They probably will for SS09. No-one complained about lack of bridge controls in 2006. there were 3 controls, steering, on one or two vessels thruster, and of cause throttle.
SS08, it started basic, then VSTEP listened and added static 'controls'. No doubt one of the biggest flaws in 08 is the amount of bridge control or lack-there-of.
I think most people are happy though.
I can't decide whether to buy SS08 or wait for 09... hmmm
