Default A few suggestions...

First off, this is a great title and I love playing it when I come home from work/ school. Some things are strange though... I play strike and capture the airfield objective games alot, but when I use up all my bombs on strike where do I get a reload? Just crashing to get more bombs seems a little retarded. Is there any way we could land and get more ammo? Or just make the bombs infinite on realistic as they are on arcade...doesnt seem that much more realistsic with 30 bombs on a fighter as is, also this would keep me from having to play kamikaze when I am on empty. Also too bad cannot make the respawns start off on an airfield instead of directly on top of who just downed the guy, giving an unfair advantage...Also probably my biggest want would be to have custom button mapping...I cant play simulator with my d-pad having to click in the right stick just to look, if I could choose I would make the left shoulder button the look toggle, the use the right thumbstick to look...This would make me happy, good job devs.

Well, the crashing for ammo is just the sad truth. Not sure why though.
I can see why they made the spawns in the air, it helps maintain the speed of the fight, instead of having to fly to the battle longer than staying in one.
And about the buttons, with the update we're supposed tot be able to remap our buttons, but I'm not sure to what extent (i.e. being able to switch d-pad buttons).

Rather than have enemies respawn on your six or above you, they should have them spawn on the outskirts of the battle to make it more balanced. I would like to see sim mode locked to cockpit only (obviously we need German pits first) aswell as get rid of the use of the dpad cameras. There is nothing 'sim' about using the dpad to magicaly pan around 360 degrees of your aircraft!

I agree about the D-pad external view in Sim, Its unsimlike but I do have to use the backwards view now and then. So I have an idea to replace the backwards view. Take the current view backwards and delete the plane graphic. Then shrink the view to about 75% and paste it onto a zoomed in view of the rearview mirror.

Edit: I just realised the view wouldn't turn with the plane lol. Anyway you understand what I mean, I want to be able to press 1 button to have a zoomed in clear rearview mirror. When I'm in a plane with a cockpit I try to use the mirror from the cockpit view but it's so clumsy to click right stick, move view up and zoom in all while flying with bullets come at you.
