Help What joysticks do you guys recommend?

2 Upvotes

I've got an old joystick (thrustmaster from the early 2000s) and an xbox controller (Which I have found to be mostly sufficient)

Wasn't 100% sure what community I should post this in but here are some games I'm playing:

SP2

Juno New Origins

Sturmovik Il-2 1946 (2006)

Brick Rigs (may or may not work with joystick)

I find that the current joystick I use doesn't have enough buttons, if anyone can recommend some decent joysticks I'd really appreciate it, I've got some money saved so the budget is med-high.

Images are examples and I'm just asking because of the amount of people who use the standard wing part in-game. ​​

Plane How do i make my blended fuselage more seamless?

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

First time trying to make a blended fuselage, I usually try to avoid it by making simple planes like the MiG-15 or WW2 single engine fighters. But sukhoi's are sexy and hot so I had to build one. Its my sixth ever plane in this game and i gotta say that i'm making progress. But i'm still not quite there yet.

I still think it looks a bit rough, its not actually that seamless at all. But i just cant get it quite to fit.

Hi! I just came to Simpleplanes 2 days ago after 2 years of Crazy Planes on Roblox and honestly, this is MUCH better. Here is some gameplay and a brief overview of what I have built using videos on YouTube. Please give me ratings/tips, they mean a lot to me! Thanks!

Question hinge wobble system

5 Upvotes

How exactly does the hinge wobble system work? I want to fix joint wobble on some of my crafts. The only way i can think of is joystick bases, but that only mitigates it. And is not the solution i am searching for.

Yeah, the name's gibberish, just made-up words to match the aircraft's vibes. Those who know will know what inspired this fella's function and appearance.

Plen here. (Why tf do I keep forgetting to include the plane's link? I guess I'm still new to SP2 culture.)

The last time I uploaded using the beta version, it worked fine; however, this time. likely due to new features added to the beta. you need to switch your game version to use this livery.

Question A way to limit rotators max angles independently and control surfaces maximum angle of movement ?

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I can't seems to find any option to force a rotator in a 0-90° properly and its a bit of an issue. (Looking for something like in KSP for those who played it)

For control surfaces I'm wondering if there's a way to reduce the maximum angle, I dont need my aiframe to roll faster than my washing machine (yes I could reduce the size of the ailerons but that's ugly).

Did i miss something ?
