Give an option to turn off auto flares permanently, I've had 15 wasted on one missile before because I forgot to turn them off at the beginning of every single mission; that button could be better utilized for the landing gear. Spawning locations for the jets are egregious. I guess my pilot sat with his hands in his lap until her was in the middle of an anti-aircraft zone. And you might have to try multiple times to grab the stick and throttle even after holding them leaving the airstrip. I'm already holding the grip key, just keep the control active. The jets are very fun, but the missions are often built around the anti aircraft systems that cut virtually all of the fun out of flying. The helicopters are well designed and have a high learning curve, I just don't enjoy being forced to use them.
