I see no reason to use anything but a keyboard. Works better then a mouse and it's more versatile then a JoyStick.

Heh. Intresting, but it won't work in a group. Shades of gray and all.

That's a good point, but I think it takes something away from the realism of a game. Just imagine flying an F1-11 fighter jet with a keyboard - lol

Word. Best joystick ever.

For all you keyboard freaks, I think we should 1v1 sometime. I'll show you what real flying is all about.

I've got a Sidewinder 2 Force feedback joystick but when I use it in Freespace my joystick is slack. It doesn't push itself back to the centre and the force feedback is hardly there!

Do you have any idea what is wrong? The joystick worked with Starlancer and X-Wing: Alliance, which I played two days before I used it with Freespace.
