Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..

Yes.

The physics in Pr ARE limited by the BF2 engine and the size of the maps!, for what Vanilla flying use to be like, PR is a BIG step forward in the aircraft industry.

To a certain extent yes but using that definition the vanilla ones are also realistic, but limited by map size and view distance... Ie, vanilla ones may turn faster and go slower, but they are also on smaller maps and lower view distances, so in that sense, the vanilla jets are more realistic.

PR has higher view distances and bigger maps therefor to achieve a similar balance of realism they go faster and turn slower etc but that doesn´t mean they are more realistic overall. Better yes I agree.

Also the helicopters (i'm mainly talking about) in Pr are more realistic to me than BF2 because they;re like flying a balloon in BF2 - hope you could understand that analogy.

And also the jets in BF2 can pretty much takeoff in 50m :/

well i never played choppers with joystick in bf2 and ive never played heli-sims.
i was only talking about the flight-physics of the jets.
the controls in bf2 and pr are so arcarde if you compare it with lock on (only played it and IL2 but this only with keybaord), p.e. you cant make fast turns and if you want to slow down it takes damn long even if you fly sharp turns, you dont lose enough speed. also if you (...?) pull up (...pull the joystick towards you i mean) and then fly straight up, your angle wont change in PR, thats really annoying when you do a gunstrafe with A-10 because it takes so long untill you really fly straight towards your target.
sry if you dont understand what i mean i cant express myself well

[CHUGGA-CHUGGA]

NO i can understand you,

Hmm yes... but i head one time ingame that there is a possible "project reality" retail game comming out from the makers of this mod! so the physics and situations will actualy suit PR this time!!

Yipee

Hope it does all come along. I'd buy it!

I think Jet is the best with Joystick (for me).
My Thrustmaster just flips out with chopper :S
Mouse is the best for Helo (for me).
Otherwise, in FSX joystick works much better with Helo :S

I find it confusing why people don't use the joystick ingame, the helicopter flight is like FSX, but just handles more like a fixed wing aircraft-- Even more a reason to fly with JS.

I wouldn´t say its like FSX at all.

SIMILAR! THE CHOPPER GOES UP- DOWN-FORWARDS-BACKWARDS-LOOP D LOOPS

What more than you want?

If u get down into the nitty gritty- yes its different

But so i a sponge from a sponge.

Well, the chopper goes up-down-forward-backwards in "Grand Theft Auto San Andreas" too.

I agree with Alex here. FSX has very realistic flying dynamics. Every combat helo sim i played untill now (Vietnam Medevac, Whirlwind over Vietnam, Enemy Engaged, Blackshark) has not flying dynamics like FSX.
You spend all you time and concentration just to fly the helicopter. Not even think to blow up something.

keyboard rulzzz
chopa- keyboard
jet-keyboard
cant fly jet with mouse ot joystick for me keyboard is king
