Taken from the new forum

Anton had stated on the 1C forum that the "twist" action for rudder movement on AV8R 03 for PS3 is digital and nothing can be done about it.

I contaced Saitek and they told me that in Mode 1 the twist is digital but in Mode 2 the twist is analog. But when you switch to Mode 2 the button layout changes and you can not play properly.

So is there anyway to remap the controls so we can play on Mode 2 so we can have the same option as the Xbox buys and get the rudder control in analog?

I know the update will have brake function and pc flight sticks updates but for the ones like myself that already have the AV8R, it is really hard to shoot and use rudder it just cannot be done.

Thank you for your time.
Thats right. after update you will be able to use AV8R with analog rudder on Mode 2.
But Saitek X52 is much better then AV8R in any case

For PS3 (after update) best choices are, doubtless, Saitek X-52 and AV8R-02 (not 03 - two more buttons and two more axes make difference). At least for me.
But we have more good news for all former (or current) PC-sim players - stay tuned.

Now I'm really confused. Isn't the AV8R 02 just for XBox?

What axis are you talking about that makes it difficult? We are just trying to figure out if this stick made for the ps3 and BOP is going to work correctly. The AV8R 02 has more buttons than the AV8R03

I knew I should of held on too my X52 when i gave up on pc gaming. I do have the older X45 still, but never liked it too much.

Hi guys,

I've been playing IL 2 BOP now for several days (on all levels, most of it on realistic). But i am evolving to the sim mode (allready finished battle of Brittain). Maybe I wanna buy a flight stick, so i've been checking those topics out but didn't get any satisfaction out of it.

My problem is I'm left handed so I want to know which sticks are useable with "my handicap"?

I"m on PS3, gamertag: Hekke

Aviator works for both... That is why its ergonomy could have been more userfriendly. Some buttons such as LB or RB are (depend if you are right or left handed) difficult to reach but the throlle is right in the middle

Hi guys, I'm new to these boards so bear with me.

I currently have the Logitech 3d force pro which I use to use on IL-2 for pc, it worked fine for me on there but its the only stick i ever used and I really don't know how good/bad it is since its the only one i used. And now over time its kinda worn out on me even with the force feedback on it has a big dead zone i guess you would call it, so now im looking for a new stick.

So I'm planning on upgrading once i start playing B.O.P, and figure ill get a Saitek joystick but am a little confused with my options, I see the one called X-52, and another one just called Saitek joystick (i guess these are the HOTAS models), they both look the same, just different colors, and am wondering if there's a big difference between the two besides the price.

So if someone can tell me the main differences between the 2 it would greatly be appreciated. If anyone knows the answer off the top of their heads, the cheaper stick is silver in color, and the more expensive is all black. The only difference i see in description is one is more programmable.

I cant figure out how to attach pictures here, so here are the links, and sorry for the long post!

Nevermind, i guess one is the regular X-52, and the other is the X-52 pro, futureshop website didnt show that, and most reviews I found didnt differentiate between the two. The pro seems to be built a little better all round.

The price difference is about $70, has anyone here used both and can tell me if the price of the pro is worth it?
