You can flip the controls in bf1943 tho. its called southpaw. Most firstperson games have this aswell. After all some people are left handed *cough*mutants*cough*

it said it al, most people are right handedso changed it il2

i am right handed but now i learned right stick for pitch and roll it seemed odd to do southpaw

Yeah I'm totally agree with you guy, I do not understand why they didn't make it this way. hold this bottom is really bad.
This game is WWII game, and to survive we need to look around and locate the nearest target really fast, especially when it's on my six...uh.... :grin:

But it is true though. Most flight games on the Xbox use the left stick for pitch/roll etc. It is only to appeal to the console community. Idk why you see this as a shocker.

What console game has it different? Plane control on the left is how OGF comes, AC6, HAWX (IIRC,used the flight stick for that), BF1943, BSP...

it doesnt matter what other games have it different , if you would read the ******* thread it would become obvious that nobody likes the scheme and they want an option to change it.

every thread is like a battle with you , just say "yes i would like it very much for people to have a choice"

instead of supporting a single , unchangable control scheme which will scare players away

I'm really struggling to finesse my aim in AA because of this and I'm having loads of problems with air-ground, after I've strafed my target I go to increase power and pull up into a climb, but I'm doing the opposite, cutting off the throttle and pushing the nose down.

I don't want to risk learning these sticks, I don't want to make a mistake with my RC planes, I'm not going to be able to play this game without a flight stick.

I can't see why they did not offer us the choice. It seems a big mistake, I can understand they want our right hand free to hit controller buttons, but the current set up is 'south-paw' as far as I'm concerned and it don't work for me, and I am left handed, but I don't play any games in south-paw configuration.

Shame I will not be picking this up at launch now. I'll need to wait until I have money for flightstick and game, I'm a student, that may be a while.

Amen to that, in this day and age every button and control should be mapable by the user. It is 2009.

i suggest you dont get to used to it then , dont crash your planes IRL , i just ordered a trainer and it should be here any day :cool:
