had another play around
few things

ADD 9 and 10 buttons !!!
they be the buttons under the dual sticks thrusters might work better there
and it means i can use my trigger fingsr for the trigger buttons (z axis iir) not that you use them in this demo
its wierd trying to use middle fingers for those buttons whilst using index for the l1 r1 buttons for thrusters

a fixed camera
the camera on some turnings almost went 180 on me os i really lost my bearings and at one point i was in the black sky and thats all i could see took me a while to find 'land' again to see what direction i was turning (yes i was 'turning' but with the camera doing its thing and no land to orient myself against i could be upside down for all i knew)

was also mucking around looking for the most quickest way down to the point i took off from
it seems both sticks out does the trick
i love the way you can bank turn or 180 on a sixpence depending on one or both sticks

edit:
oh and mine dont shjow the thrusty mist but that might be a gfx card issue cos mine is pants
nor do i have many 'sky scrapers' compared to the video's almost endless supply
