Objective of Arena Mode is for friends to take off from the main airfield and rid the skies of all Germans, and destroy all the enemy bases. Players are limited by fuel, and ammo so cooperation among teamates is critical to survive, in order to refuel and rearm, players simply land at a friendly base and re-up, then take off and get back into the fight.

Simulation Control Scheme OPTION
RS-looking around
LS-Pitch/Roll
LB-Throttle Down
RB-Throttle Up
RT-Yaw Right
LT-Yaw Left
A-Guns
B-Bombs
X-Rockets
Y-Zoom
Dpad Left-Landing Gear Up/Down
Dpad Right-Map
Dpad Up-Command menu .......at which point UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT on the dpad will determine wingman commands
Dpad Down- Bail Out

This is going to produce a lot of accidents Especially since there are a number of regularly used functions on the Dpad anyway. Apart from that good layout, I would like to see this as an option, because at the moment I'm playing with a similar layout on a 360 controller on the PC Il2, and I prefer it to the current layout.

While I don't completely agree with the layout to some extent, I do think that there needs to be a bit of an overhaul. I would say that for the bail button something like RB + LB ... don't forget that you can combine a lot of things... and don't forget about buttons like R3 and L3... some of the least used buttons on a controller.

Hey Anton,

Firstly thanks for posting this thread, nice to know 1C listens to the ppl who buy the products.

Ok here's my suggestions :

1) Take off, so needed ! It would make the campaign feel much better, Battle of Britain surely would need scrambles for the RAF?

2) Smooth out control movement in cockpit view, it feels like the controls have a large dead zone so it makes movement sometimes erratic and prone to stalling.


3) Spitfire Mk II, NO cannons and only green and brown paint scheme please please please, the early Mks of spit didnt use the Green/Grey scheme, it came in to use around the winter of 41.

4) Belly landings add so much to a sim

5) Ways that A/C especially He111 get shot down seem quite limited, I mean not every time you hit an aircraft's wing will it come off.

Thanks again Anton

The demo is pretty solid, I third the motion for greyouts and tunnel vision during high G maneuvers. The controller layout is good for me, but the look function is a bit wonky. Its difficult to hold the stick down and look around. The hold should be mapped to the left trigger in my opinion. Can't wait for this game though......FINALLY!
