Best Joystick For X Plane 10 Software To Make

Do you use their software to make your stick compatible or do you use some additional third-party software that sits in System Prefs.

Depending on the game, it can become necessary to use third-party software (ControllerMate in my case) to support all knobs and buttons (due to the sheer number of them) but the basic functions work always out of the box.

No additional setting up or software, I just needed to config the buttons for the game.

Best Joystick For X Plane 10 Mac In A

Caveat- Ive not played anything needing a joy stick on my Mac in a decade).

I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and X-Plane with no problems.

So you want me to buy a new stick, and you havent used a stick in ten years.

Where you lose out with Mac often is the stick manufacturer is to lazy to write programmable software for it, unless you are using X-Plane which includes a control interface which the Mac can use.

Without programmable software, you just remap keys, in game by pressing the appropriate button.

How old is your stick You may have an issue with a dead stick.

Ive got a collection of 3 sticks (10 years old, or maybe older) that I broke out to test with Elite Dangerous on my PC.

Some examples of the many out there: CH Products Combat Stick.

Its not very good (for X-Plane, that is) and I really do need to look into something better, particularly as I want to play Elite Dangerous as well.

The stick is far too sensitive and its very difficult to control an aeroplane properly, especially a light aircraft.

I fly in real life and use X-Plane for practicing ILS approaches in zero visibility etc but I find myself concentrating far too much on controlling the aeroplane as very tiny joystick inputs result in the plane going all over the place.

Theres no OSX driver and the crude adjustments available in X-Plane just dont give enough adjustment.
