I have a Saitek x52. I cannot seem to get the type of rudder control that will let me slide flat left or right. At present, my wings dip down left or right. Is there no control for this rudder action in the controls section? It would make the run down the canal a lot easier. Other UBI games offer professional controls. Am I missing something?

Pilot Stymie,...

You have run into Just One of the BUMMER'S of this BA Game... NO Separate Rudder Control...!!!??? It Flies like a "10 Year Old Chuck Yeagar Flying Game" I had...!!! Oh, But the Graphics are better in BA...

As for the run down the canal, much harder than the flight trough the Ice Caves, I have found that you need not stay down in the canal itself, just stay at the tops of the trees lining the banks. You can also fly through these trees without damage. that gives just a little more room to play with. Also once you learn the canal you can straighten out long stretches of it and increase speed. After the first radar tower I find it necessary to slow down to target the second, which is at a difficult angle, then I can regain speed for the third, after that you are safe to gain altitude for the final radar station.
At this point the hard part of the mission starts.

Even staying on top of trees ,my wings are almost in the water on sharp turns. Will there ever be any future patches for rudder control and for the Saitek X52 ? This mission has brought out the worst of the game, and my X52 which has a terrible response. I can move the stick more than a quarter inch with no signal which leads to a wild ride up and down because of over compensation.

I could use a walk through or advise on this mission. I also cant seem to figure out if the red arrows indicate exact targets.They seem to be on buildings rather thn the anti aircraft installations. Are the red arrows visible through the buildings or are they only visible on a direct line of sight? I seem to be missing the Radar station.

You can see the red darts from miles away, but the radar installations are indeed four or five story buildings with antennas on the roof.
