I have an old joystick the Pitch commands don't respond. I can turn while taxiing in a jet, but I can't take off. So I'm sticking with keyboard+ mouse.

(I only flew back in Training and now sometimes COOP mode anyway)

I use the keyboard exclusively. (Arrow and WSAD keys) I'm not one to brag but I'm defiantly not a noob pilot.

What I can't stand with flying is that you can be a f**king pro at it and when you crash/shot down. (and it happens to the best of us) Everyone always says you suck. /rant

But yeah, Keyboard/Mouse is your best bet.

Always used the keyboard only. Never used the mouse for any aircraft except to look around.

This could almost do with a poll. See if anyone flies with mouse only (using side/scroll buttons for throttle/rudder), or uses an Xbox/PS style controller.

Yep, one of the unfortunate traits of the PR community.

good responses guys! to get even deeper, whats your mouse sensitivity??

goguapsy · 06-20-2010, 11:50 PM

What settings you guys use for mouse control? I always feel I'm gonna flip or something.

Keyboard only, feel like I have better control over the chopper than with keyboard and mouse.

Joystick all the way, gives me complete control and i love to handle choppers of the throttle.

I'd like to handle your chopper's throttle...

But yea, Joystick makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. I like the warm and gooey sensation, and thus fore I use joystick on Hueys, Apaches, and havoks.

Everything else is too touchy for the eloquence of the joystick, so I am forced to resort to barbarian means to fly the LB, BH, Cow, etc. (mouse).
I don't use arrow keys because I find them less appealing than a dead salmon in a wooden mug filled with mud-AIDs frothy water with a heaping plate of poor hiker's feet. Strictly in my own opinion, of course.

	Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple!
