ASTB Struggling with stick part of PBM - Need advice

[the based midshipman]

I've been studying a lot for the ASTB recently, and have been using @Jantzen_Wells 's ASTB simulator with a Thrustmaster T Flight HOTAS programmed to my Mac Air using the app Joystick Mapper. I've found that the throttle portion works very well but the stick is glitchy and can't seem to connect as smoothly and struggles to complete the cursor's movements in the game.

I know some people have found a lot of success with hooking up joysticks to their computers to play the sim game, and would appreciate any advice on this subject and how I can more accurately use the HOTAS so that I can be more prepared for the PBM. Any better programs, apps, or even throttles I should use?

thanks,
-TBM

Hello all, I just found this great site, I wish I had known about it earlier. Here's my situation, I'm a fifth year senior majoring in electrical engineering (graduating in Dec.) I do pretty well in school, and I've been thinking a lot about my future lately and I guess I don't want to sit in...

Lots of info at your disposal, just need to find it.
