Anybody that doesn't know, a game pad is like a PS2 controller. Mine has the same buttons as a PS2 controller in the same places. It is exceptionally easy to fly, at least to me.
that is why they made the 360 controller and if I had one that worked with windows xp, well, flying would be my joy...

Re: what do you use to fly?

I use the Saitek PS2500 for all my flight needs. It's almost exactly like an x-box controller and I love it. It's extremely responsive.

Re: what do you use to fly?

keyboard all the way!!! its so hard to do those upside down loops with a mouse, i like that you can hold down a key indefinitely, not like the mouse when you have to drag it back sometimes!

I am with you there.

I have no clue how some of you do those maneuvers with the different set ups.

A old DELL stock keyboard and a Rolling ball HP Mouse .


I'm too broke to buy gaming stuff. I have to say though laser mouses are a lot nicer but can't find a comfortable one.

we have a thread for mice. check them out.
http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlef...ing-mouse.html

just keep reading down, you'll see a few named

i use mouse and keyboard since my mouse has a sensitivity control right on the thing, i can put the sensitivity all the way up so i can turn sharper and such. and i do hate having to drag my mouse a bujilion times

Re: what do you use to fly?

Usually I teach Charizard fly, but a Pidgy will work. Whoops. No more vintage Pokemon battles on the band bus!

I use a wireless Logitech joystick.
