Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
Definitely joystick for everything it feels more natural and allows for more accuracy. Also its more realistic. In a realism based game your flying with a mouse...? Doesnt make sense to me how anyone could fly like that. You guys should feel ashamed.

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
O_o sounds good! hope you get it! Joysticks are great- try getting one with a twist handle for rudder because your going to have on hand on the stick and one on the throttle- dont have 3 hands for a and d keys for rudder!

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
If your getting a joystick make sure the plugins are the right size. Older joysticks might not work with newer computers.

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
Plugs? like usb ports? do they vary in size..
Im looking to get a new joystick- thinking about the beast "Saitek X52-PRO" AU$300 YouTube - Review of the Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System with FSX (Audio Sync Fixed) a review about it Thats an investment. |

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
Well chugga if your just using PR get a cheaper joystick, like Saitek 290 Pro. All that stuff isnt really necessary for PR, seeing that there are no working gauges, unless you are a flight simulator user with a more sophisticated program. Then that would be a really cool system. You should see the rigs we get in aviation class at high school. It costed a fortune it has panels and everything. Though PR is a realistic game the aircraft are woefully un-realistic and most of that stuff on the X52 wouldnt be used. It would look cool though lol

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
If Anyone has one, try an old USB controller. OK for jets and choppers, and a lot of fun with ground vehicles.
 the buttons are hard to program though...

Re: Helicopter and Jet flying, Joystick or Mouse..
i personally have found that a joystick/mouse control hybrid is the best. Use the thruster on the joystick while controlling the movement of the airship with the mouse. Gives you that quick response of the mouse with the accurate thrust needed to pull off quick and tight landings
