thats odd, i would hate to have my mouse under my keyboard, and the only way i can fly with a joystick is if its on my lap.
and btw did you make that desk that your mouse and joystick sits on, cuz its just plain wood....

Not too odd. I use my Nostromo n52 instead of keyboard.....Yea, its just wood! I had a few 2x4s and a half a sheet of MDF lying around in the shop..Cost me about $10.00.

BTW imdead....I am proud to be a nerd! THANKS! Funny how this makes me a nerd..I learned something new today! Now I'm even smarter (I'M TAKING OVER THE WORLD----MUHAHAHAH!

It ain't so hard to press F11, I do it all the time when I fly without joystick. And for joystick good one can cost around 100€.

Stats dont mean a thing if you are a good pilot or not, try to fly another map then wake. It's so easy to rape the carrier and island with a over powered J10!!!!!

Actual skill in flying seems to have dissapeared since 1.2. Ah, the good ol' days when people were FORCED to be good at dogfighting

So? You're flying in a plane that is invincible to the vast majority of all pilots, while you can easily shoot down other jets, without even having to stay on their tail for more than 5 seconds. As if that's skill!

How about holding the mouse with one hand and then press the F11 key or what ever with your other hand?

You do have 2 hands dont you?
