Please patch in some better controls/control options!

what i understood is that by using the bumper buttons for yaw you freed up the R3 so all u had to do is rotate it and not have to press dwon to activate it ? If this is the case i'll be happy. I would still prefer a stick but will wait it out for a fix on the deadzone issue as well as the hat switch issue.

thats is indeed the case.
And it is a much better layout...but it does have two little urks that mean i tend not to use it. 1st, throttle defaults to 55% with no input, if only you could use trigger to set and leave that be terrific.
other issue, and the most important for me, is there is no zoom. im not bothered about target lock zzom...but i need to be able to look closer down gun sights.
if but for those two things, it be perfect

Guys,
i was out and noticed the thrustmaster mappable controller in a store...so i bought it on a whim...and it will do everything you have all been asking.
ok, its not great that you have to buy a new controller....but if you think the game has long term appeal to you other than the controls, its a must buy.
so far i have just swapped right and left stick function...and swapped L3 for the triangle ...so now i just hold triangle to get free view and move stick....works great.

I highly doubt it, but can you map the rudder controls to the triggers and the throttle to the bumpers? Can you make it so you do not have to hold down the right stick for look around? Thanks.

like i said, i have already switched the L3 function with the triangle.....so you hold triangle to free look instead of holding down the stick.
havnt tried the trigger and bumper...but have swaped all functions from left stick to right stick so im pretty sure you could do that.
EDIT...actually, im having trouble doing what you asked with bumpers and trigger...so maybe not
SECOND EDIT....i was trying to map rudder to trigger and throttle to bumper...that didnt work. But yes you can map rudder to bumper and throttle to trigger BUT, seems the stick still retains the original function too...you may be able to get around that by then swapping it with a dead fuction switch...i donno, just have to play with it.

seems you can also get to have same fuction on two inputs...i have now got guns on trigger and push right stick....seem to be able to shhot straighter with guns on stick

you also get a second trigger (in form of a button) for both left and right....you can map these to different functions and leave the trigger as it was

I just ordered one of those thrustmaster run-n-drive mappable controllers, received it, and the friggin right analog stick popped off when i was playing the new maddens ( crap ) the other night !

So Devs--any comment? It seems like the ability to remap or even just a couple other configurations would really help. Most games these days have more than a single control scheme, and the one chosen isn't really very similar to other games out there, so it's not very intuitive.
