I used to love playing Falcon4 especially with it's amazing dynamic campaign. The game had a massive learning curve but was very rewarding and as close to real flying as you can get in your home. Every key on the keyboard was assigned to a specific function and you could use the mouse to click the controls in the cockpit etc. The game manual was an inch thick! There will never be a sim like this on the xbox and for that reason I would prefer to see another WW2 or even WW1 era flight sim on the console

Yeah but if they can add keyboard and pc stick support to console there is no reason that they can't make a any flight sim on console. Now maybe we will only see this on Ps3 but that would be a shame because at one time Microsoft was the a leader in peripherals.

Funny, I have always used my gamepad for pc sims. I have to resort to the keyboard for some things, but all the most vital commands fit on the sticks and buttons. I just leave the less common things to the keyboard.

If pc sims allowed me to assign key combos, I doubt I'd use the keyboard at all. Throw L1 combos in there, and there's another 13 or 14 commands to map. Add 3-button combo mapping, and you could fit hundreds of functions on one gamepad.

If they won't do it in a BOP patch, any sequel should fix this stuff:

WEP: The climbing ability of some planes in BOP is ridiculous with all that extra power.

Crash/ kill credit bug.

wheel brakes - dammit.

more planes.

The one thing I would most like to see go, at least optionally, is the WEP. It amounts to having afterburners on prop planes, and it distorts the combat.

I personally only really use it in "transit", not combat. Maybe if they made it so you could hardly steer when using it...?

Seeing as you can barely use the rudder and can't look around with any useful precision while using it, I'd say that limitation is already there. >_>

[InfiniteStates]

Only if you use the default controls. I use aviator set up (for sim) so that limitation doesn't apply

Although my suggestion would completely screw aviator set up, because throttle is much more "digital". Or is harder to use in an analogue fashion I should say.

Another good idea would just to have 4th generation jets because there's tonnes of data on them, many of them have seen combat, and they are familiar aircraft.
