The game has ten thousand different keyboard shortcuts you ideally use and getting them all mapped on a pad is, uhm, not sure, let's say potentially a challenge. I tried playing XWA with a PS4 gamepad not too long ago. Getting the axes to map correctly was a bit of a nightmare but once that was out of the way it worked pretty well. Aiming with the analog stick was tricky, but that's probably more down to my own lack of skill with a controller than a problem the setup itself. I didn't find the lack of buttons to be an issue, honestly.

It's a great flightstick with tons of axes and buttons. I used and loved it in X4 (once the 4.0 update and new expansion come out I need to revisit the game). 3 hours ago, Wormerine said: Or you can buy a stick. I am genuilly considering that (thrustmaster t 16000m?) though my pad's left stick is misbehaving, so maybe I will have to buy a new pad before that. I enjoyed that joystick, but I also bought the throttle aswell, if anyone else would buy it I also recommend going to the hardware store and buying some silicone grease. The throttle is really sticky and from what me and a friend found out, they don't grease the runners properly, so you're going to have to do that yourself. 2 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Wormerine Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Speaking of remasteres. I had no idea that Pharaoh is getting the remaster: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1351080/Pharaoh_A_New_Era/ Frankly, I own copy on GOG, and last time I checked it's perfectly playable so, meh. Nostalgia is strong with this one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I bought the USB version of a CH F-16 Fighterstick purely to play Privateer so hey. Design as old as the game itself. Sure, without the nostalgia factor there are probably better buys out there. No twist axis back then, definitely, though I dunno how common it is on modern sticks. Meanwhile I've had a Cougar HOTAS for 20 years but have barely used it - too complex for the games I play - obviously it's waiting for Star Citizen.

213374U Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I have to say, I'm surprised. PDX have developed a bit of a reputation for releasing broken stuff so this is not in character for them.
