The best thing Anton could do IMHO is to make multiple flight control options. If I were a betting man I'd bet Anton flies RC planes. He patterned the current BOP settings (with L stick elevator/ailerons) on the European format for RC plane controls. The problem is most game developers use the US format so most gamers worldwide are used to that method.

To be fair on Anton you couldn't just flip the control sticks round. It would be virtually impossible to trim an aircraft with the controls and the trim button located on the same side of the controller, and I'm sure there are other problems too.

Am I to understand that the controls in BOP won't be customizable? It would seem to me that the ability to set up your controls would be standard issue in today's games. I am really stoked about this title but I am a little worried about the gameplay now. There appears to be some serious flaws in BOP if all of this forum's contributers complaints are present in the retail version.

stop worrying , the only way this game can fail is if the sim mode is taken out

which wont happen
