targets. In almost any game, you can change the button assignment at your discretion. Next to the buttons on the handle, there is a four-position switch for the direction of view. It can be used to direct the pilot's gaze forward, right, left and back. It is unlikely that you will be able to look around with the keyboard during the battle.
Step 4
To connect such an analog joystick, you do not need to install various drivers. A prerequisite is the presence of a game port. It is usually found on sound cards. If it is not there, then look on the I / O port boards that were used in 486 and older computers.
Step 5
Turn off your computer. This must be done when connecting any cables. Find the game port on the back of the system unit. It is a connector with 15 pins arranged in two rows. It is slightly larger than a serial port for a mouse. In this socket you need to insert the cable from the joystick, and then turn on the computer. The connection is complete.
