"Mode 2" stick support

[caphead]

yes!
I was wondering if any fellow "mode2" rc pilots discovered that there could be a potential downfall for us getting to the ranks of a decent player in this game. I fly models ranging from few hundred dollars in cost to thousands in cost. Would hate to loose a model because I just cut throttle instead of pulling up!(well atleast the carb will be closed!)

I played the IL2 series since the original IL2 Sturmovik on the PC, and I was thrilled hearing about IL2 coming to console. I feel the demo was great and its a great addition to consoles,But why oh why would you not have the option to reverse functions of the sticks? The duel shock controller feels comfortable for this game, and really dont want to get involved in a flight stick. Been there done that with top of line devices for pc in the past, but this is a console and I like flying from the couch , so I wont get a hotas.

I wont be getting this game at launch like I was planning, I will follow the forums to see if this function will be included in release and was just left out in the demo for some reason or even with a patch/update in the future.

I cant risk my models or injury to someone else by getting used too the current "mode 1" controls.

and this sucks! but they are in the UK....... UK=mode1

I fly mode 1 and it isn't that either which has caused he all kinds of brain melts in combat.
Just ordered a AV8R to see if that helps.....

(mode 1 has elevator/rudder on left stick, throttle/aileron on right)

p.s. first post, hi.

Yeah the game uses mode 3 setup. I fly RC planes / helis using mode 2 (and I'm UK) but I never really thought about the confusion it could cause. I guess cos I use the cockpit view, and the aviator setup has one of the sticks as your head so it's different enough to not interfere.

Hope there is button mapping tho. I bet everyone have quite different views on control setup. Offering 2 variations isn't going to please many! lol

ahh im sorry, I thought it was "mode 1", what would a "mode2" guy know anyway!?

Get a thrustmaster programmable pad. I've been worried about this screwing up my rc flying too, but the programmable pad solves this - I haven't seen any indication this will be solved in the full release.

Desode originally pointed this controller out, here is his review of the pad.
