BoP is a great game - but still I'd prefer a fix to a workaround though I know how popular workarounds are in IT business...

That would at least require that the developers would get the word of this bug. Even this bug happens on everyone playing this game with Aviator/Sim it is possible that it will never be fixed because the devs will not know about it.

There are a lot of game-braker bugs in games which were never patched. Of course, this is only extremely annoying bug because the game otherwise is so succesfull.

It appears to me that Anton is reading this forum. I firmly believe that he does know about it. The only question is if he prefers to ignore it or deal with it.

Not so much 'prefers' to as 'can justify it financially'. Patching console games isn't like on PC, it cost cold hard cash, and I don't just mean paying the team to make the patch in the first place they (most likely the game publishers here) also have to pay the console makers to approve the patch and put it on the relevant servers.
So any patch has to also make good business sense.

I wonder if the flipping at 57 bug is on PC and PS3 versions too? If it is, then maybe it eventually will be noticed and hopefully dealed with. I assume that one of the potential reasons why it happens is because the Aviator on xbox360 is not 100% compatible with IL-2.

This seems to happen on the PS3 with my Hotas too. Played through the campaign on realistic and it was fine, but doing some of the dover missions on sim at the moment, and it seems like pot luck whether it flips or not as it slows down. I tried increasing my elevator sensitivity back up, in case pulling all the way back on the stick wasnt doing enough, and the first landing attempt after I did this it was fine, but then subsequent landings just went back to flipping and crashing again

Hopefully the patch to add wheel braking in will deal with it, as using my guns and rudder to bring the plane to a stop is a bit of a pain also

Aye it's possible to land, I managed it a couple of times in 5 or 6 attempts earlier today. I have a feeling that when i increased the elevator sensitivity (not the aileron as i mentioned before), and making sure I firmly held back on the stick, the couple of occasions it didnt flip I could still see the nose dip at around the speed it was nose diving before, but flipped back up again before coming to rest. I'm not actually sure if the consensus is whether this is a bug or not. I have no problem landing or any sign of the nose dipping at ~60mph whatsoever in realistic.
