picked this up for 5 ameribucks at a flea market. What are some games that are better with flight sticks?
Also Flight sim thread

does it even work? The sensors tend to build residue in those...
Download Mame and emulate.
>After Burner II
>Space Harrier
>Star Wars
Really, most flying games feel better with flight sticks.
Good find though, I'm jealous.
I'm planning on getting a Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 when I get my tax return, mainly for emulating arcade games.

computer recongnized and installed whatever native driver software it has. just trying to find some games I can test it on. probably gonna bite the bullet and re download war thunder
>>340691691
I've never tried any of those. My friend was going on about x-wing being really fucking great. how would I get the stick to work in MAME? Does it have support or am I going to have to go through stuff like X-padder or other third party software?
war thunder is free
start there

I'm considering it. I played back in 2012/2013 when it was near perfect. I stopped around 2014. Looking at the steam reveiws, most people feel the same way I did when I quit. I guess if I hang around the general on /vg/ I can at least have some fun joining the community.

Nice find, OP. I got one at a thrifts shop for cheap. It's a good stick, but be forewarned that it can wear out with regular use.
Here's what I would recommend:
Descent
Descent 2
Freespace 2
TIE Fighter
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter
X-Wing Alliance
Oolite
Rise of Flight

IL-2 1946 on Steam will get you shitloads of WWII air combat content
Don't even bother with War Thunder, that game is gutter trash
Star Citizen is fun with a stick if you can run it.
>>340693903
how is the combat right now? is it fun to just pick up and get into multiplayer dogfighting matches?
This is kind of what I most want in a space game right now - good, active, multiplayer dogfighting.

>is it fun to just pick up and get into multiplayer dogfighting matches?
That's about all it is at the moment
>>340695070
is it active and variant, though?
i use the little flip toggle at the bottom ( top of the base in ops image ) as a parking brake, and the stick itself as a hand brake. thats it.
>>340690415
I have the same stick. Here's some recommendations:
Freespace
Wing Commander
X-Wing and TIE Fighter
Descent
Also, don't be surprised if the stick eventually starts pulling to one direction no matter how much you adjust the sensitivity or deadzone. That's just something that happens with these particular sticks after a while. I've accepted that I'll probably have to buy a replacement every few years, because I really like its design.

Get a T-16000M next time
Same price but uses Hall sensors so it will never get gunked up over time
Diaspora is a fun free game to try, sliding around in 3 dimensions all the time and shit instead of flying like a plane in space like Freespace
>>340696241
can confirm; I've used the T-16000M as long as I used the 3D Pro in the past, and while the 3D Pro lost calibration, the T-16000M works just as new.
But hey, finding a 3D Pro for $5 isn't bad at all. Just be prepared to replace it.
Got a Saitek X-55
Shit's pretty awesome, definitely worth the money
Makes Warthog flying super awesome

I don't have 500 dollars to waste on that, anon
