Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what kind of flight stick setup you are using on a PS3 for this game?

I looks great & i will be getting it, i think i am right in saying it is more sim like than arcade like (which i hope is the case!)

Any names/brands/links to flight sticks for the PS3 would be greatly appreciated !

Many thanks in advance,
Blurrry

The two thrustmaster ones are your best bet. I got the cheaper $30 one and it works great for this game.

It looks like its a seperate units. Is the one just a throttle controll ?

Awesome TYVM!

I had an older saitek set, the die cast metal one, modelled off the actual F16 flight controls, i loved it, but sold it after i played through all my flight sims.

Thanks again,

Waiting on Anton's PS3 flight stick announcement since Thursday, that will help make a better decision...

i have the HOTAS X stick, and i dont use it. the hat switch is poor, control is jerky, and its bloody uncomfortable , i get neck ache when using it ( no im not simulating g-forces) but i have to sit , back straight, leaning slighly forward and looking up at my wall mounted telly.
having a great time with the controller now.

I use the hotas x and it works like a charm. Only complaint i have about it is the 4-way hat-switch. I dont know if its an issue with the stick of if a game update could fix that..?

i got the T master HOTAS X, i like playing the game with it,but the deadzone is crap...hatswitch issues i can live with,but making small adjustments with the stick is hard to do!
