OK can somebody advise me please.

I currently play BOP using 360 pad but have been thinking of purchasing a flight stick for full experience.
So my questions are.
1. Do I wait for BOS so control issues can be resolved.
2. Will a new flight stick be avaliable with BOS lauch.

1. Your decision. You allready know the cons of the stick in BoP. The pros being better look around control in sim, Throttle and Rudder being available at the same time as looking around, and it being more realistic controls for an aircraft.

2. For xbox? unlikely.

I too use a pad for BoP, but I will probably get an Saitek AV8R -02 for Birds of Steel after some feed back from people and if everything is working right. I'm not going to switch before then 'cos I don't want to break it on BoP before BoS comes out. The AV8R having a reputation for having rather fragile plastic rudder twist. But its so much cheaper than the Saitek cyborg fly 9 which gets faulty wiring, and the second hand only very expensive Hori Ace Edge. So I think the AV8R is the one I will get.
