Huh? The current controller mapping, particularly in Sim mode is currently far from perfect. Having to depress the thumbstick to try & view around your cockpit (& if the aviator controller setting is selected, player loses the zoom function).

Particularly worried with the now lack of mention to earlier promises of the horrendous screen tearing that plagues alot of PS3 players, having been addressed. For me, personally; the tearing & the customisable mapping are the primary concerns.

Haha, maybe you can map one half of the keyboard to left rudder, and the other half to right rudder, then use the keyboard as rudder pedals. That's the only way I can see a keyboard being used in conjunction with a controller :)


EDIT: the tearing is listed as one of the fixes. The list posted on this forum is not the full list, as stated.

Thats a bloody genius idea! But I was thinking more along the lines of being able to assign things like landing gear, flaps, and trim to the keyboard. I've just started using the Aviator wireless controller setup, and I'm really missing the zoom.... if the customisable controls allow us to assign anything to keys, then it will at least give us some options. The more choice, the better

but.... its not a pc flight sim.....

adding keyboard support to a game that has less then a quarter of the commands the pc version has is pretty useless.

what would you need like 3 keys?

Maybe they will add additional commands to keyboard so all you have to do with the stick is turn and shoot, and everything else will be on the keyboard.

why would you want that?

i could not think of a more uncomfortable way of playing a game

Fair point, but its good to have the option, especially for the people using flight sticks. Anyway, I seriously doubt that implementing this will have caused any major delay in making the patch, so its all good.

I never said "I want more commands"

What I said was Maybe they are doing that. We don't know.

Pc players have been doing it for years. They might not think it is uncomfortable.

So what? Just because you can't think of a use doesn't mean no-one will. Someone might be glad for 3 keys. Even if you just map undercarriage, or view select, to the space bar it could be useful...

I don't understand why you have such a bee in your bonnet about this feature. I hope you're not blaming it for the patch delay... lol

Mapped just fine to a controller? Are you talking about the gamepad (lowest for of gaming interface known to man) or the flightstick - which is not mapped properly?

PC flightstick support not an improvement? So sorry your microsoft dictated game experience won't allow this. You should sell that thing before it red-lights anyways.
