Come up with a way to market a stick with the game that won't allow the game to run without it, that is just like ALL WWII aircraft's sticks and you might be on to something.

Except for the fact that not every plane HAD the same stick (throw, length, control force at speeds, etc). So now you'll have to make a stick for EACH plane in the game and not let peopel fly them without buying your hardware.

Good luck with that.

A TM Cougar does not respond the same as a Saitek Cyborg, or CH Flight Stick, or M$ FF stick. They have different lengths, different throws, different weights, and different response curves as a result. What works for 1 will NOT work for the others in anything even close to the same way.

Oleg's sliders are brilliant, as is the translation of j/s travel to virtual pilot force. This combo is the onyl way to deal with the realities of the hardware market.

And even if that is removed, nothing stops me from designing my own curve in Foxy. Or from modding my stick physically to give me more control. But it will hurt the guys who don't have the means, or desire to go to those lengths.
Ummm I know that every aircraft isn't the same, but the models/type are. It is very arcadish to be able to have the sliders all the way up to 100 and every aircraft feels the same, practically. There can be a set profile for each. I'd even settle for an envelope so that it can't get too crazy.
No - you missed the point.

It's not just profiles for each aircraft. It's for each stick on the market. Different springs, different lengths, different throws, different pots, different gimbal designs, each one is different enough from the other that you can not cover all the possibilities on any reasonably budget or time frame.

Oleg did it right. Even if you don't like it.
