Hi, All first post.

I'm a veteran of Warbirds in the late 90s, and a true addict. In fact my internet ID was forever set by Warbirds as Ragged (like my flying). I welcome the potential arrival of a decent sim on a console and have ordered an xbox jsut to run it on.

Anyway on to sticks. The Edge is clearly based on the Saitex x36 stick plastics I have gathering dust on top of my wardrobe. Perhaps IL and Saitek could do a deal/bundle?

and what to use for ps3?

Right so it seems the aviator is my only choice for a new purchase. I just have the feeling that something else is in the pipe line but I very much doubt this game will be pushing any hardware companies into making a new stick. Weird that MS dont have something out.

Anyway thanks for all the answers.

Does anyone here own the Aviator? Thoughts?


Oh right just saw this from anton

"Details about joysticks are planned to be released soon, as community update.
Until that - I am not allowed to provide information, sorry.
Publisher already had moved some community updates few times, due to unknown reasons. Should be in a week."

Looks like I'll be holding off.

There is another answer from Anton found here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...41&postcount=9

Cheers mate, I'll hold off a week and see what anton says. I really just want to invest in the best at this point.

the best will be ca $240+ U.S.


however the aviator will better suit if you're a lefty or have a joint bank account

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I hope for the same as well. I don't think getting a 'used' Ace Edge for $200+ isn't woth it. An IL2 themed flight stick would be neat, but since the publisher tried to get rid of them, it might not happen.

So due to Antons comments could there be potential for some well know PC ones to work on the 360?

[Roadie]

I think not, because there's the problem with the steering wheels too. In acc. to Thomas Jackermeier from Fanatec (company which makes steering wheels for PC, PS3 and XBox360), there's another electronic in it than for the PC compatible ones, which are in the majority of cases also compatible to the PS3. All wheels for the PC, instead of the new PWTS, aren't compatible with the XBox360, but a lot of them are compatible for the PS3 too. So it could be possible, that some FFB flight sticks for the PC are compatible for the PS3 too.

Found here

PWTS = Porsche Wheel Turbo S

He said (translated from german to english):
The electronics of the PWTS is doubled. At starting the wheel, you have to decide, whether starting the XBox360 electronics or the PC/PS3 electronics of the wheel. Therefore is the PWTS more expensive than the Fanatec Porsche GT3 RS Wheel.

Well what other sticks could Anton be talking about? If there's only 2 on the 360. Maybe there's one in the works? Cant see it myself for this game. Maybe its more for the PS3 guys oh well I'll grab a aviator if nothing comes of it
