Erm isn't that the opposite of what we've been told.

i hope this is correct

because if it was reversed it would be quite retarded

?

Most flight games on consoles(besides battle staions) usually have the left stick as the pitch/roll stick.

Doesn't the right stick control the throttle and rudder in BoP?

That's my understanding too Nike. Maybe the writer just got rushed?

More than likely

It's the reverse, with no option for reversing it so that you have the sticks on the "correct" sides, i e aileron/elevator on the right. Which makes this game pretty damn hard, no nearly impossible, to play with a controller. I mean, even BF1943 got this one right, but IL-2 doesn't?

Dude, I play Flight games since SNES on consoles.
Always Steered with my Left thumb.
Infact the only games i've played with steering on the right are games like battlefield and battlestations, Simple because those games are also more shooter type of games, NOT FLIGHT GAMES.

EVERY other flight game i have played on consoles had the pitch/roll on Left stick.

I've changed over the sticks in Battlestations and inverted the Y axis to give myself some practice for Birds of Prey. Its easy enough to just fly around, but in emergency situations I do tend to react with the wrong stick, or in the wrong direction, which has resulted in a number of crashes when flying at low level.

Yes, but it doesn't match the way you control a real plane, or an r/c plan for that matter, so it screws me up when playing. I don't see the sense in not giving the player a simple choice of which stick does what...
