Me too now

If i had to choose a stick right now, i would pick the AV8R because you can check 6 without target camera. Its rudder sounds like a pain though.

I would much prefer a TM hotas, as they feel great, but whats that on my 6?? I can only hear it...

wait you guys can't check your six on a hotas? i use the thumb and button on the throttle simultaneously to do that. it is pretty intuitive for me. i have it set on thrustmaster 2.

I played for a few days on AV8R on PS3 - but the rudder is so "on/off" it's useless.

So I play online with gamepad for now - it makes my flying in general pretty bad - but once I get behind an enemy I find having better rudder control gives me a few more kills.

I'm thinking about the thrustmaster now - but I think I'm gonna wait to see if Anton has more news on sticks.

The what button? The only way I know to view behind you at the moment is if you are in arcade or realistic and can select a target that is behind you, and then use the target camera, or be in the external view mode and press down on the hatswitch, which is not very useful for people who tend to play solely in cockpit view.

I'd like to hear what Anton has to announce about the ps3 sticks as well...
I wish there was simply a button/axes assignment option, I could then simply go on using my old Saitek X 45 (which would work well if the rudder was assigned to something...).
Otherwise I'd probably go for the hotas X or the aviator, but for that I need to hear how their respective flaws are going to be fixed (they'd better be fixed because the rudder, looking around or braking problems are pretty serious, and the gamepad doesn't feel like a serious option to me...).
So, please let us know asap Anton

Dude could you be more specific and confirm this statement - if correct it could solve the only (but very serious) flaw in the T.Master?
