I may just have to rethink whether I'd buy this, now, since I think I'd enjoy it a bit better with this bit of kit:

I've playd the acecombat6 demo at work and the graphics are awsome....The plane is hard to control with the standard xbox 360 controller but that joystick looks mean!

Would it be a waste I think to invest in a Hotas for an arcade game like AC as the games features do not require the complexity of a Hotas. winkyy.gif But thats my opinion on AC perhaps its a good idea to try it out 1st before investing in a Hotas since the throttle range will have 0 influence on the aircrafts performance and all those extra buttons won't be required since you normally only require just a few buttons on a game pad to fly it. Maybe a decent HOTAS is better off being bought for your PC instead. Also consider what other games would you use a Hotas for on the Xbox and would they require such a device?

I'm sure that you could use this on the PC as well -- most Xbox 360 controllers are compatible.
I actually clicked through to this from the Avsim thread about the likelihood of moving FS to Xbox:)

You wouldnt really want microsoft moving fsx to xbox360 as they would have no repaints,addon scenery,addon aircraft etc. and they addons they would put on xbox would be costly with the microsoft points.

So has anyone got this game? I tried to hire it out yesterday but unavailable (already out). I have the demo and that seems pretty sweet.
