Hi, welcome to the forum.

I hope for the same as well. I don't think getting a 'used' Ace Edge for $200+ isn't woth it. An IL2 themed flight stick would be neat, but since the publisher tried to get rid of them, it might not happen.

So due to Antons comments could there be potential for some well know PC ones to work on the 360?

I think not, because there's the problem with the steering wheels too. In acc. to Thomas Jackermeier from Fanatec (company which makes steering wheels for PC, PS3 and XBox360), there's another electronic in it than for the PC compatible ones, which are in the majority of cases also compatible to the PS3. All wheels for the PC, instead of the new PWTS, aren't compatible with the XBox360, but a lot of them are compatible for the PS3 too. So it could be possible, that some FFB flight sticks for the PC are compatible for the PS3 too.

Deshalb ist das PWTS übrigens deutlich teurer als das GT3RS.

Found here

PWTS = Porsche Wheel Turbo S

He said (translated from german to english):
The electronics of the PWTS is doubled. At starting the wheel, you have to decide, whether starting the XBox360 electronics or the PC/PS3 electronics of the wheel. Therefore is the PWTS more expensive than the Fanatec Porsche GT3 RS Wheel.

Well what other sticks could Anton be talking about? If there's only 2 on the 360. Maybe there's one in the works? Cant see it myself for this game. Maybe its more for the PS3 guys oh well I'll grab a aviator if nothing comes of it

Just keep in mind...

Though it is currently the best option on 360...


Most of the control options you see on the throttle side are dummies or duplicates.


Neither dial functions, there is little nub that is a duplicate d-pad, one of the switches on the thumb side is fake, another is a 3 way switch that toggles between Mic On-Off-On, and the index finger hat switch is all left stick click (regardless of the direction moved).


It's appearance definitely leads to believing that it is a much nicer controller than it actually is.

its for consoles , there would be no need to make the controller even more expensive

they are using the shell from saiteks old factory to produce them

the controller is GREAT for the consoles , but i agree MS should make a first party stick
