Hello, welcome to the forums.
No the Saitek wheel for FS will not work on consoles, however Giants is looking at the possibilities of bringing it to the consoles in the future.

This doesnt have to do with the heading here, but i was looking to buy/order the Side Panel from Saitek but i have been getting mixed feelings about. some people say its worth it and others say no it isnt worth it. i cant take much more of using my mouse to work the wheel loaders and telehandlers, lol. so painfully slow. i think the Side Panel would really help. What are your thoughts? temptation is starting to get the better half of me now lol. i would welcome any input you all have. Thanks!!!

IF you want something to control wheel loaders and telehandlers, look at the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick - cost is only $30-35 at Bestbuy. Plug it in and setup your controls. I use 2 of them for Forestry or 1 when doing agriculture. I have it setup so that pushing forward on the joystick raises the boom, pulling backward lowers the boom, pushing left on the joystick curls the bucket, and pushing right dumps the bucket. For a telehandler, the same applies as wheel loader except I use the joystick twisting to left or right to extend the boom.

I have the Saitec side panel and I absolutly love it. I can use it in a lot of my other simulation games and use all the buttons and the stick. I also use it as the secondary joystick for some of the forestry mods in FS15 that work alot better with 2 joysticks. Still a tad bit pricy for what it is, but like I said I love it.

The sticks and pads on the wheel actually is pretty close to an xbox controller ...
As you also get the two buttons on the back of the wheel ...
