Flightstick- improve control or just "experience"..

[Ju-87]

The Aviator works just fine. I think it's only real flaws are somewhat poor ergonomics and lack of vibration.

I have used it for AC6 and HAWX. It's a bit harder to make small, precise movements with it than the gamepad (probably because those games have pretty "high sensitivity" controls/gameplay to start with), but it makes up for it by being far more intuitive, especially in HAWX where the original controls IMO are a bit awkward.

I just hope IL-2 BoP will feature alternate control schemes/mappings so you can make the most out of your controller/joystick of choice.

A flight stick should make flying easier. Put it this way, a control column on a Spitfire is about 2 feet long, a joystick can be about 10 inches long and a analogue stick on a controller is about and inch at best.

You have to dumb down the travel on the controller to cover what was originally done by a 2ft long stick. This means you have less space for the analogue stick's deflection. A joystick is a happy medium. If this game is done properly, in realistic mode is should be close to impossible to fly a plane with an analogue stick on a controller unless you make the very gentlist of movements.
