Picked up an X-Box 360 Kinect last week (GF wanted one - who was I to argue!). Looks like there are only a few products to choose from: Saitek PS41 Aviator MadCatz Cyborg FLY9 Hori Flight Stick (if you can find one?) If I've missed any - please educate me and I'm looking for opinions (on the above) as this a totally new area for me. Thanks in advance for any assistance! Regards, J. P. Kelly

I've only had the Aviator, but it goes like this:
1-The Ace Edge is the best, but hard to find and pricey if you do.
2-Next would be the Cyborg, which is wireless IIRC. Magnum did a review of it last year I think.
3-The Aviator is POS and oftentimes you'd be better off with a 360 controller IMO. Better with some games than others, due to the terrible button layout, but the build quality is just plain lousy.
None work right with Over G, but they will with IL2, Apache, AC6, HAWX etc.

Ace Edge is a Modified Re-Branded Saitek X45, is prolly the Best 360 Flight Stick, and Works on PC! OverG has Weird configuration settings that dont allow it to work correctly Ace Edge can be found on Ebay for $199 "Buy It Now" or $39.99 Starting Bid (6 Days remaining.)

Over G had an excellent controller configuration, I prefer the ability to use triggers for yaw and to set the throttle with bumpers--you could set it and leave it. I wish they had all followed OGF like that. Unfortunately it pre-dated the others so the throttle and yaw controls are backwards on the flight sticks.
The Aviator does have a switch to remap and it will work with Blazing Angels, which has a very odd set up. Wish they had customized for OGF instead.
