Well I made those first comments to you after only using it for a little while...initially it appears to be a nice stick and a great deal BUT once you grind out some hours in the trenches with it you soon realize YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

You wouldnt buy the cheap ice cream, pie, or cake, soooo why scrimp on this delictible desert called Birds of Prey? Spend the cash and get the best flightstick you can!

I got one yesterday, I agree the twist is a little tight but I bet after a break in period it won't be a big deal. It was a hell of a lot cheaper than my X-52 Pro so I wasn't expecting ultra high quality.

Honestly I'm not that keen on the ace combat one after trying it out today. And for the price defo not worth it. I'd much rather get a cheap stick and just hold off for another stick to come on the market, which is bound to happen at some point.

I'm thinking about ordering one of these within the next few days.

My only question is: What is your opinon on the camera stick?

It's a whole lot better than clicking in the right stick.

Overall it's smooth and easy to use but my hat switch use has been crippled by using TrackIR so long on the PC.

My AV8R arrived yesterday and it really is MUCH better than the gamepad. As previously pointed out it does have some ergonomic issues for extended play sessions, but for the price it really isn't too shabby. I have a line on an ACE EDGE for $100 and am debating on pulling the trigger or waiting a little longer to see if there is any announcement (HINT HINT ) about a new flightsick and or bundle for Birds of Prey.

Is it a bundle w/ Ace Combat 6? No need to answer - I won't start a bidding war
