"Advanced Flight" option has no effect

I'm really dissapointed!

I just wanted to give the game another try after more then 4 months have passed, so I just reinstalled the game to figure out, this bug still exists even on a new machine.

So this might be a problem with the cloud saved controll settings. But what ever it is, if this isnt being fixed within a few days, the was the last time I played, not to mention having payed for a EA game...
