do yourself a favor, get yourself a joystick. While flying with a mouse is possible, and there are a few that are pretty good at it, you'll never get the full fun you can with a joystick.

Saitek makes a number of cheap units ($40) that work very well

When I use my mouse, I pretty much limit myself to flying bombers.  It is definitely something that you can do, although a joystick is much, much better.  Murdr gives you a good link, it is the info I followed in setting up my mouse for flying.

Really, though, come off 40 bucks or so for the Saitek AV8R or something like it.  Your enjoyment level will drastically increase

I use my Saitek Cyborg Graphite(google it)in my right, and use the keyboard in my left.
