What is the deal with these messed up flight controls ?

[Porcho]

This is the way I see it. First of all, I'm right-handed, but always fly with the left stick, just seems more natural.. and to whoever said its like not like an FPS because your not aiming with the right stick, you are incredibly wrong. In an FPS, what controls your movement?

The left stick, therefore plane controls are set to left stick. Right stick in a FPS control where you look, which is also aiming, but technically, where you 'look' and therefore right stick controls your camera, allowing you to looks around the cockpit.

But yes, they don't need to change the controls, they need to add. I like flying like this, along with many others, then again people like it the way your mentioning.
So they should have both options, not just one. Anyway, eventually this won't matter to me anyway, since I'm going to eventually get a joystick that actually works with IL 2 BoP effectively and efficiently.
