hi all, i have now spent a short time trying out the ps3 demo and am hopeful some of you can help out with some answers to some questions

firstly - beautiful game !! really looking forward to the full release and the updates and support to follow

graphically the game is beautiful
i have both the av8tr stick and the hotas x and have played with the ps3 standard controller as well

some comments / questions

i bought the hotas as i did not like the throttles on the av8tr, and wanted a switch such as on hotas x throttle for turning option (rather than twist motion)

my av8tr was a pc stick about a yr old, and i had it set up for il2 pc toggles etc - any advice as to how i remap it? for ps3 birds of prey? do i do it on my pc - i cannot figure out - it goes to a cool 3/4 exterior view and an offset 3/4 view inside as well???

hotas x looks, unfortunately like it has limited scrolling or free view capability inside plane and out - can others confirm - any chance this can be improved?

the ps3 controller has the nicest view scrolling - smooth and much free er - you can look up and back behind you as you should be able to !! but the flight controls as mapped are not intuitive - so very hard to fly - i know there is mention of this elsewhere, and hopes it can be reset or customized down the road

so - can i remap my av8tr - and if so how please? i am assuming it at least will give me the nice free view panning i like - which i don't think my new hotas x will !!! doohh

also, what settings should my 'display' options for ps3 gaming on main system be set to? i have a good toshiba flat screen but there is ALOT of 'screen tearing and stutter - both in interior and exterior views

such a fantastic game - hopefully some of you can shed some light to make it even more enjoyable to play?? help to tweak controls and graphics ..... or i may have to go and buy an xbox !!!

sorry for the ramble -

regards, Ron
