More often than not i use 'the force', it also helps with my driving to work in the morning.
I use keyboard and mouse to fly, much easier than joystick...
W = throttle up
S = throttle down
A = rudder left
D = rudder right
Mouse axis Y = pitch up / pitch down
Mouse axis X = roll left / roll right
Left mouse button = primary fire
Right mouse button = alt fire
Btw Mal, do you have TeamSpeak ?
If not i highly recommend you download it as it's very important to communicate whilst on the move, especially when spotting for your pilot.
