Post patch joystick?

[P-51]

Ok, i know there has been a lot of threads about this but which is the best post patch joystick? I really want a Hotas like the thrustmaster but i also want the Analogue of the AV8R.. So what is the best PC flight stick for this game?

I second this question.

i've let this game sit until the update and now i'm wondering the same!

I just ordered the Thrusmaster Hotas from Amazon for $30. I can't hardly go wrong at that price. It's supported by the upgrade and is the choice of this forum, at least prior to the update. I'm a little concerned about quality but it looks and sounds better (to at least several guys on this forum) than the Aviator. I like it cause it has a seperate throttle stick with the rudder inputs on front of the throttle to work with the fingers. It looks like you never take your hands off the sticks in combat. Hell, it's cheaper than a Sony controller! Looking forward to it!!

HANDS F***IN DOWN THE SAITEK X52 !!! Standard X52 or the X52 pro !!
It works Great. I have been using it for all my pc flight sims and on Ps3 BOP it works smooth as butter. The little analog stick on the throttle controls your look around view and it is perfectly under your left thumb at all times with your left hand on the throttle.
I recomend it to any one any time any place.

Damn. Now I here it! Hmmm. Send the Hostas back when it gets here? Sell it on the forum? Should I even open the box and try it out first? Shit.

Good news I almost bought this stick.... Are you going to start playing with us now?

[Desode]

Yes, I will be playing with you guys.
But my Brand new Bop ps3 disk is messed up and it won't let me do mission 4 , it just freezes my ps3, so I'm trying to figure out another way to get SIM unlocked. Any Ideas ? Does it unlock if I play through the arcade campaign ? Thats what I'm trying to do right now.
I wanted to play some onle Sim tonite ! Damn it !.

I called a couple game places to see if they had another copy because I was going to drop anoth $40 ! but they don't have it for the ps3, I'm going to check walmarts tommorow.

Hi,

I have the X52, but even with the patch, the game doesn't seem to recognise it. Setting the controller to any of the other sticks also seems to get no response from the X52. Any tricks to getting it to work?

Thanks!

Hmm, when you are at layout menu make sure to go all the way to the right till Custom (pc Joystick) is highlighted.
I made the mistake of going right to custom at the start and not Custom (pc joystick). Make sure your controller is turned off, before you start the game.

Now when you start the game the center fire button under the Safe shield is the x button and the one to the right of it is the back button.

Once you set it to custom (pc Joystick) in the layout settings then the front main trigger is the x button and the button under the safe shield is back button. Now you can have the ps3 controller on and use it to go through the button config list and then set you controls to what ever you want and save but when your done you have to exit the game. Turn off the ps3 controller and then start the game and use just the stick, If you don't do this it messes up the throttle control. and the throttle won't respond.

Got it ?
