ive got the game microsoft flight simulator X, i was just wondering how you can use an xbox controller for it.
i have the game too... its very fun & realistic
if you can install the controller to any other game then it's probably installed...
have you tried it yet? it should be automatic :)
no i havent tryed yet because its a wireless controller, so what i was wondering is, is there a way to connect it, is there an adapter of some sort, or a cable youcan get or what? and by the way, i know you can definetely use an xbox controller because the controls for it are in the instructions.
ohh do you mean normal xbox? because now-a-days xbox = xbox 360
wat are you talking about, i didnt even know you could get a wireless normal xbox controller, of course its xbox 360. ill ask the question again to make it clear:
i want to use an XBOX360 controller for flight simulator x, i know that it is possible to use it. i want to know how you connect the controller to the laptop, is there a cable you can get for it? or is there a wireless adapter for it?
i just wanted you to know what i was asking. but it doesnt matter anyway because i found on the internet a wireless adapter which you just plug into the laptop/pc and you can use any of the xbox 360's wireless accesories.
No.
You can use a wired controller though.
what are you talking about ellis, i found a way to do it:

I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm playing this regularly as I'm taking a pilot course starting in November and I will be on this simulator nearly everyday for months.
I'd love if you guys wanted to hook up for a few flights in smaller planes such as the Cessna 172.
Since I'm learning for real I will be quite boring, as in, flying properly.
Thanks!
wow huge bump!Quote:

and, i wouldnt use a cessna myself, i would be using the starship enterprise. or maybe a star wars X wing.
Why not fly with a joystick? More realism and quite comfortable.
i was actually looking for a cheap method of doing it. and getting a joystick aint cheap.Quote:

but not that it matters anyway because this thread was made a long time ago. i dont even use the game any more
Mods? Eww :pQuote:
