Hi everyone,
i'm considering buying one of these vintage joysticks. However sometimes i read DOS compatibility isn't the best. I learned that joystick is digital but emulates 2 very DOS compatible Joysticks, CH Flightstick Pro and Thrustmaster FCS.
Turns out the game i need a joystick the most is Fleet Defender. I already have a true Thrustmaster FCS which is pretty decent, but the Sidewinder 3D Pro really ineterests me because of the twist feature. Being able to control the rudders is essential for good dogfight manouvers and lining up or correcting for a perfect shot. I've felt the need for it in Fleet Defender, while trying the Thrustmaster FCS. I'm just wondering if the Sidewinder 3D Pro works with Fleet Defender.
Does anyone have a Sidewinder 3D Pro that can give me a hand and test Fleet Defender for me? I'm wondering if the joystick works natively with rudder in the game, and if not will the Thrustmaster FCS emulation allow the use of the twist feature when foot pedals are selected.
EDIT: How about the 3D Pro Plus? Is it as compatible as the normal 3D Pro? Same features? Anything radically different other than design?
