453821 2006-05-11 01:40:00 IL-2 is the way to go. More realistic flight dynamics and killing people. :thumbs: I have some
You Tube Videos (youtube.com) there, my FS ones are on Google Videos but they are lower quality and less deaths lol.

I still like FS though, fly online Metla (via Vatsim or IVAO), speak to guys doing ATC and other pilots via voice comm (via your planes radio) and it becomes a different world .. as for not using a joystick ... well, I'm not even gonna comment on that, much.

453822 2006-05-11 01:59:00 Yeah, I know quite a few people locally who enjoy their flight sims, And Im not sayng they shouldn't enjoy them, If it gives you a kick then go hard, More power to ya.

As for joysticks?, do you prefer them over a flight yoke?

Oh for sure, whatever rocks ya boat. I can't get into car racing sims at all, or more accurately can't stay on the track.

I have an old Genius Steering Wheel and pedals (gameport style) and run the pedals through a midi - USB adapter to use as rudder in FS, BF and IL2. I don't have a yoke, it would be just that bit too far to go for me, and I figure that if they fly military jets and planes with a 'joystick' it's ok for me to!

I use a Saitek Cyborg EVO stick, which is a good compromise between functionality and price.

453824 2006-05-11 02:07:00 I like FS as well and use a force feedback flightstick (joystick sounds like something you'd find in an adult store). Flight Sims are harder to play without them.

Sure they can seem a bit boring, no killing etc. But when you actualy get good enough to fly (and land) the planes properly it can be fun just doing circuits around your favorite city.
