First of all, finally a proper flying game for the PS3, props to the devs! I used to fly with the original IL-2 on the PC with our squad (from WW2O) and always enjoyed the experience.
I know that is really hard to transfer a simulator to a console platform due to the more casual user base, however there is simulation mode in BoP so all is good under the blue sky!
I tried my old trustworthy MS Sidewinder stick today on the PS3 with partial success (I was amazed that even some of the controls worked), but I probably will buy the saitek aviator PS3 stick when the game releases.

1. Does the game uses the aviator's throttle correctly (didn't like the 55% throttle default with one of the control scheme)?

2. Is there a chance to fire the cannons separately from the MGs (as in the PC version)? I assume the ammo will be limited in the simulation mode, so it always nice to conserve the very limited cannon ammo for those "sure fire" shots.

Thx!

1)throttle on Av8r travels from 0 up to 100% at about 4/5ths of travel- last 1/5th is increasing degrees of WEP. so you start the level where your throttle is left at-

2)as for weapon selection, dunno...but I doubt it...maybe put this is suggestion to dev thread...
