It's possible, but the main issue is the throttle. You're stuck using the LB/RB on the face for throttle, and it isn't responsive enough. With a loaded down A-10 you can run out of runway before you get off the ground. Not very good in a pinch when you need fast throttle control in flight either.The rudder is reversed, but that can be dealt with. The throttle...not so much. The rest is ok.

Due to being very disappointed with the BOP patch (screen tearing still present & the only button not working in custom mapping is the only one that was needed in SIM; zoom), & also due to these utterly fantastic vids that can be found on this thread, I've really gotten the Over G bug once again.
It truly is a wonderful achievement on console & is the one reason I'd never let the 360 go.

If only the critics & reviewers hadn't killed this games' future in its infancy, we could've enjoyed addons, updates (not that much was broken apart from the need for flightstick support) & a sequel for sure!!!!

Edit: I'm not dissing the BOP patch in general, I'm just saying as a primarily non multiplayer gamer, to me, the improvements include black & redouts & the odd heavy breathing.

Do the AI and flak improvements not work? I haven't tried those out yet...

I don't, I look for news every now and then. If one comes up you'll see me trotting off to pick up a PS3.

Both have been tweaked. Hopefully you guys will benefit from the patch more because screen tearing is not an issue with 360 (it's as ugly as hell on the PS3, completely chopping the cockpit in half at times, when looking around) & 360 controllers are apparently unmappable so you prob weren't in high anticipation for such improvements (I too own BOP on 360 also & find it hugely annoying that you cant customize mappings).

Yes the flak effect & AI have been tweaked, the P-51D is faster but sadly, is still a bitch to control & will stall on you in an instant). Blackouts & Redouts are good but you dont seem to suffer any penalization apart from tunnel vision & the relevant black or red screen. I dont think its possible to fully blackout during this move. The heavy breathing effect is a nice touch.

I'm sure you will find the patch a worthy update.
