I use dual stick in dogfights canyon flying etc and the throttle for set it and forget it flying like entering and exiting atmo.
Star citizen dual stick and throttle.
It is worth trying.
Star citizen aims to span multiple video game types by combining space trading space combat and shooter elements in a first person massively multiplayer online game.
While keyboard and mouse works for star citizen its not the ideal way to play it except for the first person parts.
In the controls section where you can adjust your curves there is an option to invert the throttle.
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.
Would it be possible to do both.
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.
All that being said i know several people who do prefer the dual stick setup.
So in my internal debate of hotas vs dual stick i thought.
Just use the mini stick that is part of the throttle.
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.
I have dual stick and throttle and would recommend it.
Your throttle is like 2 or 3.
If your input is not listed it means its input 1 or hotas.
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.
