PS3 Aviator Buttons? X and Triangle = ?

[PF_Lizard]

When I select Wireless Controller (Aviator) I get no image so have no idea what buttons do what. So here is what I have found out so far, and if anyone could fill in the blanks, it would be appreciated.

L stick = Elevator / ailerons
R stick = Look
L1 / R1 = Rudder
L2 / R2 = Throttle (55% idle)
L3 = Flaps
R3 = View (sort of fighter jet style HUD)
Circle = Guns
Square = Rockets
Triangle = ?
X = Trim
Select = Landing Gear
Start = map (Pause by pressing select when in map)


Also can anyone confirm that L2 is a brake on the ground? I have my doubts as they are pretty crap brakes if that's the case! lol

I've tried X and Triangle as trim but neither seems to work?

X = lock on target camera on arcade and realistic mode.

Also, on sim mode, I cannot find the zoom in button... anybody knows if there is one dedicated to it.
On the Hotas it's the R2 button.... Actually I have got both sticks.

HOTAS is way more comfortable and precise but the look around hat switch makes it really hard to spot enemis on sim mode. Also the HOTAS has more button so you can do a bit more things (like zoom in).

AV8R-03 looks nice but is not comfortable at all and is a bit too strong. But the analogic look around stick makes the difference. The saitek Aviator on the PS3 version lacks 2 button that the X360 version has surprisingly.

So I think I will play the game (sim) with the AV8R just because of the "look around" stick that makes the life much more easier in this game already so hard.

If you play on arcade or realistic mode I think the HOTAS is a better choice since you have the "lock on target view" that is enough to play with but not if you are a lefty.

I found that on thr av8r if you flip the switch on the side to position 2 and set the control to trustmaster you get zoom in on the trigger and fire on the X. This setting also makes the rudder nice and smooth responsing. The problem with the av8r setup is that the rudder is assigned to L1 R1 so its only on center or off. Only trouble with the trustmaster set up on the av8r is that the hat switch doesnt work properly. you can use it to look around front left and right but not back.

How about thisone? It's really important also. Btw. for those who allready got the full game. Is there some difference in control configurations versus demo. I'm intressed especially of my platform which is PS3...and looks like it's also the worst platform having all kind of nonsense control issues. At least on demo it had.

i have the ps3 version, havent played much ( kids) but the controls are the same, and the stick feels like i have slightly more contrll compared to the demo.

edit, sorry, forgot for a moment you have an AV8R-03 , im using a hotas x, so it might be different
