Dual EVO OTA Space Combat Axis Setup
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2025 20:17
I have recieived the new Gladiator NXT EVO OTA sticks and gotten them setup, configured and running with Star Citizen under the 'normal' HOSAS setup. Right stick running roll, pitch yaw. Left stick running thrust, and up/down, left/right strafes. This works.
What I had in mind was different. I want to control it like a tank in 3D. Sticks forward = forward, stick back = Back, left forward - right back = Yaw Right & visa versa. Then for the strafes sticks out = up, sticks in = down, left stick out - right stick in = roll right & v.v. Still trying to work out the clutching and auto/non-centering part of that... From reading the configuration manual (understanding 'some') on the axis setups, it looks do-able. Just couldn't wrap my head around it. I am not sure how effective it would be, but I have had this 6DOF control setup burning space in my head since Descent. I'm imaging this setup with head tracking and maybe pedals (if needed) would be a realistic control system for space combat, if not, fun to run at least.
Thanks
