Hey guys...first post

If I want to go and buy a stick for the xbox 360. What's the best? to buy brand new in the shops.

The Aviator is your only option for new and easy to get. The Ace Edge isn't sold anymore other than extremely overpriced hoarders who may still have them. I think they're usually $200 on Amazon or Ebay. The Aviator is $$40-50.

I have never seen an Ace Edge in any store, ever.

Hi, All first post.

I'm a veteran of Warbirds in the late 90s, and a true addict. In fact my internet ID was forever set by Warbirds as Ragged (like my flying). I welcome the potential arrival of a decent sim on a console and have ordered an xbox jsut to run it on.

Anyway on to sticks. The Edge is clearly based on the Saitex x36 stick plastics I have gathering dust on top of my wardrobe. Perhaps IL and Saitek could do a deal/bundle?

Right so it seems the aviator is my only choice for a new purchase. I just have the feeling that something else is in the pipe line but I very much doubt this game will be pushing any hardware companies into making a new stick. Weird that MS dont have something out.

Anyway thanks for all the answers.

Does anyone here own the Aviator? Thoughts?

Oh right just saw this from anton

"Details about joysticks are planned to be released soon, as community update.
Until that - I am not allowed to provide information, sorry.
Publisher already had moved some community updates few times, due to unknown reasons. Should be in a week."

Looks like I'll be holding off.

I think there is a good flight stick from Thrustmaster, which works with the PC and PS3 too:

T.Flightstick Hotas X

But we don't have a confirmation from Anton, whether these sticks will work with BoP. I would wait to buy one of these sticks, until we haven't got any affirmation.

All console compatible joysticks currently available om market will work with BoP.
