On 360 it is unfortunatly. I saw MajorNelson playing il2 they other day. Sent him a message saying something on the lines of "il2, nice. you using a stick? anychance of doing anything about the deadzone?" needless to say he didnt reply but whatever lol

Can anyone tell me if this patch will allow the Microsoft Sidewinder 2 joystick to work and with the force-feedback?

I've currently got the 360 version, but if the PS3 version can use my trusty old Sidewinder I'll trade it in for a PS3 copy!

Sorry for not being more specific - I was talking about the P51B. I'm sure it was only 4MGs... which is 1/3 of the Hurricane. Hence my comment. And I haven't unlocked any additional armaments because the plane has only just become flyable.

Great work devs - much appreciated (by most).

P51B has 4 .50cal MGs, and the Hurri has 12 .303cal MGs, but a .50cal has about twice the firepower of a .303cal, so the P51B isn't too far behind a Hurri and the P51D should have pretty much the same punch as the Hurricane.

Hello I have the MS Sidewinder but not the force feedback one. I could get everything to work except the throttle. The playstation doesn't register the throttle button. I hooked it back up to my mac to check and make sure the button wasn't broken and it worked on my mac.

We may be the only people here with a Sidewinder stick.

I finfished the "inspect the airfields" mission



Also love the feel of the P-51D now.

Awww. Shame as I love that stick. Thanks for trying it out for me.

I too have the Sidewinder; it's the ffb precision pro model & no, the throttle doesn't work.

Also have the PS3/PC thrustmaster hotas & can't get the hatswitch to accept axis settings for view panning (i guess because the hatswitch is a series of switches as opposed to axis) & so the only option for me on SIM (for an unrestricted freelook viewing motion & a zoom) is once again the gamepad & my frustration is paramount in that the only switch that has issues on SIM is the zoom mapping, & worse still, it will work on the 2 other modes I never play, lol!!!
Sure hope it can be sorted. I've tried the otherwise ok, default 3 map & viewing the outside world & zooming a chosen spot whilst flying is near impossible. Sure gives the fingers a yoga-style workout. Copying the default 3 map & being able to map the zoom onto the L3 on SIM mode would be the answer.

Can you not use a USB mouse to free look with a flight stick?

Kinda defeats the object of enjoying a flightsim on a console & couch when you have to sit up at a surface to use a mouse but thanks for the idea. Will def. give it a go!
