I lack a forcefeedback joystick, and the one I tried out at a friend's house seemed more or less to fight me rather than simulate the shudder of an aircraft stalling. Not saying it's bad, but I think we need to bomb the hell outta CH until they give us a better forcefeedback joystick!! <G>
As for trim, PLEASE make it mapable to whatever moves, spins, rotates, or can otherwise be used to act as a trim wheel. I have a SaitekX36 and the wheels on the throttle are completely useless for trim using the keymap that is used to program the joystick. It would be nice to be able to trim using those lil' wheels on the throttle!! I already have my second hat setup for rudder and elevator trim but I desperatly need a switch for my aileron trim.
What else would I like to see... better fire FX. I think it would be neato if instead of seeing tracers from 6K out, you could see the flames of a wrecked bird spewing out. Not saying they are bad as is, but after playing B17-2 it just doesn't seem the same(those flames are amazing and look like flames from cun gam footage).
What planes I'd like to see:
More Italian and Russian planes and throw in a french plane. Yes I know they would be horribly outfought by the current plane set but so would the little I-16(drool) and the american F4F3/4(I like lil' fighters). A Morane-Saulnier MS406 with a single 20mm firing through the prop hub and two 7,5mm MGs with a top speed of 302MPH.. It would be ssssoooo fun to fly I think. I have specs for the plane and could provide data for it. As for the I16, I'd like to see the Tip12 because it had two 20mm cannons or the Tip17.
For an Italian plane I'd like to see the Reggiane Re2001 Aerieta I. Maybe some of our italian friends can give me a better plane to want? I think it just looks cool and has 2 20mm cannons and a rack for a single 551 lb bomb(250-kg).
