Sometimes the wings did touch (although not always the intention). In my local museum, they have the end of a wing which is very second hand. It was given to the pilot as a souvenir after he 'hit' a V1. I think this might be the occasion in the sig picture but don't quote me on this. Quite a hairy landing aparently. Also, I think this method was used by some pilots to avoid the massive explosion that comes with shooting a flying bomb.

Back on topic, the only problem I have with the game is the looking around feature. I think the triggers would be better set as the rudder and maybe click the right stick to adjust the throttle. I think it is very important to have control of all surfaces whilst looking around in a dogfight!
Other than that, the game is great. Thanks to everyone who has made the best flight game for a console ever!

The only problem with that is the fact that throttle control is just as important. If I can see my target but always over-shoot, lose lift or closing speed then we are back to where we started. I think the best option is a click toggle for looking around. You click R3 and then can look. Click it again to maintain throttle and rudder control.

You are probably right. However you still wouldn't be able to look and fly properly.

( I am really quite happy that this is my only problem with the game)
