Actually while they couldn't turn anything down, Capt Eric Brown reviewed IL2 some years back (he is probably the only man to fly almost all the planes in IL2 and has more world records and firsts to his name than I've had hot dinners in 31 years) and his recommended controls scheme were completely dumbed down. He said they provided a much more realistic experiance of flying. Now I'll go by his opinion on this as he's just a little bit of a living legend.

The aircraft and controls are designed to let the control surfaces move to there complete deflections at the same time as having a pressure restriction put on them. I think this is why his controls were dumbed down allot.

To be honest though, I'll get a 360 compatible stick before I buy this as moving an aircraft with a 1cm long stick is just asking for trouble when a yoke/stick was 2ft long IRL so they had much more precise control.
