I would like to see an option to remap the controls and be able to have the flight stick on the right controller analog stick. I also would like them to fix realistic and simulator mode with a free downloadable patch as the aircraft stall way to easy in those modes. I am a real world pilot and it is just not that realistic to stall at the mere brush of the stick and it makes me not want to play that mode at all. The bottom line is it has to be fun which the arcade mode is while still feeling real. Plus there are many ways to get out of a stall depending on how severe it is. A mild stall can be fixed by just pushing the nose down an adding power. It would be nice to be able to snap spin and even flat spin in one of the advanced modes as long as it held in the spin. I find the graphics very beautiful and a lot of times I just fly around with friends online landing,taking off and flying formation just enjoying the view. Some sort of replay/picture taking feature with editing would be nice to share all those glory moments. It could use the hard drive on the PS3 to determine how much you could record. I think the sense of speed and altitude in this game are the best and most realistic I've ever seen bar none and it all runs at a silky smooth frame rate. There's a lot of potential for this game to go even further with DLC and I for one would gladly pay for that. Cockpits for the rest of the planes that don't have them would be nice since that's the main view I fly in. More(different) explosion animations would be great. I also would like to see some sort of Pacific theatre with B-25s and Corsairs, Wildcats, Bearcats etc...Down the road or in a sequel it would be amazing to have a game like this become a sand box game. Imagine marrying this with a game like GTA4(only WW2 of course). You could land or parachute at an enemy airfield, get out and steal an airplane, shoot people on the ground, hop in a tank or truck, operate artillery guns, crash land a plane and get out, have two or more online people in a bomber to fly,operate guns ,bombs etc....The multiplayer would be insane and even more addictive with endless mission possibilities. Anyway I hope they continue mkaing flight games for the consoles. I have the first Sturmovik and Pacifc Fighters for the PC and now Birds of Prey for the PS3. I have "The Other" big flight sim as well and these blow it away. I think this company makes the finest flight simulations for console or PC period.
