    Joystick Question.

    Can I use The keyboard, Mouse, AND the joystick on BF2 all at the same time?

    ie: Mouse for infantry and joystick for jet

    Also is the Extreme 3D Pro Joystick good? Does anyone have it?

    Re: Joystick Question.

    You can use any combination of inputs you want. I use my joystick and keyboard at the same time for jets, mostly using my keyboard for throttle and my joystick for everything else. I also trade back-and-forth with joystick and mouse for flying choppers. If I'm flying solo, I use my mouse for access to TV shots. If I'm just the pilot I use the joystick because I feel rolls and such are easier for evasive moves while using my joystick.

      Thank you for the quick reply! Does anyone know if the Extreme 3D Pro Joystick is any good?

        I liked mine until it started drifting to the right all the time. Then I ripped it apart and got a Saitek ST290. It was really cheap and sucks for sims but it's fine for "jet pilot lite," like BF2.

            Mine starting doing that lastweek.

            Calibration doesn't help. Unplugged it and cleaned the connections. Seemed better at first but I think Im just imagining it.

            Everyone seems to go from a crappy stick to the Extreme 3D Pro to a Saitek...

            It'd be sweet if joysticks had a fully functionally trim button that actually served its purpose on the stick. Instead of just being there for giggles.

                    Yea you can, just plug it in and go into ur BF2 options and set ur aircraft keys to the joystick

                    I have had that joystick for 6 months + and no problems with it. I LOVE THAT JOYSTICK.

                    you should get it.
