It has indeed,

I don't really fly combaty anymore, as you say "life just gets in the way sometimes" so on the rare chance i do get on IL2 then 9/10 its just for training purposes or to free fly.

We will catch up soon enough mate though im sure.

Are you sure it's not Dead Island, Gears of War 3 and Fifa 12 that get in the way?

for me i found it difficult to use a game pad in sim to look around because you had to push down on the left analog which means you cannot control your throttle at the same time.i know popey uses the directional pad to check around but then you are in third person which would mean your not in cockpit.to me flying with a game pad is a disadvantage(you wouldnt know it the way pope plays though).I think cockpit should be optional for xbox.

I even can't play on sim mode using a pad, only Pope can but here's the trick: he is the closest person to God so he get all his holy help

I can easily do without the d pad view bucket, especialy in the yaks with their great rear view. As this is cockpit only that is what i'd be doing. But I know I can't fight without knowing the position of my throttle. I always have to keep an eye on the throttle percentage in the hud also because while looking around you can inadvertantly shut the throttle especialy when looking backwards because for an instant you weren't pushing down hard enough on the stick button. Also the engine note does not change with the throttle so you cannot rely on that either.
