After a bit of play this mod works great! all the buttons you really need within reach on a controller you can hold in your lap

Good work. I might well try this, at £30 these sticks are cheap enough for me to void the warranty.

I'm going to add another small button to relocate the map function later this weekend. I'll add info on wiring that later.

Hope this helps,
Rev

thats soo cool!

hey, is it possible to move the POV to the base?
say I got an old XBOX controller, would you be able to use one of its thumsticks and use that as a 'look around' on the aviator?

Nice job Rev!

How hard do you think it would be to take a better PC stick and change out the board with an Aviator board? That way you could have a better stick and throttle combo with Xbox compatability. I was thinking of tackling that if the game is as good as it seems.

I would think the only real challenge would be figuring out any power issues.

Awesome mod to the Av8R.
Could you repost the pics with the wiring specifics?
I can only open the purple wire image and am dying to do this to my Saitek.
