What do you use to fly? (What are your FS flight controls)

I use the Saitec Pro Yoke and Flight Petals.

A keyboard and mouse :disgusted:

I should be getting a logitech joystick, that's pretty cheap though soon. I think it was a attack 3 or something.

How is starting a thread bragging? Posted Image

Just because I wanted to know what everyone flies with isn't bragging, and it wouldn't seem right just to say what do you fly with and not tell you what I use...

(I thought this might come up...)

EDIT: After posting that pic I just noticed there's a PC/PS3 switch on the back :o

Wish I had a yoke or an X52 :disgusted: :P but this is fine ^_^

Old fashioned joystick. Works better than a mouse though. Posted Image

I use that one at school :D

The throttle lever/handle is a bit underwhelming compared to my home one though: http://www.airlineem...dpost__p__77088 :whistling:

Saitek Avi8or and a Flight Pro Throttle Quadrant...since I mainly fly Airbus(es), it kind of replicates the controls nicely.

Only problems: I don't have pedals (I count on fixing this issue soon) and unfortunately the Joystick is exceedingly sensitive, so I can't use it with my left hand - I have to use a "first officer" setup with the stick on the right :(

I used to use a joystick, until I realized the joystick I bought didn't twist for rudder control. Tried playing mouse & keyboard, but it was more awkward than me at a singles bar. Now I'm holding out for a proper joystick or control solution.

I use a logitech attack 3 was about to buy the more improved joystick that twists for rudder controls but the box was too bulky for me to smuggle it in into my room....hahahahaha.....and hide in my luggage when I travel back and forth between our two missions....

It's fairly sensitive but still used it with my left hand since I prefer flying airbuses though recently I fell inlove with the pmdg md11....and who wants to be in the right seat when you can have the left seat LOL
