I can't aim worth crap when I try to play FS2 with a joystick. What's strange is that it's pretty much the only game I have joystick issues with. I always play I-War (1 and 2) with a stick, and it works great for I-War's realistic physics, but in FS2 I have to use the mouse or I just can't hit jack.
Any tips that might help me improve that, or should I just stick with the mouse?

Or the dead zone. Best, both.

Yea, try tweaking the dead zone settings. I found that helped a lot for me.

I'll definitely try both of those. Thanks, guys.
I'm actually finding FS1 easier to play with a stick than I did FS2. I don't know if FS1 is easier or if I suck less than I did all those years ago (probably the second one).
