TCMU2009: I just bought FS2 and downloaded the Beyond the Red Line demo, and I was wondering what is the best way to play the game, control wise. I have gone through the training on both games with mouse and keyboard, and then again with keyboard and number pad. Neither is too bad, but I was thinking I might get a joystick. Should I, or should I just stick with keyboard and mouse? I also didn't mean to post this question on the mod thread.
Well with any flight or space sim the best control is a joystick, that said the game is playable with a mouse/keyboard/keypad combo. However, as the difficulty level of the game increases, the control of a joystick is nicer. The
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick is decent joystick for relatively cheap (just under $30). However, if this is the only space/flight sim game you're going to play and only going to play once, you must decide if the cost is worth it.
P.S. This is a good forum for this type of question, no need to apologize.
EDIT: Ah ... I see you posted this in the stickied thread about mods. Meh not a huge deal. :)
