using the aviator layout will prob solve ur problem. Maybe a bit of a hasle to get used to it (not for me tho, i use to play Aeroelite combat academy on PS2 which had almost the exact same layout) but its the best imo cause u can operate all controls seperatly while looking around... no landing brake and zoom for now tho

It is far better to practice a steady hand on the controls then to handicap one's aircraft with reduced control sensitivity.

totally agree with u there, but the cp is way too sensible too play all aircraft at 100% for me (kudos to u if ur able to do it) so I always tune down the sensivity levels between 50% and 75% for almost evryplane. But when i'll b able to use the flight stick it will be 100% sensivity all the way 4 sure because of the reason u mentionned

Following the prey's movements so as to judge and fine tune a move is key to success, even when attacking a ground target.

In BSM and BSP, players have to hold in the right bumper to follow a target, which they have to first find and lock onto first. This is a real pain when also trying to take a shot.

Some aircraft pull certain maneuvers than others, in all air combat games, and as flight models for a certain type are usually consistant from game to game, players know what to expect.

The Hurricane in BOP flies about the same as the ones in IL-2 and BSP and I can pull the same aerobatics with it in BSP as I do in BOP and IL-2.

Training mode is there to practice in to hone skills and familiarise players with how differently each aircraft flies in arcade, realistic and simulator.
