I've been curious for a while what the stick in the middle of the console is for - anyone know?

Until a pro comes along .....

Looks to me like the FLIR stick.

Previous post is correct, it controls the FLIR turret.

Makes for a handy hand hold when you're not flying too.

That whole mirror image thing sucks when switching from right to left seat. As to the FLIR control in the center, other than being bored I haven't touched that thing to actually control the FLIR very often.
