Nice, so can we take it this is also what's being addressed in the xbox patch (apart from the obvious ps3 bits) and do you know if/when it will be submitted to ms?

LOL tip:

If you die with combat flaps engaged, raise them as soon as you respawn before you dive, else they will insta-jam

The B17 is very hard to down now - it's going to walk over strike matches even more. Rockets still work on them though >:]

So the Würger wasn't touched at all?

it feels like they did fix it a bit on the turns and speed, I like how it takes longer for you to black out compared to other fighters, those german seats work lol

"Partially support of PC flight sticks was added"

Can you expand on this? Which Flight Sticks are supported? I'm specifically interested in the MS Sidewinder 2.

I don't get this - it seems ridiculously easy to blackout in the Spitfire when trying to turn with a 109... I thought blackout/redout was a property of physical forces on the pilot. How does the plane affect this? Shouldn't the same force cause an effect at the same threshold no matter what the plane?

Maybe I need to find a slower plane (as I'm still using the old aviator layout, which is either WEP, 55% or 0% throttle)...?

I was playing CTA and went into a dive, lowered my landing gear and lowered my flaps to landing, and then it said flaps jammed...

The P47 got reworked too, it now flies like a fighter/bomber. I only flew the FW190 A5 last night, I noticed it does handle better, the roll rate is a lot better than some other fighters in the game now.

I used to laugh at the Flak guns.

But now, they are a threat, Especially when flying low over them in a Bomber, But even Fighters can be damaged easily.

I'm very happy that the P-51 D isn't a Pig anymore though.
