You will find flying a lot easier with a joystick, and if you plan on sticking around I would highly recommend you invest in one.  It doesn't have to be anything complicated, just a fairly cheap one will be far better than a mouse.  :)

Its not impossible... there are several players, some of the best, who use the mouse to play AH..

Yes use the scaling in the joystick section of AH...

Adjust those sliders and see if that helps

try slowing your mouse down in windows

of course...
don't take this the wrong way but... if you can't afford a joystick, you can't afford the game...  

Saitek Cyborg, IMO a great stick probably around $40 USD

Agreed. Get yourself a joystick. This is a simulation, not just a game, and in real planes they use sticks and yokes.

I'll second the choice of Saitek Cyborg 3D, but if your budget will stretch, get yourself a Saitek X45.

And welcome aboard!
