Yeah, its still a normal Joystick.. can be used with any DX app.. But the configuration is desinged for Warthog sims.
The problem with ARDrone is that if it sends even the slightest of movement to the Drone it will respond to it (If im hovering for example it will stop hovering, which means it will stop auto compensate and you have to be alert if its windy), so its more important in this scenario then in pc gaming
Cant you just set a dead zone on your stick to avoid that?
Theres also some application I used to use (cant remember its name now) that lets you bind your joystick buttons to keys or macros etc and lets you reconfigure anything you want. Really handy app.
The T16000M has pretty much zero dead zone when I use it, but if you let it go it seems to be pretty much at 0,0. I can take my hands off and hover in BF2 without touching it, couldn't do this with any of my previous sticks for any length of time. The price put me off at first as well, along with some comments that the buttons feel 'cheap', but whilet hey don't have a massive amount of 'click', they work fine. The biggest issue I have with it is that it doesn't have enough buttons on the stick itself. I'm about to buy another one actually and mod it to add another 3 buttons or so to the stick itself (rewiring the buttons from the base) and also i'm going to look at wiring up an external collective to the throttle for flying heli sims.
