Flightstick Options

[Zensuji]

I saw Anton mention MS when talking about sticks in another post.......could there be a official MS stick on the way?

"We've worked directly with Saitek/Thrustmaster/MS to get all samples, and have done flightstick support on our own risk, to make sure the spirit of IL-2 will survive, and flighsim fans will be able to get pleasure from the game."

Here's the thing though. This game however much we are looking forward to it wont be seen by MS as a huge hit (at this stage at least) so I cant believe they'd be launching an official stick off the back of it. Which leads me to believe it may be some of the current MS PC sticks supported.

MS did make a standard for flight sticks on 360 though. If a game supports the Ace Edge, then it also supports the Saitek Aviator, and any other new flight stick that a company makes.

Having that standard makes it easy for a developer to support flight stick hardware, without having to depend on the user having a specific one.
