Suggesting to devs

I think that navigation, airfield location, and circuits for take-off and landings would be greatly assisted by the presence of a compass and/or direction indicator, especially in the simulator level where the amount of information available is small.

Perhaps this is an option that could be added to the HUD, or as a selectable pop-up from the virtual cockpit.

Although most flying in the game is VFR and based on visual waypoints, navigation still requires some kind of bearing. This would not detract from the immersion or complexity and would more accurately represent real-world flying, even in WW2.

I would also like there to be a simple, non-combat based option in the single-player training mode eg to assist with simple flying, take-off and landings etc.

Hey Anton,

thanks for being so active in responding to posts in this forum.

My suggestions include adding more options to training. Would it be possible to add more types of ground targets and more targets in general? Such as trucks, trains, or tanks? Personally, I really enjoy going after the ships on the English Channel map if you turn hostile AAA on so more things like that would be fun. Would it be possible to make it so you didn't have to add any enemy fighters at all but instead would have to destroy ground targets to complete a training mission? Could you have at least 3 other planes with you? Or you could fly without any enemies at all? I guess you could just make it so you have to end the mission yourself since there would be nothing to accomplish. Unless you land or something. I guess I am too used to playing the quick mission builder on PC. What is there on the console version is fun don't get me wrong, it's so fun it makes me want more.

Would it also be possible to open up multiple aircraft for use in each single player mission? If it needs to be kept realistic this could be limited to aircraft from the nation you are playing as.

I don't know if changes like this are too big but those are my ideas.

With regards to the Point of View problems with the Hotas joystick, having only 8 positions, of which just 4 are currently used.

As a suggestion for this joystick in the Thrustmaster 1 config, since the O button (the thumb button on the right of the throttle) is seemingly not used for anything.. how about an option for having the hatswitch operate by moving the PoV at a constant rate as it does when in the turret view on bombers, and have O for resetting it back to 12.

It would not be as quick or snappy as a full analogue hatswitch, but at least allow the pilot to make more precise viewing angles, than even if you had 7 fixed views and 1 cockpit controls view.

this is for Xbox live,,With everybody joining wing groups, and it is essential that the lobby system stay intact instead of having to back out of the lobby when the game is done and then start a new one and invite the group in your chat party back in.
for the first time I realized why nobody was talking to me when I joined a game solo, it because there in a chat party tying to keep the coupe together.

Any chance you can make training without ai possible. It would be nice to be able to fly around on your own.

1) Most obvious, wheres the freakin replay mode guys? If i fly well, i wanna save it and watch it back

2) In training mode you should be able to fly about by yourself

3) It would be good if the cockpit rattles and moves like in the PC version, just to add weight to the thing as the wind and slips streams knock it about.. they were crates after all.....

4) A Co-op mode!!!!

Need more single player missions. And ones that actually let you choose your aircraft and what weapons to take. The single missions for Britain are great, its a real shame that every other theatre has less missions to do. Training mode just doesnt cut it for long term play offline. More single missions per chapter would definately increase the games long term playability.

ok a cockpit for all planes i mean while u work on real cockpit make 1 like the cockpit in heroes of the pacific

If someone has a joystick is it not possible to keep some of teh comands on the wireless gamespad?

Means you could keep the essential stuff on the stick and frees up buttons to help you look around a bit more.

Could have the wingman command still on the dpad map, gear trim and the like all on the normal buttons.

Is that possible?

my suggestions:
-possibility to choose "cockpit only" for MP
-possibility to choose "gamertag display above the plane" for "simulation mode" in MP (It's difficult to see where are enemies, even when thez are in front of us, gamertag at the top of the aircraft can be seen only through the glass cockpit)
-press the left stick to move in the bomber interface with his viewfinder in simulation mode
