GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
Rudder control function
Your FFB Joystick features a rudder control function, which in an airplane corresponds to the pedals used by the pilot to turn the rudder, allowing the airplane to pivot around its vertical axis. This rudder control function is accessible on your joystick by twisting the handle to the left or to the right. If you do not want to use the rudder function, you can stop the handle from twisting by using the locking screw located at the base of the handle. Use a flathead screwdriver to change its position and thus lock/unlock the handle's twisting feature.
Throttle
Your FFB Joystick features a throttle slider (2) which you can use to easily control your airplane's acceleration.
Point Of View button
Your FFB Joystick features a Point Of View button (1) which, as its name indicates, allows you to instantly view everything that is going on around your airplane. To use this feature, simply go into your game's setup menu and program the different views (rear view, view to the left, view to the right, and also the external views) onto the directions of the Point Of View button.
Of course, you can also reserve the Point Of View button for other uses (firing, etc.).
