no brakes with stick, HUUUGE deadzone with Xbox stick

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.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will also wait for BOS to be released before going for flight stick.
How do flight sticks get passed the quality control phase when there is no way to brake, it's not exactly a minor control or is it that BOP's configuration is wrong?

It is the fault of the game, not the flightstick.

for Birds of Steel, i need, and i mean NEED stratigic bombing of germany, just a mission as an escort for B-17s. Also the Lancaster needs to be in there, as well as the Mosquito (if you havent been able to tell that im a sucker for heavy bombers). Also i'd like to see some better graphics and mechanics, like when you crash or when you bail out, but BoP really did a good job with crashing in water so that doesnt really need to be fixed. And some GOOD SERVERS that get patched when needed with some new game types. As for the pacific theater i cant say much other than to say im excited to see what they can do with it, but definatly some sensibly torpedo mechanics. thats about all i want and i REALLY hoping they do good with this game.

Cool rig but the input seemed laggy. Might just be deadzone. Thought for sure he would be using rudder pedals, but his feet never moved.

I also noticed there was no damage model in this build of the game.

Still the game will be awesome.

I noticed the same things. The wings showed some damage, but not anywhere close to what BoP had. Plus it never showed the plane crashing/exploding, just cut to a picture of a battleship.

it looks like the seat is fitted with hori controls same as an ace edge .it looks like he is working the rudder switch with his left hand .its a paddle switch at the rear of the throttle.
