I'd rather have the Ace Edge, but cost is a factor.

Aviator will work as well.
But actually, we DON'T use standard layout.
It will be wasting of a lot of potential possibilities.
We use special layout for both of this flightsticks.
Each one utilized 100%.
For example, on standard gamepad, we use triggers for shoot&lock target, right stick for rudder&throttle (2 axis), and you can look around while keep right stick pressed.
Of course, it is OK, but not perfect.
Good thing on flightsticks - that there is special button for Right Stick down, and each trigger (analogue) can be used as a separate axis - it can be used as a rudder and throttle SEPARATELY. That frees us right stick to make it able to use as observing stick, no need to keep something pressed.
Etc, etc.
So we made flightstick support as good as possible (better than in HAWX, for example).

anton will you guys be bundling your own version of the ACE edge with certian BOP boxes?

Or will gamers have to hunt down old ace combat sticks?

another question too

The observation stick on the ace edge ( the little tiny stick on top of the joystic )

Will the view be a snap view or a pan view? ( when you let go of it does the camera center back in place, or does the view remain at that angle?)

I hope you're telling me that the throttle will control the throttle and twist grip controls the rudder on the flight stick! And that hat for looking around?

I can say that I've used the 360 controller for the PC IL2 using Pinnacle game profiler to map the controls. I was able to set it up nicely, just used a shift button in there. Crammed a ton of controls in there that way.

Gotta say, flight games--using the regular controller--that use the right stick for throttle and rudder just never works out well. Hard to get used to. I'll take your word for it though, you've got it there in front of you. I don't plan on using the controller anyway, but I know most in my gaming group will be.

Will it be possible to change Control Schemes on the controller?

Because I would like to make the RB and LB my rudder controls. But if I can't, I'll just get used to it.

Nope.
But we spent a lot of time on controller settings, so it should be best possible for our game.

I like it the other way around where LB/RB is the rudder and the Triggers are the throttle.

Anton, can u tell us the xbox360 controller setup like which buttons do what?

Easily. But it requires some time from me.
But it will be soon on site, I guess.

The only thing I don't like about what your saying, that's the way Hawx is setup and it makes you fly at a certain speed. You can't put it up to 70% throttle and keep it there you would have to hold the trigger down to keep it at the 70% It's either full throttle or no throttle.
