PS3 patch 1.01 live

[trk29]

Hey guys I tested out all the layouts they have 4 defaults now. I believe Gaijin got it right with layout 3 it is just like wireless AV8R layout except now rudder is L2 and R2 and throttle is L1 and R1 and you can set throttle to what ever you want it.

This will be my choice with pad and I should say you should try this.

To look you just move right stick and to get different views click it.

D-pad does Rockets bombs and flaps
Square zooms
X guns
triangle commands to flight ? I haven't tried this one yet
o map

the only thing is there is no trim button

YES!!!!!! GREAT ADVICE. Finally. Workable views & a zoom feature on SIM mode. Thanks alot trk.

Awesome! Thanks, that zoom in works wonders.

If only we could map it to our own buttons because now I'm having trouble trimming the plane while maneuvering. Oh well, not like WWII pilots could really maneuver well while trimming (if they were crazy enough to trim while fighting!).

But wow, that helps a lot. Now I just have to get used to the controls.

I believe Deadzone on the AV8R is fixed but the rudder problem is still there either on or off.

And the adjustment of the dead zone works great as well.

On another note, I landed the first time successfully using the AV8R stick and on sim... No tipping over! yay!

I can't wait to play it with the patch!

Finally!

If only there was a workaround where SIM players could use a controller layout like default layout 3 but have easier access to the zoom when viewing around the cockpit as it's very difficult reaching for the square button when say, viewing your 9 O'clock position whilst manouevring.

The zoom ideally needs to be on the L3 (thumbstick click) for a perfect layout for the SIM player using the pad.

Maybe you can copy the layout and then make a custom layout and switch the zoom to click right stick and change view to square. Try that.

Tried it. Unfortunately the Zoom function wont work atall when flying SIM on a custom layout. It registers on realistic though. It's really strange & massively annoying as it was always the zoom/easy viewing combination that was the only downfall to the otherwise ok SIM pad layout.

This is great news! I know the deadzone can not be "tweakable" with the 360 version, but maybe it will be less annoying. One can only hope
And I'm really looking forward to trying the "patched" version of the FW-190, that plane is just so bad-assed
