Flightsticks for 360 players

Prowlinger · #1 08-31-2009, 07:59 PM

Sorry I know this has been asked bazillion times...

I cannot find any decent articles about WHAT joysticks are compatible with IL2 Birds of Prey...

I have even checked the local Walmarts, Gamestops and Bestbuys...

Does anyone sell a wireless flight stick that is recommended?

(It is sad when I have a PERFECTLY new MS Sidewinder Force Feedback USB Joystick... and the 360 won't even acknowledge it...

)

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Wireless I think you are out of luck there. I use the Saitek AV8R 02 and it seems alright, the other option seems to be the stick that was bundled with Ace Combat 6 and rare as rocking horse poo (and 3 times as expensive).

No way, Hori is alot better, just depends if you can find it cheap or willing to pay the price!

The Hori is definitely going to win the stick war. I have both sticks but I will always use the Hori and have gone to great lengths in the past to replace one. The Saitek stick is way too light, especially for BoP. The rudder rolls far too easily and can lead to some critical flight problems on realistic or simulator. But I will say that it can also be a matter of personal preference. Some people like a heavy stick, some people like a light stick. There's a lot of women like that too, you just can't ever tell. Try both sticks if you get a chance. You're SOL on a wireless stick. The wireless sticks for 360 are only stocked by very special stores on the shelf between unicorn testicles and the aforementioned rocking horse poo. They might make one someday, but don't hold your breath. You'll see Jesus before you see a wireless stick for the 360.
