First of all, finally a proper flying game for the PS3, props to the devs! I used to fly with the original IL-2 on the PC with our squad (from WW2O) and always enjoyed the experience.
I know that is really hard to transfer a simulator to a console platform due to the more casual user base, however there is simulation mode in BoP so all is good under the blue sky!
I tried my old trustworthy MS Sidewinder stick today on the PS3 with partial success (I was amazed that even some of the controls worked), but I probably will buy the saitek aviator PS3 stick when the game releases.

1. Does the game uses the aviator's throttle correctly (didn't like the 55% throttle default with one of the control scheme)?

2. Is there a chance to fire the cannons separately from the MGs (as in the PC version)? I assume the ammo will be limited in the simulation mode, so it always nice to conserve the very limited cannon ammo for those "sure fire" shots.

Thx!
