Yeah you can pick up the aviator now for £29.99 which will tide you over till something better comes out. Its a great stick and IMO is pretty much on par with the ace in quality terms...however neither is worth more then £40 so dont pay over the odds.

Bottom line.... any stick is a huge improvement over the game pad. Hopefully with a couple of new flight titles out some other company will produce a superior stick to the current offerings.

Yeah, got one of those on the way myself.

After using both the aviator is the way to go IMO. The ace may have better throttle control but the extra cost is definitely not even close to worth it, I'm just looking at both as a stop gap and for that reason the aviator is the better choice for me...I also found stick movement more precise on aviator - although I only got to try a second hand ace.

That's good to hear but it's a pretty moot point for me anyway as there are none of the Hori ones available to me for even remotely sensible money.

Any advice on ground targets?

Is there a certain elevation you have to drop to before you can see the muzzle flashes? Seems like they don't show up above a couple thousand feet.
