Star Citizen Dual Stick And Throttle

So in my internal debate of hotas vs dual stick i thought.

Star citizen dual stick and throttle.

Your throttle is like 2 or 3. I have dual stick and throttle and would recommend it. This is because space sims like star citizen and elite dangerous have 6 dof degrees of freedom which means you need 6 axes to control your space craft optimally plus another axis. Would it be possibly to for example have a warthog and a t16000m using the sticks for the usual dual stick setup while also having the warthog throttle to the left of your left stick and use its extra buttons for the probable mass of bindable future actions and for cruise control when you don.

This is a short dirty video to invert your hotas throttle control for 3 5 and beyond flight model. Would it be possible to do both. In the controls section where you can adjust your curves there is an option to invert the throttle. All that being said i know several people who do prefer the dual stick setup.

You have to make sure you are on the right joystick input though i kept changing it on 1 but that is actually the flight stick itself and won t affect the throttle. Just use the mini stick that is part of the throttle. It is worth trying. The other advantage although specific to the thrustmaster t 16000m hotas is that you don t have to make some weird compromise for an unintuitive up down thrust.

I use dual stick in dogfights canyon flying etc and the throttle for set it and forget it flying like entering and exiting atmo. The throttle is also useful for the extra buttons i have things like quantum on it to keep my stocks open for missiles and target locks.
