Actually, my first simming experience was also without any joysticks. It was at the early 90's with F-117. Later was MSFS 5. But I didn't
paly it for long - it was not really palyable. Then, up to year 2001 I was flying a lot of military sims and from 1998 was using different
joysticks. I could not imagine a dogfight with keyboard anymore!

Then, I finally returned to MSFS2000, 2002 and 2004. I was flying with sticks and later with youke as it was obvious for me that there's no
other way to fly. Keyboard sucks - I thought, learned by the years of dogfighting experience. And sudenly, few month ago I have tried to do
it with keyboard in FS9 because I was running short on desktop space and most of flight was on A/P anyway... It was a great surprize for
me, but it was not tht bad!

Guys I tell you, for MSFS passenger or GA flights, keyboard is quite good solution! You have to get used to it after yoke though, but then
you are free from that garbage on your desk!


That's my story.
But if I would fly some Spitfire again, I would probably get back my Force3D
