PS3 Joysticks

[philabong2]

hi guys, 1st post here
I'd like to thank u guys for this forum- I bought the av8r-03 right after buying Bop since it was pretty much the only stick available in stores for ps3 in canada... and almost threw it out the window as soon as I tried it. Huge deazone, poor rudder control and no landing breaks makes phil a dull boy lol
So went through realistic missions with the control pad - had a blast - but i soon realized that the only way to play sim mode is with a stick (unless there a way to look around with the pad, is there?)

Some1 i played online with (i think his name was xxx-silence-xxx, thanks alot btw) suggested to use the thrustmaster layout with av8r on mode 1, and to come check out this forum. The config does help with the deadzone and rudder control, but screws up all the other controls layout, wich is the only advantage to using a stick imo (that and being able to look around)

then I came here and saw there was an update coming... so i decided to put the stick aside until the patch comes around instead of setting it on fire...meaning i'll prob only b playing realistic until then. I use it once in a while but its too frustrating so anybody knows when exacly is this dam update coming around: almost feel like a kid about to throw a fit in the toy isle here!!!!

so thanks again for the info
will b seeing you guys (hopefully b4 u c me) in the skies soon
cheers
