My AV8R-02 arrived and it is far better than the gamepad despite the criticsms of the 'dead zone' which quite frankly isn't as bad as some would have you believe. Having the rudder and throttle separated is the biggest bonus along with the top hat button enabling intuitive panning. The rudder sensitivy is very good and responds well to slight movements of the stick. I have always used a Joystick on my PC based Combat Sims and tend to fly mostly in SIM mode on BOP but it also perform extremely well in Realistic mode. I use a 40% sensitivity setting and I would recommend one if you are struggling with the gamepad which I found frustrating and poor in comparison......gets the thumbs up from me, not the most rugged of designs but does the job far better!
