Any other flightstick options for the Xbox 360?
I'm looking to pick up a flightstick really soon for my 360. I know that both the Saitek and the Ace Edge will both work with BOP but I have concerns about both....namely the cost of the Ace Edge and the quality and ergonomics of the Saitek. Other than those, I'm not aware of anything else that's available for the 360.
Anton, can you tell us if any other flightsticks will be available for the Xbox and Birds of Prey? If these are my only options, I'll probably go the Ace Edge route. I just don't want to drop $100 on a used flightstick only to find out that something new is coming available. |

I'd love to hear of some others coming out too. I've got the Aviator and the placement of the buttons on the front faceplate is just plain awkward. Good for lefties I guess, but either way one shoulder button and one stick button are going to be obscured by your hand/arm working the stick. Just not a great layout, although the rest is ok.

Ace Edge is better (in my opinion), but it is more expensive. |

does the rudder control on the ace edge map to the throttle thing underneath the handle? In otherwords all we have to do to control ALL thrust is move the slider up and down? |

It seems, that the Ace Edge flight stick for the XBox360 has a very large dead zone (digital?). I think, I buy the game for the PS3 by using the T-flight stick Hotas X from Thrustmaster.

Dammit, I want one of those! I've got the Aviator, but I'm afraid it's just going to frustrata the crap outta me with all we need to do with this game and limited buttons/access.
The one the PS3 can use needs to make it's way to the 360 as well, it looks pretty nice. Anton: have you guys had any new sticks to test for people with your game? Heard of any new ones on the way? I seem to collect these things, wouldn't mind adding another. Last edited by Raw Kryptonite; 06-24-2009 at 12:50 PM. |
