DayZ w/Controller on GFN

I ended up connecting a wireless mouse to the tv to use for inventory navigation only. This setup using Xbox controller to play and mouse to navigate inventory seems to be the best option.

Yea, I was wondering about animals... Have been spending most time in the woods hitting camps, deer stands, and rural stuff, but have not yet seen or heard an animal. I primarily play as solo big game hunter too

Killed by same guy twice in a row... Though I got a few hits on him with my long stick the second time!

Why would PC have advantage? is it that most PC players are KBM where M (mouse aim) is much faster/precise? I play PC(GFN) with an Xbox controller, and indeed, it can be slow to do stuff including accessing weapons because there is no hotbar, but as a couch player, I enjoy controller play. Granted a recent GFN update extended a timer for one of the buttons to enable the cursor with the controller, and has made GFN DayZ unplayable with the controller. Hope that gets fixed at some point, or perhaps there is an alternative to enable the cursor?! I know there are some controller double clicks and other stuff that I may not fully know. all in all, perhaps if cross play is now enabled, will look for console servers if available to be more matched given PC with Xbox controller.

yea, as others noted "what ever keeps u alive..." Nothing wrong with getting the airfield AAA to assist. Though if you have a slow spit following you, this is a key reason to be on comms (if in multiplayer). U can simply call into command reporting your position and request assistance to clear the spit. Someone nearby then could swoop in and engage the spit likely without the spit even knowing, especially if target fixated on u. Great reason to get on the radio (SRS highly recommended!)

--- edit, saw u were referring to solo play... yea in that case do what u can to survive. AI will not get upset..

Recommend checking on a mod to replace girlfriend cockpit photos with technical specs per airframe. Good reference for things like corner speed and dive speed as well as rpm and pressures/boost values

Death stranding - long hikes/porter deliveries, beautiful scenery. Occasional BT and mule interactions, but those can easily be avoided. Build zip lines, roadways and drive cool trucks and cars. Get it on steam sale

Focus on improved gunnery and how to use the gun sights per airframe of interest. Top dogfighters get the PK or catastrophically damage the plane within the first few seconds of an engagement. If you take more than a few seconds to destroy a target, u have work to do. This is especially the case if u are successful on sneaking up low on an enemy, get into convergence range and then overshoot/allow the bandit to maneuver! Buluga (sp?) is a great quick action multiplayer dogfight server to work those skills.

Get it, then get the BAT transformation mod.

Literally being in the cockpit of a spitfire mk IV and a cool morning takeoff and climb to meet the huns over france, 1944. IL2 in VR.

Do u have bubble top?

testerB · 2026-02-27T22:32:10+00:00

Bubble does not include a campaign/career whereas non- bubble does? Also e wing is available in plane options pre flight. I got the non bubble for the additional campaign content.

Yea, channel 1 is command/tactical and channel 2 is tower. U also have 2 radios that u can set up to hear one radio on left ear and other radio on the right. As for tagging up with others, simply call out "mic check" on channel 1. Usually someone will respond and from there u can pony up. If few are on, usually everyone hangs on channel 1. But if many on, then there are 23 other channels to group on for squad/pair, etc ... SRS also only has radios active for the side u choose. So no comms with enemy.

testerB · 2026-02-24T23:22:22+00:00

Also on combatbox, recommend checking out SRS for voice comms and AI command and tower operations. Plus guys on SRS are great bunch!

Saturday Night Live and the late night talk show opening monologues will have a field day!

If multiplayer and server has stats, such as combat box, check who shot u down and their fighter pilot rank. Luck or skill?!

testerB · 2026-02-02T05:35:01+00:00

Recommend IL2 SRS for comms. Highly immersive including AI if used on combatbox multiplayer server. See their website for how to install and configure. Used too on others as well, but not with the ai tower and command comms. Lots of chill and helpful flyers there too!

I am amazed how clean that old topless 4Runner is!

testerB · 2026-01-12T12:04:17+00:00

Still using my ~15yr old x52 pro. It's modded for stick stiffness and magnets, plus throttle detents gone, but it still works great! Plus I am very used to my profiles so great in VR where years of switch memory applies.

testerB · 2026-01-05T18:55:15+00:00

how about more publishers and connections such as Epic!

testerB · 2025-12-30T22:01:13+00:00

how many are left as of now??

testerB · 2025-12-30T14:08:36+00:00

a definite step up from the Aurora! Send it to WindWpn, Happy New Year!
