So, I've started the game and I can't really play it now. It's a mess.

The game doesn't seem to have controls mapped beyond vary basic, making joysticks or X360 pad useless: there's no thrust or rudder controls linked to the controller and it's extremely hard to do anything but basic flight training without those.

Combat would've been fine, but there's no global map or anything that indicater where the enemies might be should they spawn outside of radar range. There were few times where voice lines indicated that combat was going on, but I had no idea where. Goin back to controls: there's no normal free look (the one that qucikly re-snaps to the center if you release controls), no padlock no direction arrow or other way to track a tagret should they get out of field of view.

Missions aren't better either: Dove of Boyra keeps failing for no discernable reason: the game doesn't bother to explain the objective beside "link with bomber" voice line, while the HUD reads "kill fighter", then the mission randomly fails. The game doesn't explain what you did wrong.
(Dear developers, if this was supposed to be an esort mission: don't make those until you've polished the gameplay).
Same with Blizzard mission: it just failed for no reason at all when I got to second waypoint.

The missions doesn't allow you to pick a plane and doesn't explain you what aircraft you're flying this mission.

There's also annoying autopilot feature that takes away controls without warning at Alone Festival, despite HUD showing a waypoint.

So: suggestions.
Add proper mission descriptions and objectives: a short description text and in-game pop-up shouldn't be that hard.
Add proper control schemes for the most popular controllers. Nobody really enjoys playing flight games with mouse and keyboard.
Add a proper free-look or padlock to keep track on targets.

Thanks for your comments. We'll add that part to give you a little clearer idea of how the game is going.
