Not cheap, but if it worked with OGF I'd consider it. Can't remap enough of the controls to do that, unfortunately.

Xbox doesn't have enough flight controls IMO to justify that type of Hotas... If it was more open like MS10 or Blackshark then sure, just can't see it happening.

I like the idea, that people want to fly realistically even on an Xbox, but putting rotation axes on their for 'decoration'? Eww.

There's not a single game out there that'd make it worth the money.

Come on Leemz, wouldn't that be nice for BF3. I know it would come in handy when I barrel headlong in the side of a mountain.

IL-2: Birds of Prey is pretty good, for a console sim. Same with the recent Apache game. I'm pretty sure all of the small list of flying games starting from Ace Combat 6 and newer work with the xbox360 flight sticks. I'm not sure about BF3. What happens when you are not in the aircraft?

I agree Raw K, I wish these newer flight sticks worked with Over G. I've even considered modding a controller with an old PC stick or HOTAS to work for it, but couldn't see it happening with the way the controls are set up. Sad thing is, it probably wouldn't take much for the developer to add support for the ACE Edge or Avi8r in an update, but that game is wayy too old and such a small fan base to expect that anymore. frown

Looks great for IL2, I haven't played that in a while.

Would this work for PC? I have another 360 flight stick and the bastage just never maps properly for fsx.
