Which is better, Joystick or Keyboard?

AviationMan20 · Aug 9, 2006

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

joystick.

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.

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!

Joystick..

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

Vince57 · Nov 13, 2006

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

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
