This was EXACTLY the info I was looking for.

Talk about frusturation, I was 2 seconds from deleting the app and writing a nasty comment.

You really should make sure the user understands this point because it completely changes my initial impression.

All these people talking about intuitive controls are...smoking something I wish I had. UP/DOWN has controlled every plane game ever, sim or arcade.
Certainly not LEFT/RIGHT.

Wohoo!

Like the nature of the combat too ..hard to find a flight sim(-ish) these days where the combat stays so close. Nicely done. The rewind function is neat too ..love the way it's presented with rewind sounds and all.

One teeny criticism though: The flight controls (IMHO) are set 'wrong' initially. ie: They're not intuitive with the tilt-right to climb / tilt-left to dive. I understand that that's set like a flight-stick - and that's what I'd prefer in an in-the-cockpit view. But with this side view you're essentially turning the phone clockwise to turn the plane counter-clockwise, and vice versa. Seems counter-intuitive.

Well, at least there's an option to invert the controls, so not really a big issue. ..the girls more than make up for it. (Very good artwork ..great use of light and shadow, and captures the style of that era perfectly.)

About problems with tilting some people experience, got some interesting feedback here.
You have to tilt the device LEFT/RIGHT to make the plane go UP/DOWN. Apparently, this was not 100% clear, and some people were trying to tilt up/down - which will not give you the result.
Please let me know if this helps.

Oh yeah guys .. whatever updates you're planning, don't forget to add more pictures of the *girls*! Should be able to do a full-screen shot of those gorgeous pictures in a menu-item where you're checking out the.. the planes, yeah, the planes, that's it.

Great game though. Cool style, very polished, and fun!
