What are you using to fly your ship in Star Citizen?
« on: March 29, 2014, 04:00:08 PM »
I was wondering what you guys are using to fly.  I know some plan on mouse/keyboard combo and some are gonna use a joystick and throttle.  Also,  check out this video to see what some of the CIG staff are using.  Don't forget dogfighting module is right around the corner WOOOHOOO!!!!!

I'm using this:

Also, I'll be creating my own dashboard with various push buttons, toggle switches, and other input things using this device. When plugged in, it appears as a USB game pad with a Crap ton of buttons I can attach.

I'm using the same sticks as Czar. I've found in Planetside that they are very nice and the hardest part of flying in that game has been the game having too high a responsiveness in the sticks. At least it was like that the last time I was flying around in that game.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.
