I don't know what else to try but I can't get 45 degree views. Using the keyboard controls only pans in external view. Granted, this is not a deal breaker, but I would like the capability.

That is frustrating. Have you tried testing your hat stick in windows Game Controllers. Type joy.cpl in the search box and hit enter. Then select your joystick from the list and press the Properties button. When I move my POV hat stick to the upper left, for example, I see a corresponding red marker on the POV hat stick graphic in that location.

Yes I do if I set it to fallback but it still doesn't work.

Sorry to hear that

Not a deal breaker and it seems to me there must be a way. I just haven't found it.

The thirteenth video in this series is now live on YouTube. This video is the first of six Fighter Schools aimed at teaching you the basics of each fighter aircraft in the game. In this video I cover the renowned German fighter, the Bf109.

The fourteenth video in this series is now live on YouTube. In this video I focus on Quickstart Mission #4: Opportunity for the Axis?. This mission places you in a Bf109 attacking a squadron of B-17s with no "Little Friends" helping them out. Can you succeed - I know I can't?

I need some help with this one. Can anyone beat this mission? Can you give me some tips on how to improve my fighter skills?
