hi all
I need a new joystick for MSFS default helicopters. Where can ! find out whether my choice of controller has an installed profile before I plug it in ?
I wouldn’t worry about that. It’s very fast to assign the axis and few buttons you need. Most important for helicopters is one that you can at least reduce the self-centering force somehow. I use a second hand SideWinder FFB2 stick to achieve this. Can get them pretty cheap on eBay but I would not really recommend buying in to that now as the FFB software situation for 2024 version of the sim is a big unknown at the moment sadly. (…assuming you intend to move over to 2024 when it releases! )
Some topics that may be of interest below. Of course it depends on budget!
Do you (or will you) have rudder pedals for anti-torque pedals?
