PS3 Thrustmaster controls

[Irishmandkg]

I don't really want to spend much on a ps3 flight stick. I am thinking of getting the T-Flight Stick X from Thrustmaster.

Anybody tried the demo with the T-flight Hotas PS3 Stick yet? I just want to make sure it works well. I tried the demo with the gamepad and I can't stand it. Must get a stick. Unfortunately my old Saitek Cyborg Evo Pro didn't quite work (came close though).

well, got the demo and just finished it on arcade.

Can't really fly the realistic or simulator modes cause I don't have a stick!

How popular is this game going to get unless people play it with sticks because it is awful with the gamepad! I can't see a lot of console gamers rushing out to get sticks for this game. What do you guys think?

The console seems too sensitive for flying. A lot of jerkey overshooting.

Right after I post this I am ordering a stick!

T-flight HOTAS works great! I haven't figured out how to use wingman commands with it yet, but I haven't really tried, either. It's quite comfortable and the buttons are all easy to reach. I like having the rudder paddles on the throttle, and the hatswitch works well enough (though I'm not sure you can peek over your shoulder, unless there's a button combination I'm not aware of). For $50, it's a steal.

I don't think the look-around function on the Thrustmaster works very well. Since the hat switch isn't analog you can only look up, down, left and right. I couldn't get it to look to the side and up, so there are blind spots at 3 and 9 o'clock high. Also, I could only look directly abeam to either side. There doesn't seem to be any way to look over your shoulder to check your 6.

Does anyone have the AV8R for PS3? I know the hat switch on it is analog. Are you able to look to 3 and 9 o'clock high or over your shoulder? For me this issue with the Thrustmaster is making me think I am going to return it and get the AV8R.

Hey this news is disappointing because I am going to buy one. I have the AV8R and the HAT switch works really good. You can look at 6:43 if you want

Total free movement.

I did it. I have both sticks so I can compare them on the PS3....

I can play it fine with gamepad in sim mode if I turn the sensitivity about half on the left stick. No problems shooting down bombers or fighters.

Still, I'll be getting a stick for sure.
