Cool

A great game to be sure but it would be nice if maybe on the single missions you could pick from more than one plane. The pool could still be limited to what would be appropriate, ie no P-51 Mustang while playing as the Russians, but being able to change it up a little would be nice.

I agree, I was expecting to choose from all the planes in campaign when I heard there were unlocks, and I was kinda disappointed.

I also think it should be possible to select, in SP training, 0 enemy fighters, instead of a minimum of 1. That way you can fly around on a free map, just rollin' around having fun

Hi,
it would be nice to have the following as aditional options or improvements in the game on the ps3:

- mappable controls for the thrustmaster or at least the brakes should work
or a shift button to assign more functions
or a possibility to assign to two different mappings of the Thrustmaster different functions
- free 360° view on the cooli hat, eliminate the deadzone
- the option to play the missions, training or campain with a start and landing
- the option to choose "0" enemies in Training
- and maybe also an option for the flaps in realistic too, to choose as automatic or manual. Therefore more Buttons on the Thrustmaster

At all the Game is allready great! The best flygame on a console i have ever seen! Thx! The suggestions would make a more simulated feeling playing the game.

Maybe not being pulled to the menu as soon as the mission is acomplished will help.

Often I have the sense (wrong of course) that they dont want I enjoy too much his wonderful game.

Hi! This is my first post here. Been playing the PS3 version with my Thrustmaster HOTAS Stick. The game is very very good.
My suggestion for braking and WEP using the throttle:
It seems like your using the whole 0-100 scale for speed. Which means that you can't fly on 100% speed (it will always go into WEP) nor brake. Why don't you just adjust the scale so that 1% throttle equals 0 speed and 99% throttle equals 100 speed. So the max (100% throttle) and min (0% throttle) settings could be used for WEP and braking.

Another thing. The look around function:
Why don't you just get rid of the look down function when pressing down and use that movement to look back on your six? looking down on the instruments is pretty neat, but not really helpful and when in virtual cockpit looking straight down is kind of unrealistic anyways.
Other than that, the game is almost perfect.
Oh one more wish: it would be cool if emergency landings were possible and if successful the plain could be repaired...

But please keep that to the virtual cockpit. In cockpit view I would hate not being able to see the wonderfully modelled and working instruments. It defeats the purpose of having them I think.

Hey while we're all hoping maybe a P-39 Airacobra and a P-40 Warhawk, in Russian skins would be sweet.

I'd like a free flight mode where I can practice my flying in any unlocked aircraft and map. Should be easy to accomplish.

Also I'd like the option of take-off and landing for every mission. IE. Battle of Britain Scramble!!!!!

Lots of others but they are my main two and would be sooooo easy to encode in a DLC.

My thoughts for DLC's,

Axis campaigns,
Free flight mode, maybe modify training mode to include take off's and landings?
Heavy bombers, I know the B17 can be unlocked but what about the lancaster, halifax, stirling etc, and the B24 for the yanks, plus the German FW200 condor?
8th airforce missions flying out of east anglia,
BoB battles over London, scrambling out of Biggin Hill, Redhill, North Weald, Colney etc,
the game NEEDS a Mosquito badly,
historically accurate aeroplane registrations and squadron codes, (Please),

Maybe as add-on expansions,

Pacific Theatre, Zero's, corsairs, bearcats, B29's,
North Africa, theres something about a desert spec MK5 spit with that huge air filter,
