Default PS3 + Thrustmaster HOTAS _ OMG, its 2am!

Big thank you to Anton and the rest of the team awesome job, finished playing in sim mode at 2am this morning......

The Thrustmaster HOTAS works really well, you can use the small toggle on the stick to look around and with a bit of practice (remembering where the buttons in the heat of battle was a learning curve) on the throttle side you can call up the map, change view, pause and turn the rudder. Makes flying really realistic.

Note: Turn down the Aileron Elv and rudder by half this will help stop over flying your plane.

Yes the ground targets are difficult to spot, it took me two passes to work out where they were and loads more to shoot them!

Can't wait to finish work and go home to play this fantastic game, haven't been this excited since GT5p came out!

Phil

Hey can you post what buttons do what on both setups?

And the button on the throttle that controls yaw, does the stick have the yaw function at the same time?
