Thats a big effing affirmative. WASD for your rudder and throttle, plus X for cockpit switch and F for front chase.

I am a joystick user and I do not use the keyboard at all while flying.

There is nothing you can do with a keyboard/mouse that you cannot do with a joystick.

In fact, there IS something you can do with a joystick that cannot be done with a keyboard/mouse ... pull a long hard turn/loop without lifting your mouse off the mousepad

I only use the keyboard for eject, other than that, no I don't use it.

Re: joystick users, do u use keyboard at all.....

well i was gonna ask if you can make a left or right turn while up side down, I dont mean the kind of turn that ud do by pressing A or D, I mean the real turn you do with a mouse

well ur probably thinking......"duhh if u can do it while flying normally then y wouldnt you be able to do it while flying up side down"

well here you have to use A and D also

My joystick has a throttle, rudders(3d handle twist), a million buttons, and an 8way hat switch. No keyboard here.

All the rest is joytick.

Set your map to 100 transparant and open it. Have all the map on your screen, withought the bacground. You can see spoted jets, troops on the ground etc... just that you can't see the ground itself and stuff like that.

Just gets confusing at times cuz on the map it seems like you're flying in the opposit direction.


If you've never tried that, thought I'd share this.

Nope strictly joystick. Mouse prevents more accuracy but not enough movement. I used to fly helo with m/k but ive been practicing with a joystick so its easier for me now.

yeh that way you can see the view clearly, the map doesn't disturb the view...
