This sim is going to do one of two things to you. Between here and M4T you will have all the resources you need to become proficient in this sim and get the most out of it. It has no equal and will henceforth be referred to as M4T throughout this guide. I must say that is the single absolute best overall TOTAL RESOURCE for this sim as far as guides, missions,skins,downloads etc. Also take a look at Guide to Joystick Settings as far as actually programming your stick.īefore we begin. Whatever stick you choose or wherever you choose to get it, make sure that it has some kind of rudder control on it or that you consider getting rudder pedals, which both Saitek and CH produce, or some kind of twist rudder on the stick. The least expensive entry level HOTAS is the Saitek X-52 which can be had for as low as $98 on Amazon.
setup along with the Thrustmaster Warthog. The Saitek X-52, X-52 PRO, Logitech G940 or the CH Fighter Stick and Throttle are examples of a H.O.T.A.S. setup ( Hands On Throttle And Stick) which in my opinion is much more versatile and immersive. Look to spend anywhere from $25 - $600 depending on the stick and where you get it from. Logitech and Thrustmaster also make a line of joysticks from low to high end. I have no clue as to how good it is because my trusty MS FFB2 is still working. Unfortunately Microsoft no longer makes the FFB2 but they can be found on Ebay and Go also had a limited quantity. Rugged as all get out, good solenoids, and a good Force Feed Back (FFB) joystick, even if you do not use the features like gunshake, which I personally find a little hokey, or hit effects, just for the control forces alone, does things that no mechanical spring can do as far as transmitting a better feel for what is going on with your virtual ship. For what it is worth the Microsoft Force Feedback 2 is the best single joystick ever made in my opinion. I recommend that you shop around to find the best bang for the buck since usually you pay more at the manufacturer's site, but those are the main options when it comes to joysticks. Both brands can also be purchased from other sites at a reasonable prices as well as the manufacturer's sites. I personally recommend either SAITEK or CH Products. While it is possible to fly this sim with a keyboard and mouse, to get the most out of it a joystick is HI GHLY recommended. Bear in mind that this sim is over a decade old. While this guide can be used with any 1C IL2 product version it is written with IL2 1946 in mind. This thread will be edited and upfdated shortly
