Keyboard & trackball. Never played on a console so pads are alien to me.

Keyboard man here, although I would love to try out a pad some day. I hear it's much easier to get sped on bikes, although I don't seem to fall behind, so perhaps it's a moot point. Unfortunately it probably takes forever to get good at using a gamepad, so a quick try probably won't help me a lot. :p

i don't get the point of using a pad... i think keyboards are easier to use, since pads have keys all over the place (under, on the side and off course on top :))... About the "quicker on the bike"-thing using a pad: (most) of the time i'm in front with the bike (when it comes to accelerating, not winning the damn race, i hate the bike :P)... If u meant bicycle: i dont like that at all :P...

lal brujo, there has to be difference, i'm glad you noticed ours :P... but i can beat your ass in cornering :P... but we're a team, so somebody has to take lead and i want to give you the honor of that :D

really thx snipe!
about the pad, i played on ps2-1, game gear, N64, Ms & others so the keyboard is for me an accordion with 128 keys!

PlayStation DualShock 2  + USB Adapter, using the exact same configuration at the PS2 version of GTA.

good things:

left analog up/down = lean foward/backward in bike, and camera top/bottom in car. ( no need to "tap" buttons to go faster :P)

Right analog = Camera, I can look ahead of turns , and up /down hills when racing :)

can do "slight" turns, no need to tap there again for little turns.

Can press way more keys at the same time

I tried once to fly with keyboard... eeek pain


I'm thinking of recording myself playing once, screen + hands on controller, just for the sake of it :P

Keyboard and Mouse here. have used PS1 pad rigged up to my pc when i played single player, but K+M much better IMO

I dont seem to have any slower-that-others-on-bikes problem either raz0
flight isnt a problem with keys for me, just gotta tap em gently and for microseconds at a time hehe :P
Title: Re: What do you use for driving?
Post by: pro2c on February 04, 2008, 04:37:16 PM
using the mouse to look ahead in tight turns, but this is kind of hard, cause i drive with the left hand then :-\
...should have a special "mouse mounted on head" to use camera, this would be cool ;D
Title: Re: What do you use for driving?
Post by: Snipe on February 05, 2008, 10:06:35 PM
So in short: knuckles and el brujo use a pad... and the rest of the world are using the most senseable solution xD
Some ppl say that tapping the keys during flight is precision work, but i think it's not that hard really... I'm pretty darn precise with those keys when it comes to flying (which i dont like, but still)...

Exactly the same as Knuckles...been using a trusty Sony PS2 pad on a PC for years now. I hate Sony, but I love their pads, best you can get! With MTA, it was just natural to use a pad after so many years of playing GTA3, VC and SA on a PS2 so to have the same config for MTA is wicked.

I would have thought using a pad would be a big advantage for the reasons Knuckles says, but I still get regularly out drove by the likes of Mr Dogshit and Micro who use use the keyboard, so it seems like there is no substitute for good old fasioned skill in MTA...

I found that the controller on a ps2 in combination with gameplay in gta (no matter what version) sucked pretty bad... but with driving perhaps it's easy to use the stick/direction cross-key... but what i earlier said: with the bike for example im pretty much almost the fastest one accelerating (watch me go at the start once in a while :P)... I'll therefore stick with my trusty keyboard :)

I use a Dual Shock 2 with my own configuration (not the ps2 default) and it works perfectly

Analog steering beats tapping keys imho.

Some simulators allows you to control the amount of turning and speeding, unlike the damn keyboard where you press right get a fixed amount of turning.

But i will stick on to keyboard. Its much more simpler.  ;)
