    Flight control issues with planes (Xbox One)

    Hey developers, first and foremost, I want to say that I'm absolutely loving this game. I like the immersion without the mini map and I feel like the choices you've made with this game's direction are taking the series to a really positive place.

    Two issues came up for me. One was plane controls. The only two options available seemed like two extremes. The shooter option puts all flight controls on one stick, and that makes precision flying very difficult. The classic mode gives you more control, but maps your aileron controls to the bumpers, which doesn't feel very intuitive, but may be beneficial for novice fliers.

    I was wondering if we could have a third option that's closer to most flight games, where your left stick controls the elevator and ailerons, and your bumpers control the rudder yaw. This opens the right stick for looking around and gives you much more precision control.

    I would be eternally grateful for something along those lines.

    The other thing I noticed, and it's not a huge issue, is that the prompt for refilling your ammo in aircraft (I've only noticed this in helis, but it might be in planes, too) never seems to go away. Maybe we can get this prompt added to the vehicle controls interface option so that it can be turned off?

    Other than that, thanks so much for an awesome game!

    With keyboard and mouse is completely impossible to fly a plane. Everything is on keyboard only shooting is on mouse. They think I could fly a plane with just my left hand? I'm right-hander and have poor control with my left hand

    I have good flying joystick but there is no support for joysticks in game.
    BTW, Helicopter is great and easy to fly.

    They should have left the plane controls the same as the helicopter.. ie right mouse button for looking about without effecting where your plane is going.
    I play on PC and like the post above its near impossible to fire using the mouse button, without the screen moving all over the place and you have to move the mouse back to see the sights again. Or at least have the fire button auto map to the keyboard so you dont have to touch the mouse.

    Playing on a PC fighting a plane is nearly impossible.
    I have attempted to destroy John's plane about 20 times now, and failed.
    I find the lack of control of my plane and that it is easily destroyed on "Easy" to be highly frustrating.

    Must say, i would like to see someone in Ubisoft to fly a plane and shoot with the mouse.. Do they even test it on the PC? Not everyone plays on console....
    I just tried about 20x times some crap checkpoint racing with shooting targets.. Impossible.... I think i just realized that i bought a crap game...

    Spray and pray... just impossible.... I play on easy and it's supposed to be easy.... can't wait the trainer with timer off... well, off to wildlands...

    I agree with the helicopter. Its awesome to fly. I should have noted that I'm playing on Xbox One. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with it on PC, too.

    So does your mouse control yaw, pitch, and roll?

    Planes need to switch the yaw with the roll control.
    Helicopters need to just reevaluate their lives as a whole.
