It's an extra challenge to know how far you can take the airplane without stalling.

But I agree with you unreservedly that full customisation for all should be standard (which we'll see in BoS - Anton has confirmed this on the devs forum), and that a stall buffet would be a good thing to have. Although I must say that with custom control on the PS3, an approaching accellerated stall can be quite well recognized and countered as it is, in full sensitivity.

Yes, sorry mac, I said that bit about skill wrong. Of course it takes a lot of skill to fly full sens with the pad. I meant that the skill of having a thumb that is super acurate to 1mm should not be a requirement to fly at the highest difficulty when others are using big flightsticks. I see it more as a gaming skill than a flight skill, If you know what I mean.
