Okay, I feel like a dummy. How do you control trim on the Ace Edge stick? In the menu, is says the "A" button. Obviously, it can't be that because "A" is the trigger.

Would an Ace Edge work on both xbox and ps3? I've heard both both yes and no. More importantly is there no where to buy one without AC6 for xbox??

I would like an answer to this aswell! Where is the trim button on sim mode?

I explained this before,, the ace combat 6 programers made the dead zone there on purpose to not give the flight stick users a edge over the controller gamers.

I don't like the look of it either , but Thank God I have it because Anton was right it is AMAZING with this game. Ever bit as good as my X 52 Pro.

I even made a video showing the Ace edge has no deazone due to its construction, its the programers job. Digg around on this forum if you want to see it, I posted it here a while ago to explain this whole situation to people.

Why in the hell would they do that? What is the damn point of buying that stick for Ace Combat if they purposely program deadzone in the game to make the control suck?

I swear, some of these developers need their heads checked if that is true. Seems to me that giving the player responsive control is the goal - programming it out is stupid beyond belief.

It helps for people using the regular controller. Those sticks are small, and the ratio of movement is equally small. That deadzone keeps the stick from being unmanageable with the slightest little movement.

Now you put that to a flightstick. Think of how much more movement there is in getting a flightstick from center to edge. What was actually a tiny little deadzone now covers a far greater area of movement.


I can understand it being there, but in a game where flightsticks are going to be common, I can't understand why there is no adjustment for it.
