It works pretty well after some adjustments. When it comes to in cockpit view and being able to look around everywhere, this is just about the most important aspect in flight combat. and the Hat doesn't enable you to do that smoothly from what I understand.
I haven't decided if I'm going to get the ps3 version, since I have a Ace edge for the 360 version. It works so great that, I'm now considering just getting the 360 ver only.

It depends on wether or not you plan on playing sim mode ?

If you aren't going to play in sim mode them get the Thrustmaster Hotas, if you are going to play in mostly sim mode then I personally recommend that thrustmaster fully programable controller. Thats just my opinion though.
Best of luck with your choice, DESODE

going to be playing on sim,veteren of all the il2 sims since the beginning.
i think i will hold off ordering a flight stick until im happy with other users reviews.
cockpit views are vital to me especially in mp.

Good decision........I foolishily bought the T.Master in a fit of excitement after reading Anton's recommendations in preparation for the demo. As granny would say before sucking her eggs - situational awareness is essential to have any hope in SIM mode and that CANNOT be achieved with my purchase..........let me know if you find a solution.
