I was hoping that I would be able to use my Saitek Cyborg Evo for this (tried it with the Thrustmaster setup, but some controls are in the wrong place making it un-unsable at the mo). I don't think they will have any more configs or options to setup other joysticks on initial release, and not even sure if they have the intention to fix this at a later date so decided to go buy a new one, and based on other comments on this forum it seemed to be a choice between the Saitek Aviator and the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X, for those in my price range.
I went for the Thrustmaster mainly as I preferred it in most aspects, mainly looks & features, but also particularly the fact that you have the option to yaw by twisting the stick (as with the Aviator) but also with the rocker underneath the throttle, the only downside being that the hat switch is not analogue but I expect I will mostly play in realism mode so wont be too much of a bother (my existing cyborg is the same anyways), and even if I do play in sim mode I would hope that they would patch it so you can make use of all 8 positions on the hat switch.
Still waiting for the joystick to come into stock, but was just over £30 (after delivery charges in the uk) at dabs, so not too bad.
