Well, the demo's not out yet, and i think ill end up having to go to work before it does. So for you lucky SOB's that get to try it before i do, and you also own the Thrustmaster HOTAS, would you kindly post the controls here when you get a minute? Thanks!

controls shouldn't be that hard... heck, even got my T-flight hotas to semi-work with BF1943 after some creative use of button mapping...

Ya... i work a ten hour shift and get off at 1 am though... so i'd like to spend as little time as possible trying to figure them out tonite.

will post a correction sheet here, if at all neccesary. It has already been confirmed that birds of prey is compatible with this joystick, so corrections might not be needed at all...

Could be. i downloaded the hawx demo to try out the stick, and some of the buttons didnt match up with the ones displayed on screen, had to use the cheat sheet that comes with the stick. Thanks in advance!

the demo already has the stick configuration set up, at the beginning you can choose between a gamepad, the aviator stick, and two different thrustmaster configurations. both the thrustmaster configurations work properly, but there are some differences which I haven't really looked at yet. what I can say is that for me the game plays best when turning the knob under stick all the way loose, and setting the ingame sensitivity 4 clicks short of maximum.

I don't really want to spend much on a ps3 flight stick. I am thinking of getting the T-Flight Stick X from Thrustmaster.

Anybody tried the demo with the T-flight Hotas PS3 Stick yet? I just want to make sure it works well. I tried the demo with the gamepad and I can't stand it. Must get a stick. Unfortunately my old Saitek Cyborg Evo Pro didn't quite work (came close though).

well, got the demo and just finished it on arcade.

Can't really fly the realistic or simulator modes cause I don't have a stick!

How popular is this game going to get unless people play it with sticks because it is awful with the gamepad! I can't see a lot of console gamers rushing out to get sticks for this game. What do you guys think?

The console seems too sensitive for flying. A lot of jerkey overshooting.

Right after I post this I am ordering a stick!

T-flight HOTAS works great! I haven't figured out how to use wingman commands with it yet, but I haven't really tried, either. It's quite comfortable and the buttons are all easy to reach. I like having the rudder paddles on the throttle, and the hatswitch works well enough (though I'm not sure you can peek over your shoulder, unless there's a button combination I'm not aware of). For $50, it's a steal.
