Modded mine soon after purchase and to hell with the warranty.

Also added a switch to change the function of the centre button from Map (for Sim games) to Target Camera (for Realistic).

Amazing what a soldering iron & 5 bucks at Radio Shack will do for a pretty much worthless controller eh ;)

glad I could be of help

In reply to modding a better stick by incorporating the AV8R PCB's. Haven't looked into it fully yet but the AV8R has two top hat type switches (one at the top and one at the rear for the menu options and command control) but many better sticks have just the one e.g. the Cyborg Gold 3D. The other problem may be the pots used in the AV8R which have very little rotational movement on the 45 degree pots fitted. Also noticed the values either side of the pot centres are not the same so may benefit from some sort of calibration. Sure others are looking into the technical aspects of modding these sticks but going to examine the dead zone issue and the possibilty of reducing this, not sure at this stage that it can be entirely negated due to the MS interface.
