Will there be an update to swap stick control in xbox360?(right stick with aileron/pitch, left stick engine/rudder) I am very used to fly rc planes for more than ten years and can't fly with birds of prey. Please release this update, i have hired the game but I will not buy it because this reason

Swapping sticks alone will not do the job. How will you adjust trim when steering with the right stick?

This still isnt the perfect control layout!

The best is what Over G has! left stick pitch & roll, rudders on triggers, throttle on shoulder buttons, right stick for looking around (not having to click) and trigger any button you want probably A.

I've got the same problem with the controls, having been flying RC planes for years i am used to the throttle on the left. Also in other genres like FPS's i am used to using the right stick for pitch/looking up and down. I shall persevere with it though as i might well get used to it, i just hope when I take my model plane out i remember the controls are different again.

if you can't cope with the controls I'm afraid you are a Y-chromosome cleche..;)

I am not sure if I am a Y-chromosome but when you fly instinctively without thinking what is seared into your brain it is not easy change, at the end if I must choose,
I will going on with my RC planes and PC-IL2_1946 and not with Xbox360-Birds of Prey.
Those derogatory comments are out of place

how about.... buy a joystick? they arent expensive.

yep this is true.
i swapped the sticks around on a mappable ps3 controller, but really it gets a bit move involved as you need to have buttons over on the other side of controller for it to really work. it is doable with a mapable controller...but i have reverted to left stick again now.

I just wanted an easy substitute to the computer in the living room television, if I have to buy a joystick, take place at the table ... I find it easier to play on the computer

I use the joystick from my couch with a book on my lap as support.

I was one of the first to moan about the sticks when the demo came out. Then I plugged my Xbox controller into my PC and played IL2 for a week or two using the left stick to control the aircraft. After a few days it became second nature and now I don't mind it at all, you do get used to it ( and I've flown RC aircraft for years using the opposite sticks). I kind of like it the way it is now so I can access flaps, map and targeting etc while still having full control of my aircraft.

You do get used to it, and it becomes second nature very quickly.

[EvilMoomin]

It felt weird playing this at first, kind of like writing my name with my left hand (i am right handed), but after a couple of hours its not an issue any more, so i won't be buying a joystick now.

[carlitron]

The game that I rented, is in the shop again, I don't go to buy it. I will check it again some months later if there is some updates.
Thanks all you by your responses.

I second that! Over G Fighters got a perfect control layout for console. Sure, flight sticks aren't that expensive and it adds to realism, but is a control re-map option really that hard to implement? In all honesty: how many of you actually look around the plane when flying as you do in other flight sims? (assuming your NOT using a stick) I dont, which is a shame since the scenario graphics is excellent! Im my opinion the controller layout is the only real draw back of IL-2...
