Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro

[TheMarine]

Hi everybody. Is there anybody out there who is able to confirm whether the "Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro -usb" is compatible for use with the PS3 version of BoP? I personally do not like any of the other flight sticks available. I am yet to purchase a copy of the game but would like to know whether my favorite stick is compatable with my favorite platform.
Peace.

On the game, it says it only configures to the T-master and AV8R, doesn't say anything about the Sidewinder Precision Pro. Sorry.

The upcoming patch for the game should allow some pc joysticks to work for the ps3, but it is not yet known which ones. As far as I know, the best way to check is to plug your joystick in and fire up the game (or the demo in your case) and see if the stick and various buttons work at all.

In my case I have a Saitek Cyborg Evo, when I tried the demo I was able to use the stick to fly the plane, but the guns were not assigned to the trigger button and the rudder and throttle were the wrong way around. When the patch comes, I expect to be able to setup this joystick properly using a custom config, making this joystick fine to use for BoP.

However it may be the case that with some joysticks, some of it works and some buttons dont, so I guess it will be a case of try it and see when the patch comes, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=9696&page=4#32

I plugged my MS Sidewinder stick in the first time I played BoP, doesn't work correctly, you can control pitch and roll, but no yaw and half the buttons do not work with the PS3.

Thank you gentlemen. Much appreciated.
Happy flying - hopefully...
