Yet another kid who thinks his opinion is fact. Oh well.

I have to say that I disagree with that. I have both the AV8R and the Hori Ace Edge and the deadzone is much smaller in the Ace Edge. Don't know how or why, but it just is

It was me that made this statement about HAWX (as I own the title). The offical patch notes for the game state that there was issues with the deadzone on all versions and that UBI did indeed fix the issue specifically. I dont know actually how they did this, as I dont know much about coding for 360 specifically but it was done.

In the 1.0 version I was never able to get level flight in game, I always was climbing or diving slightly no matter how gently I moved the pad due to the huge deadzone. In the updated version (1.2 iirc) I am able to get stable level flight now by a gentle push on the pad.
