TrekMD Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That is a nifty packaging with the foot pedal controller. I have one of those that I got on Ebay a while back. It was not expensive to get at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What aspects of the game do you control with the foot pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) There are various options: When using a joystick, you can use it like the Omega Booster grip, separating thrust and shield When using a driving controller, you can map thrust, shield and fire there. The setup is very flexible. And you can use it for any other joystick game too. Edited June 28, 2016 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Update! I got feedback from Marc, who stores the packs for me. There are at least 4 packs available (maybe 6, he will double check), shipping is 17€ to Europe and 37€ (ouch!) to North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Now that's what I'm talking 'bout Willis! - That packaging is awesome! Thrust+ Platinum was one my earliest homebrew purchases. I picked up a foot pedal controller, as soon as I could, and never looked back. The game is excellent without it, but is a totally unique and satisfying experience with it.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks! Are you using a joystick or a driving controller with the foot pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
