Well I'm only going on what other people have said. Versapak has said that the AV8R-02 for the 360 has the throttle and rudder as the analog triggers.

Maybe the PS3's AV8R-03 is different and its problem is how I discribed in my first post in this thread.

I just got the Aviator today and haven't had any problems at all with it so far. the rudder control works great for me and I didn't have to change a single setting, just plug and play. I'm on the 360 (demo only at the moment, damn release delay in Aus )

Looks like im going to have to shell out £35 for a new stick as my pc based ones will not work on the 360.

I picked up a Hotas in the UK from Argos for £25. Its a huge improvement on the playstation pad. I would like to know though , how on earth do you bring the plane to a halt on a short runway, with a pad you throttle back and it slows down, but it takes 3 times longer to stop with the Hotas. Can I do anything about this?

There is no brake for the flight sticks hopefully the devs can fix this.

Patiently waiting on Anton's PS3 flight stick announcement...

I noticed it in the demo that there was NO graphic for any of the sticks you supported. None with the diagram of the controller and the indication of which button does what in the control menu. But its ALSO not there in the final game? Its just the background with the darkened centre, and the words thrustmaster 1 or thrustmaster 2 on the bottom of the selection part. whereas if you scroll back to the ps3 controller it has the ps3 controller and the corrolating buttons to that diagram. Will you guys update this or is it Blank intentionally?

Most likely the devs ran out of time before publisher/marketing demanded release, typical.

yea, i noticed this too. i usually throttle down, turn, and bring my stick back ( pitch up ) when it slows to 170-100.
