Super Forum Thanks/Aviator joystick explained

[PedroTheGoat]

Alright, this is the Goat's first post... And unfortunately it is going to be another joystick thread.

The reason why I want to post this is because there is a lot of misinformation about the Av8r - 02 for Xbox 360. I also need to thank a lot of forum members for making this Goat VERY happy and informed.

First... Here is the button mapping for the Av8r 02 for Xbox 360.

This is only for simulation mode because that is all I play.

Trigger: Guns
X= Bombs (Which we will not see until the release of the full game of course)
B = Rockets
Y = Flaps
LB = Map
LSB = Zoom
Back = Gear
The stick under the Xbox Light = Wingman commands
RSB = Change View
RB = Trim

By the way... I need to do away with a rumor on these forums:
On the Xbox 360 AV8R 02... THE RUDDER IS ANALOG

Please do not argue that fact. I've been playing for hours and the rudder is in fact analog. I believe the Av8r for PS3 may have issues. But not the one for 360.

My impressions from the AV8R... WONDERFUL flight stick. MODS are required to make the stick comfortable and more usable. Only thing I dislike... Of course the lack of a wheelbrake. I imagine this will be fixed by the time to full game releases. I also am not fond of the zoom placement. But it's usable. Everything else is absolutely wonderful. Works very well in your lap. It is a great alternative to the Hori and the Ace Edge if you don't want to rig up anything for the use of a separate throttle control.

TWO MUST HAVE MODS FOR THE AV8R.

First... The zipties around the springs are a must if you want better control. It helps alleviate problems with the deadzone too.

Second... Go buy a tennis grip to wrap the controller with. This is also a must.

(THANK YOU REVEREND AND OTHERS FOR PREVIOUS THREADS showing off how to do these mods)

Here are some pics... Even though they have been posted before.





And if you're SUPER awesome... Which I am not. Then you can do Reverend's button mod that he has posted in a previous thread. Requires a bit too much technical expertise for me.


Finally... I want to thank all of the awesome senior forum members for all of the info I have learned. You guys know your stuff!!! I was not familiar with WW2 planes before coming to these forums. Reading posts from people like Soviet Ace have really opened my eyes as far as WW2 aviation and knowledge goes.

Finally a semi realistic sim comes to console... This makes for a VERY happy Goat. I really never thought that a game like this was going to come. Thank you all for the great info!!!!!!!
