Well I don't know about you. But I don't play them, just to tell people at some gathering etc. that I downed 16 He-111s in my La-5FN in one sortie. So in my case, I do just play for fun. Games like these, are just a place to relax and enjoy. Like drinking a cool beer on a hot day. So unless for some reason, you see me talking about how I downed 16 He-111s in my La-5FN in one sortie. Video games are just for fun.

You don't win anything when you beat them, except the little pride you get once you have beaten the game. Everyone including myself gets that.

Blazing Angles!? Not even close.

Before you say that, how about you try every mission on Sim with one, or even two attempts.

Or, is all the hate because the game is easier without a flightstick? Can't learn to use a controller?

people today- you give em gold and they moan its just shiny yellow...

if people honestly want to compare bop to blazing angels then they obviously are frustrated at the lack of a decent groinal attachment for their PC...

I bolded what I am replying to here....

Its not hate at all... the game is not easier with or without a flightstick... its the fact that not everyone likes the set controller settings programmed into the game... That includes the horrible deadzones that are programmed into the game that are proven to be due to the game and not the flightstick...

give me an ability to swap control sticks and then we can talk about using a controller.

As long as you don't touch the sensitivity levels there is really no dead zone with a controller.

If there is no option to swap sticks in the first update, I do think it would be a mistake.

Yep. It's not just BOP mind. Personally, this has been a thorn in my side for some time and I find it amazing... in this day & age of videogaming, that user mappable button configs aren't standard in every console game period.

It really seems like a no brainer but then again, I'm no programmer.

Do you think an avid IL-2 fan of old would play this game on any other setting than SIM with no re-attempts? And if you bother to read previous posts, you'll know that I'm a console player from the original NES days so I do know what a controller looks & feels like.
I also know what an immersive WWII SIM feels like & sadly; this ain't it!!!
