This is your best bet for the PS3 (http://www.thrustmaster.com/products.aspx?CategoryID=1&PlatformID=12)

Do you have to twist the stick for rudder? I'm not a big fan of that type of set-up.

Anton stated that all sticks for PS3 and 360 are supported.

Hey Sea, there is a rocker on the throttle.

The Thrustmaster HOTAS has the option to use the rocker bar on the throttle or by twisting the stick. The twist stick rudder control has a locking feature so you can't twist the stick when you're using the throttle banana bar.

Dual-system aerodynamic control: by rotating handle (with integrated blocking system) or by progressive tilting lever

It looks like the hat switch is to the left on the buttons on the stick. I would say yes, but I'll be able to tell once I receive this in the post. Whether or not it will work in the game... I would guess so.

That would be the hat switch mentioned above. ;)

Nice one, if you could post when you get it, would apprciate it. The reason I ask is a review on Amazon suggested it didnt have one.

I thought that as well. If it has the hat switch, I'm definately buying it ;)

Not sure if I'm misreading things, but this is from the TM site:

http://www.thrustmaster.com/product.aspx?ProductID=149&PlatformID=12

"Trigger for brakes (civil flight) or for rapid fire (military flight) + multi-directional hat (panoramic view)"

Yep, that's good news. I read that someone was using the stick on HAWX and they couldn't get the HAT switch to work. ;)

Maybe our good friend Anton can confirm the hat switch will work on the Hotas X. ;)
