I have no problem controlling Pitch/Roll on the left stick. That's the way I fly on Over G. I've always used the right stick in OGF, AC6, and HAWX for looking around, and left stick for control of plane. I'm right handed too, and it's in no way awkward to me.

100% agree. I can barely keep the plane level with all of the controls on the left stick.

There should be a choice for people who want it, but I have found it easy to switch from flying with the right stick to flying with the left, and given the choice, I've even come to prefer the set up this way when playing the PC version of Il2 with a 360 controller.

Hi all.

Welcome to the world of console flight games. Almost every one controls this way back to the first d-pad type controlers.

I'm afraid that the console world has a momentum of it's own on the subject. Anton and the gang were right to follow it...

Get a flight stick and let it go.... you that want the change are in the vast minority...

The unposting masses will be fine with the left stick.

Again sorry... just sayin...

The developers completly forgot about RC fliers, which as you pointed out has the throttle on left and aileron and evelator on the right. I tried the demo, and even though I haven't flown RC in a while, it is very difficult to break this habit, one I'm not sure I want to because of the cost of getting it wrong on the flying field. At the very least, they should have a "southpaw" configuration that would allow for another config.

With all the complaints I'm almost sure Techland will add control options in a patch.

Right hand for control...left for the throttle is the way you would of flown a real WW2 fighter..

Is anyone else a bit bored of this subject? Its been said many times now, can we try not to have another thread about it after this one?? :grin:

Guilty - I think with your big-mouth that you can quite legitimately have a number of threads for a single topic.

Might have been different if the Germans had seen a PS3 controller way back then....
