Dammit, this makes it really hard to wait for Amazon and Thrustmaster to get their together on US orders.

Well, I'm a little disappointed- I figured when the box was opened light would shoot out of it and angels would start singing. But even so, it still makes my pants smaller and I cant wait to get mine.

That did actually happen, howeer our initial focus groups said that it was a little too distracting, so we spent a considerable number of man hours cleaning the footage to just show the NCOs (Non Celestial Objects)

How have you found it only long sessions on your right wrist?

How have you found it only long sessions on your right wrist?

there is a rather big change to physically playing as instead of using your thumbs and fingers, it's your whole hand, wrist, elbow etc. etc. I've played a max of about one hour sessions to far (busy busy busy) but had no ill effects. Didn't feel uncomfortable at any point.

I have one, most Thursday I play a good long night session and would say it can be noticeable on your wrist. So wondering if it was just me. One thing I would have had is one more button, below the little thumb hat, would of had that bound to scb/chaff

I have sent a message asking when they'll be available over the pond. Not sure they'll have an answer, but worth asking the question.

That would be nice. Finding the space can be a nightmare. I personally have chaff slaved to B2 which works well

That's nice, but we were asking about the joystick.

Same here. Longest session was 3 hours. No issue at all. It worried me a bit at first though.. All good.

 

[PBSF Pendragon]

I was a little worried about how good I'd actually be. But took the Conda out for my first go and didn't do too badly! first ever dock is on the unboxing video above and I think it went better than could be expected

 

[Armholeeio]

Could you put up the pic of your set key bindings for us

 

[PBSF Pendragon]

Sure. Only thing it doesn't really show is that when landing gear is down the hat togglet changes to thrust forward backward left and right, and the throttle axis controls up and down

 

[Armholeeio]

Cheers pixel I'll think I'll modify your set up

Yeah absolutely, it's not going to work for everybody. We have our spreadsheet mapped out as below, with the red being the things you can't (or we wouldn't want to) combine, as well as the list of functions you can get in there

I play a good long night session and would say it can be noticeable on your wrist. So wondering if it was just me.

I found this initially, and I concluded it was actually due to the thickness of the base (insert joke here), if you have it on a tray or on your lap, it puts your wrist at an odd angle, I fixed this by mounting it on boards that lay alongside your legs so the controls are parallel with your elbows
