Default Mode 1 / Mode 2 controls

Probably the biggest audience for this game is the radio control aircraft hobbyists who also own consoles.
For those who don’t know, rc aircraft transmitters are just fancy dual analogue controllers.

The developers have chosen to alienate 90% of them by applying mode 1 controls (throttle rudder right).
Unless you are over 60 years old you would not fly mode 1.
90%+ of flyers internationally including Europe US and Japan all prefer and chose mode 2 transmitters. This has now almost become the international standard. Which means throttle and rudder on LEFT stick and aileron and elevator on the RIGHT.

anyway besides , what sort of developer doesn’t implement at least basic customised controls. in this case allow you to swap the sticks,
how dam lazy is that, how careless, how selfish...

but it is stupid as soon as people play the demo and realise that the controls are NOT STANDARD to begin with and then NOT CUSTOMISABLE
then they just turn off.

even if you fix it in the full game or through an update, you have lost so many sales on something so simple to fix.

I am not a developer but I sure could do a better job on that. come on guys basics get the basics right.
