Primarch Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 I've just got a nice new joystick with a hat, and to be honest I cannot think of what functions to map to it (I'm so used to playing with just 3 buttons). Any suggestions. ------------------ 'Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it...'

Primarch Posted April 11, 2001 Author Share Posted April 11, 2001 Hmmm...well after due consideration I settled on the following: Left: All laser energy to shields. Right: Weapon settings (dual fire, quad fire, defensive fire etc). Up: Preset 1 (F11 - General Combat mode) Down: Preset 2 (F12 - Get outta dodge mode!) As for the others... Thumb 1: Nearest enemy Thumb 2: Switch weapons Trigger: Guess Pinky (Stoopid place for a button!): Nearest Objective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
