Bob Canteen Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 IMHO the best way to play UC/BCM is using the mouse. I have X45, but only for flight sims like Falcon 4, not UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severian Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I use the x52 stick myself. I love it. The only thing I haven't been able to get to work exactly is the accelerate/decelerate of the ship using the throttle - it will not work like a normal throttle right off the bat. You have to hit 9(at least initially to engage the thrusters) then use W to get to full speed, then you can use the throttle to slow down/speed up. What I can do is send you the profile that I am using to save space here. Drop me an email: [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzle Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I have an X45 but since the drivers are so fubar'd I never use it. Though I do think it adds more t the experience to have two handles to grasp with all those buttons. In spite of that it's mouse control all the way, much more precise and since 99% of the other games I play (minus FS2004) are mouse based it's an easier way to go.

typhon Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I have an x45 works fine for me although I am about to stop using it in UC as a lot of people here think mouse is the way for this game to be controled so I thought I would give it ago. I have to say though I never had any hassle with the X45 the throttle dose reqire you to press 9 as in a post here on this thread and then what happens is the throttle controls how much % of the 9 you get , so dont be serprised if you start out and find the throttle does not work when you push it forward as 100 percent of nothing is still nothing , its all in the manual but I did miss this at first.
