It's possible, but the main issue is the throttle. You're stuck using the LB/RB on the face for throttle, and it isn't responsive enough. With a loaded down A-10 you can run out of runway before you get off the ground. Not very good in a pinch when you need fast throttle control in flight either.The rudder is reversed, but that can be dealt with. The throttle...not so much. The rest is ok.

Due to being very disappointed with the BOP patch (screen tearing still present & the only button not working in custom mapping is the only one that was needed in SIM; zoom), & also due to these utterly fantastic vids that can be found on this thread, I've really gotten the Over G bug once again.
It truly is a wonderful achievement on console & is the one reason I'd never let the 360 go.

If only the critics & reviewers hadn't killed this games' future in its infancy, we could've enjoyed addons, updates (not that much was broken apart from the need for flightstick support) & a sequel for sure!!!!

Edit: I'm not dissing the BOP patch in general, I'm just saying as a primarily non multiplayer gamer, to me, the improvements include black & redouts & the odd heavy breathing.

I don't, I look for news every now and then. If one comes up you'll see me trotting off to pick up a PS3.

The flying was simish but the whole missile thing was a lot like ace combat and you spend a good part of the game in a like far out 3rd person view. Over all i didn't like the game but its more sim then ace combat i guess. IMo just stick with BOP its the best sim flight game out there atm for console
