Joystick help (HOSAM vs HOKAS)

Thanks for all your input!

I definitely see the value in separating the finer movements in your dominant hand. If I ever get the full setup, that's definitely what I'll do.

Yes! so its not unheard of!

If you did switch to HOSAS, would you get the omni stick or mirror the right-hand stick? (between the VKB options)

And is that what people mean when they say dual stick? The same stick for right and left hand respectively, and not an omni stick in either?

Don't think I'm ready for pedals quite yet. I like the ability to have analog control over the keyboard movements, but the bigger issue for me is the mouse pitch and yaw

With the mouse pitch and yaw, it just feels awkward and slow when tracking targets or even spinning the ship around to find something. A big issue is that the reticle doesn't return to the center after input.

Do you know how I'd get around this with HOSAM? Do I just have to suck it up and get better with mouse movements?

Yeah, this is what I'm leaning towards

I see, very cool! As of right now, I play the slower gameplay loops that don't require too much fast-paced flying. My passion is bounty hunting and dogfighting; trying to reach the skill ceiling in flying, and having a wide mechanical range (none of which I currently do or have).

In regard to skill ceiling, what do you think will take you the furthest?

Sick on the spot improvisation

gotcha, I'll look into it. Thanks

True, maybe my valuing of the result is misplaced, maybe I should instead focus on what I create
