It's because in reality, you shouldn't be able to pull the stick all the way back.

This is why you NEED to get a flightstick...and so do I.

This game demo looks beautiful, it handles very well with the Ace Edge HOTAS and the cockpit view is fantastic.
I really like the first person (on the nose) HUD view, it's perfect and the view I'm most comfortable with at the moment.
I'm gonna go preorder BoP today at GameStop so I can get a T-Shirt.

so...is anyone missing the redouts and blackouts then ;-D

i think the demo is good value - lets you get a taste for aerial and air-ground combat, try out all the settings. my only gripe is the free look control, i find it a bit awkward keeping the stick clicked down and trying to look about but im hoping to have a flightstick by the time of the full release so hopefully wont have to worry about it anymore!

cant get over how beautiful it all looks with a minimum of frame rate drop even at low level - the ardennes forest looks so atmospheric.

roll on sept 4th - will be a day to remember!

Try to lower the control sensitivity it helped me.

I haven't tried that yet.....definitely an idea there. I keep pulling the stick into my gut too much. So to speak.

Virtual gut.

You know what sucks... I bought a PC Saitek Aviator for the original IL-2 before hearing of the 360/PC version. If I'm going to get another stick, I'm going to have two of the same. What a waste.

Yeah put it lower now, I also had to get the feeling for my new Saitek that evening.

Only thing that is still hard for me now is the plane im spotting is Friendly or hostile. Any tips?

I'm already missing the blackouts and redouts, and I can't read the instrument panel! The click to look around is also annoying, and my mustang always explodes whenever I attempt a controlled crash landing. Once I went nose up before stopping, and then exploding. I guess everyone has their complaints, nevertheless, it's great to be flying on my 360.
