Once you get used to flying and using the hat switch you won't want to go back.

Yeah last night it all started to gel alot more I feel like I am on the verge of really making the stick work for me. Its great, anyone reading this thread needs to get one if you haven't already, being able to use your rudder, throttle, and free look without inadvertently fouling one of those functions up is the only way to play, and I don't think the deadzone is all that bad, adjusting sensitivity to just the right zone helps me with that.

How much would you kill for the trim wheels on the throttle to actually work? Is there a snowball's chance in hell of them ever getting any functionality?

BTW in answer to the age old riddle: how do you play with your ace edge? (no obvious sexual innuendoes please) I skip the suction cup/velcro route all together and have found the best way is on a cushy couch with it between my legs and the base sitting down in the cushion under my legs a little bit; it holds it down steady, gives my wrists a good range of motion and also feels authentic to booot. I keep the throttle unattached and on my side, it works pretty well for me.
