I need a BF3 joystick - I can't figure this out

[TheGreatSatan]

I can fly a helicopter alright with my mouse and keyboard, but I blow on an airplane. A friend is using the Microsoft sidewinder, but Newegg has many bad reviews on every joystick they offer.

Who is playing BF3 and what joystick do you use?

My Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick has never failed me. OK the first one did after many years of abuse, but it performed so well I bought another to replace it. I use a metal clip on the throttle so my thumb does not slip off.

I also have one of these, but have not used it in a long time. I need to break it out and see if it is still as good as I remember...

I have an old one by logitech that uses a game port to usb adapter that works well. I just don't remember the name of it.

I have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It worked well with HAWX, it just took a while to get used to what buttons did what. I paid a lot more for it though!

PS: If I can find it, I'll send it to you TGS.

That's fine, I just ordered one instead. If it doesn't work...

I will find you!

You can find me online anytime and take out your grief on mah lowly recruit.

BTW: I paid a lot more for mine too.

Does the game let you run keyboard and mouse + the joystiq at the same time or are you then forced to play FPS with the Joystiq?

Let me know how it works out.. I have just been using the mouse and kybd for jets and if you look at my stats .. you can tell! I have thought about trying out my Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold on it but wasn't sure if it was worth configuring it up.. and also figuring out if it would interfere with other aspects of the game.

Although when it comes to jet combat.. I kind of like this approach...

yea that jet kill was sick! I don't use a joystick but I've got my trusty old Saitek Cyborg Gold sitting collecting dust, maybe it'll help me with the jets lol

WTF is up with physics in battlefield?
Not only this video but i saw another video were someone sniped a jet out of the air from the top of that big tower... and then jumped in to the jet as it slowed to a halt in front of the tower. Are these modified physics or is this how the game handles?
