Does anyone know if there is a joystick and throttle compatible for Mac? I am trying to use the jantzens ASTB simulator but it's almost pointless without a joystick or throttle.
I know the Logitech X56 is compatible with Mac. That's what I have and it works flawlessly. Wasn't ever able to figure out how to use it with the Jantzen sim though.Does anyone know if there is a joystick and throttle compatible for Mac?

Then download "Joystick Mapper" from the app store. $5 but this is 100% worth it.
You also need to buy a ps/2 to usb converter. The joystick connection is not usb, it is ps/2.
Thanks for the help on this. There was another simulator similar to the Jantzen that is used in the TBAS that is compatible with a joystick and throttle.I know the Logitech X56 is compatible with Mac.

I wouldn’t use the TBAS version. That one uses rudders and the corresponding “screen” is on the bottom below the joystick screen as opposed to being to the left of the joystick screen in the ASTB. Not to mention it literally uses a rudder as a controller rather than a throttle.Thanks for the help on this.

Which test prep books did you use specifically?Just took the OAR and got 53. Very dissapointed given I studied for 2 weeks using Barron’s and another test prep book. The math section was basically the same as what I studied but the Reading and Mechanical Comprehension portions were significantly harder than what I had been practicing with.
My degree is a BA in Intelligence Analysis, 3.95 gpa. Looking to apply for 183X. Was told by the recruiter that my score was competitive and that I should submit but I don’t know…
I can retake the OAR in 30 days but the IWC Intel Proboard package is due Oct 7th. Assuming I retake, that would give me around 2 months to put together the OCS package.
In any case, I’m glad I know about this forum now. Would appreciate any insights as to whether or not I should just submit or retake.
My Officer recruiter says that the navy calculates all degrees into one overall GPA. Right now I have a overall GPA of a 3.05. Earning my MBA in supply chain logistics management and my Master’s GPA is a 3.7. I have 2 semesters left and I’ll have my MBA.
The opportunity presents itself for me to take additional undergraduate classes to boost my overall GPA. This Fall, if I move forward to taking a few undergraduate classes and pass those with A’s, my overall GPA would push to a 3.1, maybe a 3.2. Is this worth it overall? When applying to the Supply Board, are they going to be more concerned with my Master’s GPA since it’s more recent?
Basic engineering classes. Newtonian Physics will take you a long way for the math and mechanical sectionWhile taking graduate classes to earn my MBA this Fall 2022 semester, I will be also taking some undergraduate classes to help me better prepare for OAR. Can someone please tell me what college classes will help with the Math section and mechanical section on the OAR?
in suggest taking a look at faithbyflight’s YouTube channel. He goes over all the whole process in great deal from taking the astb to advanced jetHey everyone. Currently Active Duty Navy with hopes of applying to OCS early next year for an NFO slot. I’m about to start studying for my ASTB but I’m really overwhelmed with all the info that I’m seeing on here and I have no idea where to start! Any advice? Possibly from any prior enlisted folks??? Please explain to me like I’m 5!
I had parallels for school so I was able to use windows on Mac. then I used "Joy to Key" with the Logitech stick.I know the Logitech X56 is compatible with Mac. That's what I have and it works flawlessly. Wasn't ever able to figure out how to use it with the Jantzen sim though.
Smart idea. I didn't learn how to use Bootcamp to run Windows OS on my Mac until long after I took my ASTB... in hindsight, that would've made my life and PBM practice so much easier.I had parallels for school so I was able to use windows on Mac. then I used "Joy to Key" with the Logitech stick.
Classic mechanics physics. Ie any physics 101 or intro - as long as they cover the math and equationsWhile taking graduate classes to earn my MBA this Fall 2022 semester, I will be also taking some undergraduate classes to help me better prepare for OAR.
