Thrust + , what is the best controller combination?

[lucifershalo]

I have joystick, paddle, driving, quickshot (with button on the top) and foot pedal controllers...what is the best combination to play Thrust?

 

And I suppose that for gravitar only the joystick can be used?

[Thomas Jentzsch]

I always play with a simple joystick, some like playing with two buttons and others prefer the DC with the footpedal.

 

So what can I say?

[lucifershalo]

up to me, right?

try all the different solutions

and then I can choose....

[+remowilliams]

I definitely prefer the DC and footpedal combo.

I cant make it work

the footpedal responds but not the Driving controller in port 2

any idea?

Except for the standard tests you probably did already (check the DC with other games in port 2, check the footpedal switches), I have no idea.

 

How does the ship react? Does fire work?

[lucifershalo]

I checked indy 500, port 2 works fine

thrust,fire,shield on the footpedal are working in port 1

[lucifershalo]

On the footpedal, I selected fire, left and right on joystick position or not?

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Not sure. Left and right should be done with the DC. Did you follow the instructions for the footpedal?

 

I'd have to unpack my own footpedal for testing.

[lucifershalo]

I dont have any instructions for the footpedal

there are 4 positions joystick-1-2-3

so I assumed any postions you dont use should be put on "joystick"

[EricDeLee]

You assume correctly.

 

As for combinations of controllers... etc...

 

I think I've had my best scores on the footpedal and a Sega controller. I will be leaving joystick inputs on my Countertop project so that I can plug in the foot pedal and play Thrust the way I like it.
