How Is The G-pad Pro Gyroscopic Gamepad?

Featured Replies

Has anybody tried this?http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.ph...products_id=954http://www.edimensional.com/product_info.p...products_id=118Is it there any advantage comparing it with a standard gamepad? I mean, when using the motion control, can I use the 2 sticks for other things (one for rudder and something else, and the other one for the hat switch) or the left stick is just a backup of the motion control for when I'm tired of it? I'm thinking about getting a gamepad for when I have to travel with my laptop and I have to leave my joystick at home, and this seems interesting. What do you think?Thanks in advance.Best regards from ColombiaLuis Miguel

Six months and no one said anything, so I'll answer myself: I bought it (very cheap, even for a poor Colombian :() and set it up as many people has recommended here in the forums:- Throttle and rudder in the right joystick: The rudder works as usual, but for the throttle, I took an approach suggested here (but using FSUIPC): I divided its travel in 5 different zones, in this order (top-down): Throttle Increase, Throttle Increase Small, dead zone, Throttle Reduce Small, and Throttle Reduce. Excellent when you have visual feedback of the throttle lever position in FS.- The left joystick is a backup for the motion sensors. So, if the built-in accelerometers fail (or my wrists are tired), I can press the Mode button and switch to the left joystick. However, the Y-axis (pitch) looks reversed or at least, not designed for flying.- The left keypad: by default, it's the same as a hat switch in a conventional joystick. I left it untouched.With the motion sensors there is a weird feeling of being always in trim, with no forces trying to center your "yoke". But it's very comfortable for travel, specially when you travel home every 3-6 weeks with no space in baggage for the joystick (and your ex-g/f has your older joystick). The included drivers do not work in Vista, however, the default MS ones are OK. You'll lose the vibration feedback, but that's something I don't miss.Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel
