I'd say it's working!

I bought an xbox 360 controller (USB) to use for battlefield on the PC.  ONLY intended for flying (choppers & planes).

I came in top chopper on the server. I know windswept was messing around a good bit (look at his score, that's not typical of him at all).

All I did for the whole map was fly the little bird.  Got some good air-time in there. Almost EVERY kill I got was vs another chopper. I couldn't do anything to ground forces (most soldiers could just dodge me). The other helicopters didn't seem to be running too flares though so I was able to use rockets & guns to take em out pretty quick.  I have to say the responsiveness of the helicopter is about 100x better than with keyboard & mouse. It seems like the throttle & rotation is WAY better.

I can fly thru much tighter areas than I could before and the heli turns on a dime. I'm going to try to find an empty server tonight & fly on karg island with the attack chopper.

You know, I got a cheap Logitech joystick for flying, but I might just keep it for jets only. I'm going to have to try using my 360 controller for the helicopter- I have a feeling that it might help quite a bit!

See you in the air Digi!

My son in law loves his 360 controller. He uses it for everything. I am worthless with it on troops but have not tried it flying.

Will a wingman rumblepad work for flying?
