New PS3 member and question

[kozzm0]

Using an analog stick to look around is generally superior to a hat switch. The ps3 controller is also small and allows you to access all the other controls while still maintaining full control of the stick, throttle and view. The only thing that sucks is the rudder.

Some people use layout 4 but I still like aviator layout because it gives great control over the throttle, you change power just by adjusting the pressure on the buttons. To make your enemy overshoot.
