Bluetooth Flight Controls?

About 5 months ago I moved my gaming/media PC to the entertainment center. It's connected to my 56" HDTV, which makes gaming incredible using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

My only problem is when playing LOMAC or IL-2 I have to drag my old X-45 flight controls out... which keeps me uncomfortably close to the T.V.

I've been searching for a while, but haven't been able to find a bluetooth stick and rudder combo, anybody had any luck or know of anything soon to be out? I know I can't be the only one needing this type of setup.

Re: Bluetooth Flight Controls?

Hi Quarkmachine!

The only wireless game controllers i know (and have) are the cordless rumblepad from logitech and the wingman freedom 2.4.

But those are "wireless" and not bluetooth, so they don't have the range we get with our bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

What about using a usb-extension? USB-hub with long cable?

Greetings

Dru
