i have been digging around the forums and found alot of jumbled info on setting the user.cfg file for joystick use. these few simple file mods are what i have found ( and tested) to work .

...first test....

cl_joystick_gain = 5
cl_joystick_sensitivity = 1.4
cl_joystick_throttle_range = 0
cl_joystick_invert_throttle = 1
cl_joystick_invert_pitch = 1
cl_joystick_invert_yaw = 0
cl_joystick_invert_turn = 0
I_joystick_deadzone = 0.15


this is where i started as a base. works alot better than the default but still left something to be desired im movement speed ( as i was looking to emulate the mouse ). personal preference may differ.

next test...

cl_joystick_gain = 8
cl_joystick_sensitivity = 0.75
cl_joystick_throttle_range = 0
cl_joystick_invert_throttle = 1
cl_joystick_invert_pitch = 1
cl_joystick_invert_yaw = 0
cl_joystick_invert_turn = 0
cl_joystick_deadzone = 0.1

This setup made the sensitivity too high for me. it was almost hard to maintain a target at long range ans made close in fighting far too inaccurate. but if you want to move as fast as the mouse, this may be for you.

what i use now...

cl_joystick_gain = 6
cl_joystick_sensitivity = 1.4
cl_joystick_throttle_range = 0
cl_joystick_invert_throttle = 1
cl_joystick_invert_pitch = 1
cl_joystick_invert_yaw = 0
cl_joystick_invert_turn = 0
I_joystick_deadzone = 0.15

This is the happy medium that works for me. great movement speed without too much play in the reticule. the slight deadzone makes maintaining a target on the move easy.

now remember , these are all subject to personal preference. Adjusting the joystick gain will make faster motions ( 1 = slowest ,10 = fastest). I would only mess with the sensitivity in 0.10 increments ( lower being more accurate) to get it just where you want it. remember to save a backup file of your original user.cfg.

I am new to the config programming process and this is the first time ive actually modified the user.cfg file. this was taken from the forums as i have very little idea what im doing (lol).
all i did was read , copy/paste ,and then experimented.

let me know how it works for you :wacko:

How do you get to the user.cfg?

You have to create the user.cfg and put it in the MWO directory, you can make it using notepad. Make sure you have file extensions on otherwise you end up with user.cfg.txt and it won't work.
