So, are there differences how you fly between the different X3 games? (X3:R//X3:TC//X3:AP). I have played well over a hundred hours in Reunion, albeit that was some time ago but I cannot seem to steer my ships with ease anymore in X3TC :-S

There are three ways to steer, by using 1) keyboard 2) mouse 3) joystick, and I own all of those. In X3R I remember not liking to use my joystick but not how I flew.

Even if the games are very similar there are differences too.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe I just need more practise and engine tunings.

And don't forget about the rudder optimizations ;).

Yep, those too. I got the hang of it again.
