Also, the planes are I wouldn't say a lot harder, but they're more difficult to control with out a flight stick. On the game pad (controller) you'll be fighting the stick a lot to keep the plane level etc. Also, it's a lot easier to go into a stall, since it's a lot easier to burn off your airspeed, and such.

exactly....
but I must add, tht I would be able to control a plane in sim with the controller if I could swap the darned sticks functions.... but thats because I am right handed... and I am used to my left hand controlling the throttle and rudder... while my right controls flight... seriously this is the BIGGEST F-UP of the programmers of this game... ( not being able to swap sticks functions )
i Have played sim with the controller, but its impossible for me due to the look feature not being a toggle and the control sticks not able to swap... so once I get my ace edge I will be all set. I am sure I can land in sim even without a brake function on the hotas... since in flight sim x I landed a 747-jumbo onto a tazmanian runway that was not even rated for a jet... but thats cause I did the "yaw slide"???? where you yaw using rudder, kinda like your in a heavy crosswind. you point the nose into the wind, and use your wingtip to aim at the runway until right before touchdown.
this game would rock if I coulda used my PC flightstick with it on 360... i'd even buy the saitek rudder pedals ( whick I want for my pc anyway )
