Will the poor control/interface issues get fixed?

Well I'm using the AV8R and I can't stop the plane from flipping at very low speed because there is no brake on the stick.

If you have trouble landing with a controller, it is your fault.

No there needs to be a wheel brake. Coasting along at 25mph stick pulled back and it flips, I'm not the only one that has said something about this.

When I said "controller" I was referring to the gamepad. All you have to do is hold back on the throttle. Easy as pie.

yeah I don't have a problem landing with a gamepad but I want to play it with my stick and If I can't land with a stick then the problem hopefully will get corrected.

As soon as the wheels hit turf pause game, unplug stick, turn on pad, unpause and break ? It may not be an elegant solution but you've done the hard work with the stick already and if the full game doesn't throw up a solution it could be the only way without a very long runway.

Actually I never thought how much of a problem this is with the capture the airfield MP mode before.....

Only one flaw there - no pause function in a MP game...

It has to be very slight ruddering, kind of like a spastic monkey at the controls. What I normally do given the lack of wheel brakes is line up on the runway at the end of the mission, cut power, throw it into a slip (full rudder either direction, aileron the other direction, just enough to keep you going straight even though the plane is cocked a little), then try and get on the ground no faster than 90mph. Once I get down, I sit here and rock my fingers back and forth on the Ace Edge just enough to drop extra speed. Around 65mph I gradually start pulling back on the stick hoping desperately to slow down a little more. You have to hit the runway at the very edge and have your right wing slightly high to avoid the little hut, and you will stop about 2' from the end, but you will stop. This works at least 75% of the time, with a margin of error +/- 70%. (laugh before you start bitching about that last statement people)

I will try that. But it shouldn't be that difficult.
