Flight Stick??

im curious to hear some feedback from anyone using the flightstick. Actually Im surprised no one has said anything thus far (unless I missed it).
I opted not to get the stick, but I still want to know.

JM

re: Flight Stick??

Boy this is going to take some getting use to.
It does really enhance your flying in terms of
giving you that real-feel of flying.I had a bit
of trouble at firsr due to the fact that I had
the darn thing plugged into the wrong port.

Practicing right now in free flight mode over
Bana City with the Hawk T.1.I think this is
really going to be worth having alot

re: Flight Stick??

Glad to hear that Mike. Mine should be arriving tomorrow!
Can't wait.
One quick question though..........
Do the bombs fly off the planes like in AC04 or more
realistically like in AECA?
Not that I'll be sending my copy back or anything!

The bombs fall off the aircraft like in AC04,
but do seem to pack a bigger punch this time
around.I am really going to have to do alot
of practicing with the flight controller to
really get the hang of handling it

re: Flight Stick??

Yeah. What I don't like is the rudder control. It's a bit over extended for me, and hard to reach over that akwardly phat throttle, though I manage somehow. You'll have to use the rudder a lot - I used it all the time in Ace 4 and use it just as much now. The flight stick seems overly sensitive in terms of trying the keep the aircraft straight and level. In other words trying to keep on zero flat without tilting left or right is a hassle, for me anyway, cuz the slightest movement of the stick, just a milimeter or two in any direction, sends the craft on a slight roll. Other than that, it's VERY cool. It doesn't have much vibration as the dualshock II does, but I noticed it does jitter when you first initiate the AB's. The hat stick also is sensitive, and I began using triangle to look around, though it works great for viewing stuff in aero elite. Still, it can be mastered with practice.

Overall, it's great. I went to a Namco arcade over a month ago, and they had this big rig set up for a game where you get to take off and land passenger aircraft on various Japan airports. Leave it to them to create such great accessories for the PS2.

EB Games guy told me that the stick would also be coming out seperatley, sometime next month (sounded like he was expecting it and it wasn't exactly confirmed), but it makes sense. Cost me 140+ $, but it was worth it. That squad patch got put on me jacket straight away after shipping.

re: Flight Stick??

Hi Hamilton,
When I first started with Ace Combat games, I went through the "Flight Stick" thing.
After weeks of searching and emailing manufacturers,I came up with this.
Flight sticks(the kind I think you are asking about) for AC4 and 5(PS2) are not being manufactured by anybody now, either in Japan, or the US.
I contacted Namco, and Hori, and they both told me the same story.
I even contacted Thrustmaster, and ask for information to modify their controller for PS2, but they refused to provide me with even a schematic, much less modification information.
The only way to get the flight sticks for these games,(including AC6), is to try and find someone that bought the flight sticks when they were for sale. That means Ebay, or something like that.
I did that, and paid an arm and a leg for the flight sticks.
But I'm afraid that is the only way to get them.
I hope I was of some help.
