Ive never tried flying with a mouse, but im convinced that mouse flying has to be a bit more "forgiving" than if you are using a stick. Seems to be the only feasible way that folks can actually fly with a mouse.

There are quite successful mouse flyers though. Raptor, Lazer (though I believe that Lazer hides his CH gear for photo opps, and when his girlfriend comes over :) ) Im sure there are many other successful mouse flyers I dont know of.

There is a running joke in my squad that explains why Raptor suddenly "drops" outta the game, and that is he alt f4s out when his woman shows up to hide his geeky flight sim persona. :) Sure, sure it could be discoed but if thats the case where is the fun in that? ;)
:rofl :rofl :rofl

It is kinda "forgiving" but honestly the big thing I now have problems wit is rudder control....I went from pedals to using keys :uhoh

Tap tap tap it in.  If you slam on your A or D keys you'll find yourself in a word of hurt more often than not.   :aok  Light quick presses until you get the amount of rudder you want.   :banana:
