Just a request for SOW...

I don't think this as been ask before so here it goes.

Presently we only have one stick setup profile available in game. If someone want to change profile he has to drop of game, select a new profile (swaping files or manually changing setting) and come back in again. Could it be possible to have multiple stick setup available. Maybe a stick setup that is link to a plane type/variant that could be selected when you choose your plane. The way I picture this:

A) In a control menu like we have now in iL2, have the option to select the plane for which we want to edit the stick controls (pitch, yaw, roll, etc.) (i.e.: Spit Mk1);

B) Have the option to edit one or more "user defined/pilot" stick setup profile(s) were one could enter is prefered value for stick sensitivity, filtering, limits (kind of what we have now with iL2 (but maybe more detailed));

C) Have the option to link the plane (Spit Mk1) to either a "default" profile or to the edited "user defined/pilot" profile so that each time that this plane is selected in game the proper stick setup "file" is loaded;

D) Give the option to edit the "default" stick setup that is applicable to all plane. This "default" stick profile would be more of a universal stick profile that is applicable to all planes rather then a profile the you can't edit. It would be loaded by "default" unless the user as choosen to have a custom (or edited) profile link the the given plane (in this example the Spit Mk1).This would give us greater flexibility and would help alot as different plane sometime need very different stick setup (in terms of sensitivity, filtering, limits).

So to recap this would allows us to customize a general profile (default profile) available to all planes... And fine tune some profiles that are specific to planes that we fly most often. Also being having them link to a plane means that when you change plane (i.e. a Spit Mk1 for a BF109-E3/4) in a server (or campain) your stick profiles get automatically switched without you having to do anything. Most importantly you don't have to drop out of the game.

If one was to push this idea further, all controls could be specific to given aircraft (made to work in a similar fashion to what was explained above)... not just the stick basic 3 axis. This could help guys that fly single, twin or four engine aircraft from the same setup.

Hope this help,
