It is closer to I-War 2 because of the full newtonian physics, except for being far less polished of course. And according to some its controls as a whole arent stellar due to poor sensitivity. Itâs an essential extra if you want to play Wing Commander on a real FM Towns but youâd better be more than a little fanatical about such things to make it worthwhile, or have really, really small hands. Discussion in General Gaming started by HardDeck, Feb 22, 2012. Neither of those systems had the original Wing Commander 1 & 2 though and this is definitely preferable to using a gamepad and/or keyboard. As such, Iâd rate this behind the Sony dual analog and especially the 3DO CH flightstick when it comes to the options for playing Wing Commander games on consoles. Wing commander 1 lower joystick sensitivity full#It comes across as a bit of a toy when compared to the Thrustmasterâs and the like that were on the PCâs of that era. The main body of the unit is large and heavy yet the two sticks themselves where you will have your hands 99% of the time are lightweight and a bit cheap. Itâs like Sharp set out to make a flight controller and then thought it had better work with other types of games and compromised. Truth be told, Iâm a little disappointed with this controller. It works but surely didnât need to be this clunky. This means that to use the afterburner, I have to let go of the throttle entirely to reach over for the C button in the middle. My main complaint would be that the controls donât appear to be re-definable and while there are nice touches like being able to use the little toggle switch on the throttle to lock/cycle targets, the D button on the throttle only duplicates the B button on the joystick to fire missiles. Iâve not played a lot of Wing Commander with the Cyberstick as of yet as Iâm waiting until I get a hard drive. A switch to turn the centering off/on could have cured this but no such luck. A true throttle would have been far more satisfying but limited the controller in other games no doubt. When using it in Wing Commander, it essentially acts as a switch to raise and lower speed. The throttle on the left isnât a true throttle as it returns to the center position when released. The resistance on the stick is extremely low so itâs still very controllable like this. As for myself, Iâm left holding on with my fingertips. I suppose this was aimed squarely at the Japanese market who presumably have slightly smaller hands on average. Comparing it here to the Sony dual analog controller, there is a marked contrast in size and I would prefer the joystick especially to have been considerably bigger. The unit is quite large but not as large as I might expect. A little side benefit of this is that all the working parts of the analog controller can be easily exposed and serviced should it be required. The most striking of these is the ability to remove the stick and throttle and swap their positions around. Itâs a fairly high end device with a good deal of customization options available. Those Mega Drive titles donât include Wing Commander Iâm sorry to say. The Cyberstick is also supported on the X68000 (should I ever happen to get one) and apparently on a handful of Mega Drive / Mega CD titles. There are some more conventional analog gamepad controllers but it has to be a joystick for Wing Commander. This is a Sharp Cyberstick controller and is about the only option for an analog joystick on the FM Towns as far as Iâm aware. In the meanwhile, I have received one more relevant bit of kit which Iâll take a quick look at here:. More on that when it arrives and if I actually get it working. Iâve certainly learnt a bit but still had no success with my first attempts with an external hard drive so am going to try a SCSI2SD device next. Wing Commander, Tigers Qaw, and CEaw Marks are. IBM is a trademark -of International Bttaineas Machines Inc. ('Esc on keyboard) usually aborts your current activity.My quest to get an FM Towns set up continues. If your joystick has auto-fire, turn it off.
