First of all, anyone not playing with a joystick. please.. step into at least the 20th century, people that play with a mouse do so at their own whim as joysticks are available at a very reasonable price...
One of HiTech's classic replies on this subject (since you're jonesing so hard to hear from him), though you have to try to get the satire behind it:
Do you guys realize what % of people try AH that do not have a joystick? If you had not played a flight sim previously , did you have a joystick?
Regardless of whether the existing playerbase has a joystick (which a decent number of them don't, but I'm sure they'd love it if you bought some for them), players who have never flown a flight sim before are almost certainly not going to have a joystick laying around. First impressions are important; if you can't convince a new customer that your product is worth playing or even spending even more on equipment to play, then you've failed.
tank commander didnt operate every single control on the tank tanks didnt start,, roll, turn, reverse and swing the turret on a commanders whim, the order had to be given.
From the tank commander's position, that's exactly what you're doing; giving orders. You're ordering the driver to move forward, back, left, or right via the keyboard. So, I'm not sure what you're on about here.
(And obviously, you to also have comprehension issues, i didn't want your opinion as i consider yours with about as much worth as a garbage man giving brain surgery instructions.. no offense. you didn't design it.... i don't care what you thinking is behind it *shrugs*
Obviously, you have comprehension issues in regard to the thick-as-molasses sarcasm used in the first line of my reply. But, regardless, you care enough to read and respond to me, so. *shrug*
