This may be odd to some but I actually play the pc game with a 360 controller using xpadder and here is what I found to work the best for me.
Left stick- control surfaces
right stick- free look
triggers- rudder
bumpers- throttle
A- guns
B- bombs
X- rockets
click left stick to zoom
Y- flaps
back button- map
Anything else I missed could be mapped to the d-pad
The most important to me is having the right stick free look without having to click down on it and I like having the triggers as rudders because using the right stick for rudders just feels plain awkward. Also when playing multiplayer on sim mode I could see situational awareness being a problem when constantly having to click down on the right stick.
Does anyone else feel the same way about the controls?

I feel exactly as frustrated with the free look as you do. The control scheme you listed above is almost exactly what I use on Over G Fighters. d-pad for landing gear, triggers for rudders, bumpers for throttle, etc. The ability to look around freely with out the hassle of having to hold down a buttle is crucial in a dogfight. If real pilots can just turn their heads, why should we have to hold down a button to look around? Even Battlefield 1943, they made the mistake of having to hold down the LB in order to look around, and when looking around you lost control of the aircraft......ridiculous.
I do hope they add customizations to the control schemes....not just normal, south paw etc.......I mean give us the choice to choose which button does what just like a PC game profiler.
