hehehe.... the last time I used my Sidewinder Pro for a FPS was with Quake just to handicap myself. Of course, nobody believed that I had handicapped myself cause I knew the maps so well, I never had to run forward *anywhere* when I was being chased *grin* (of course I was switching from pure keyboard, and they really didn't like me playing on that... something about being able to circle-strafe on the keyboard *cackle*)
Suggestions for using the stick as a control device:
Set the rotational control to strafe left / right
Throttle obviously to move forward / back (it takes a bit of practice to get used to the idea of centering the throttle to stop movement)
Primary fire on trigger, secondary on button 4 (bottom side thumb)
hat left: previous weapon, hat right: next weapon
hat up: best weapon
button 3 (top side thumb) translocator (learn it love it, with this combo [4 and 3] you can easly switch to trans, trans and switch to last used weapon with a slide of the thumb /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif )
Map your most used communication to the top thumb button (eg if your a CTF fan, you might like to use something like Incoming or I'm in position or something)
the base buttons and hat down are still free, I would probably map more communications / taunts onto those buttons
I hope this helps some.
BTW, once you've mapped a couple of the buttons you can always bring up the console and type preferences to get to the advanced setup and raw bindings
thanks for ant help ya'll can provide. gumby
