Just wondering how all the good pilots learn't how to fly jets or helicopters and to see if I could pick some tips up on learning.
I use a game controller, the Logitech Dual Action. I learned to fly so well by just doing a lot of it. Now it usually takes a good pilot to bring me down if they are in an evenly capable plane (ie F-18 against J-10).
Just flying a lot. I used to use a Logitech 3D Pro, but it was ****ed up with sensitivity and springs or something. So I gave up for a while. Then I started flying a lot on Oman (like 1.22) with mouse and keyboard, using the F-35, MiG, and Su-34 a lot. Then I just played a whole bunch in jets until I became pretty decent with them.
Now I'm re-learning with a Saitek x52 joystick. Hopefully once I've learned all its little tricks and gotten used to it I'll be even deadlier than I was with mouse and keyboard =)
Weather someone else used a joystic or keyboard will not help you learn to fly. Just practice with whatever you have and you'll get good at it.
However, as for me, I stared flying with keyboard only (no mouse), was pretty good at it lol, then I finally had enough money to buy myself a joystic, took me some time to get used to it. But I would never use anything else other than my joystick.
Back in June 2005, I saw a pilot go 500+ points in the Su-34, in Oman Demo, ticket rate was set to 2000. Back then good pilots were a serious rarity, with most pilots didnt use cannons not once. I just got to BF2 Demo and I was pulled to jets. I had no joystick then and started up with a mouse, then keyboard. I sucked, so I spent 2 hours practicing bombing on my own. After I got a joystick, I practiced every little detail I had to, on my own in the LAN server. I believe it was my nature to stubbornly learn that art.
Everything else that followed is described in my dogfighters phylosophy guide.
