"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Technically you can fly with mouse instead of keyboard
(look here how to do that).

But it's very hard, and even a cheapo 20$ joystick will help tremendously.

You can fly without a joystick.... but it would be horrible...


Flight-sim and no joystick? Not the same thing mate.

Really worth getting a stick.

Would you try to go windsurfing with a surfboard, a bedsheet and a broomstick?
Or would you rent/borrow/buy a windsurfer?

Jump out of a plane with a beach umbrella?
Or Buy a parachute & some instruction?

If your going to do it, take the time to set yourself up to succeed at it.
Do it right the first time.  :)

Spend 30$ on a joystick, saitek makes some good low cost ones.

well ya I would but only after saying 'hold my beer and watch this' ;)

Lonewolf... they're all right

I started with a saitek 290 twisty... $20 at walmart.  Flew it long enough to decide I was here for the long haul then bought top notch gear.

Good luck :aok

I did that. It works ok until you lose your grip on the broomstick. Other than thta it sucks.
