It would be nice if we could get a list of all pc flightsticks that are gonna be compatible with the ps3 once the update comes out.

Exactly, there seems to be several models and I'd like to know exactly which one(s) are compatible for PS3.

And yes people cry about their cougars, the sad truth is you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
As to sinking 500 into a cougar flight stick, well I think you answered your own question there, anyone that is going to sink 750.00 into a joystick to play a PC game, well your probably not going too be happy even then are you ? I mean come one 500.00 to customise an already great stick cause what the pot had 1 or 2% drift ? Now come on and post about the litany of problems you had and all you had too do too fix them, why ? Because you have every right in the world too
For every person that stands there with their cougar going my pots suck balls and are worn out, theres ten guys standing behind him smiling, hence, you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
Fly with your 35.00 joystiks, buy one every two weeks see if I give a flying ****, I could care less, Thrustmaster and Logitech and Saitek will love you for it.

I do wish you all the best of luck in finding a stik to let you enjoy your gaming/sim experience, if you are having fun, hell who am I to want to rain on that parade. I just thought it was funny this whole flightstik thing, its sooo old but with the release of the first serious console simm is re born.
Best of luck to you all,
-G.

Actually, I was happy for about a year with my modded cougar - then something went out on the circuit board - the last straw, so I sold my modded cougar to another simmer who swapped out the board.

I bought a CH fighter stick after that, it is just as accurate as the cougar was with hall sensors and other mods plus it is still going strong after 3 years of hard use and no issues.

The cougar was poorly made, nice on the outside and crap inside. You should expect even cheap joysticks to work reasonably well. Seems too many of them do not.

I just got the thrustmaster hotas to use on my PS3 and all i can say is im so glad i dont have to mash the dualshock anymore. The hotas has a brilliant setup

I will check this in the morning because I am at work right now.

Don't know if this works but this is what Saitek told me. PS3 AV8R

Hi Tim,

I forwarded this to one of the product managers directly from Saitek, and this was their response:

________________________________________

The twist is digital in Mode 1, but it's analog in Mode 2. This is because there's no set specification for stick layouts on PS3, whereas there is on Xbox 360; therefore what we had to do was configure the stick so that it matched the control layout for the major games available at the time - these were Tom Clancy's HAWX and Blazing Angels.

If the customer switches to Mode 2 then they will find that they'll get an analog response, as well as the fact that the buttons will then all be correctly assigned!

If they're in any doubt that the twist is analog in this mode then they simply need to connect it to a Windows PC and test it in Game Controllers where they will see that there is an analog response in Mode 2.

Hope this helps.

Can someone confirm - lol. I already returned mine, if this is true I'll be buying another.

If so, this new deserves it's own stickied thread.

well guess what AV8R-03 on mode 2 , game control scheme on thrustmaster 1 setting is the ticket, indeed analog! just cant figure out squad commands just yet

So your playing with a AV8R-03 on mode two with the thrustmaster setting?

We are trying to figure out if the controls are the same from mode 1 to mode two with the AV8R control setting.

caphead 09-22-2009 04:35 AM

yes Mode2 on AV8R-03 and thrustmaster layout 1 on game settings. Like i said though so far squadron control is lost, havent tried bombs or rockets either yet. cant get a rear view either with hat i just found out but it does get sideways and up..

the control layout for the aviator setting in game vs mode1 and mode2 on stick are different, way different! as far as mode2 rudder being analog the answer is yes it is.
