Hi guys,
i need to buy a joystick and would like your input on what would work best with paldo. I'm not a gamer and don't want to waste time buying and returning stuff that is not compatible.
Any advice or recommendations?

Also, can one of those little "game pads" be connected to paldo and if yes, how are those things calibrated?

Ciao :)

All the help you can get is in the wiki:

How to Set-up a gameport,gamepad or joystick in paldo



Hope it is what you needed ...
Took me a while to build the package and write the tutorial.

Amnon82,
thank you. That should do the tick :-)
I didn't manage to go shopping today but my next trick to the pc shop will definitely include a game pad of some sort.
The other day I saw a new pc with a touch screen running vista. Man, was that thing sexy (not the vista part)! I have not had a graving for a new machine in years ....
In closing I want to mention that I have re installed paldo testing and everything works well again. Your blender build rocks and all is well :-)

Thank you for all the hard work and updates!
