Which is better, Joystick or Keyboard?

[AviationMan20]

I don't know which one to use. It seems to me that a joystick works the best since this is a flying game.

 

[Gnomey]

Joystick...

 

[Chief]

joystick.

 

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

Yeah, keyboard is a lot harder to do tilts and curving turns very well. It's not very smooth. But I still use it for many flying games.

 

[Toninjo]

Joystick - it's 100 x easier to play/fly.
For start basic Joystick is OK, but later You will prefer something like this :
Thrustmaster
or
X52, Joysticks, Gamepads, Wheels, Keyboards, Chess and intelligentgames

Joystick.

Saitek X52 with rudder pedals if you've got some cash to waste - but it is really the best stick available - you have your hands in the right places, not all hunched up on one little stick!

 

[lesofprimus]

Joystick..

I use the Saitek ST 290 Pro with stick twisting rudder controls...

 

[Vince57]

Joystick obviously. Try to find one with a twisting stick for rudder, or better, with rudder pedals.

 

[Parmigiano]

Joystick, definitely.

Saitek X52 as many others suggest if you can spend more than $100, or the new Saitek Aviator if your budget is around $40

[HealzDevo]

[GunSmoke]

Try a logitec extreme 3d pro.around $30 dollars ,works great!

 

[Cdat88]

CH Products Flight Sim yoke with separate rudder pedals.

 

[Catch22]

Joystick, mine's a Saitek Cyborg Evo.
