Any other flightstick options for the Xbox 360?

Wish there was some way to plug USB flightsticks into the 360. I have a Cougar and can't see spending more money on another HOTAS just for Xbox.

This confuses me. Xbox is M$ and pc's are M$ and they don't even give you this option. Stupid.

It's not really all that confusing. An Xbox is not a PC. You can stick any USB controller into an Xbox 360 for more or less exactly the same reasons you can't do so on a PS3.

Uh, yeah it is confusing.

My M$ Sidewinder Precision joystick works on my ps3. And I have used it to play Blazing Angels, and Hawx.

Could you spezify your joystick exactly and write the correct name? I'm very interested, if it could be compatible to BoP and the PS3!

The only thing that didn't work was the yaw (twist of the stick)

Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick

We know the Saitek AV8R will work which I also have, but not so sure about the T hotas.

It's because the PC joystick doesn't have software to run on a 360 operating system, only on a PC.

Same reason a program designed to work on Windows XP might not work on Windows Vista.

Also, if Microsoft DID make it possible for any USB device to work with a 360, you better believe people would be plugging in all sorts of cheating devices. Even using a USB mouse in COD4 or some other shooter would be an unfair advantage.
