oh and make sure you swap the yaw and roll controls on the stick, or you'll find it difficult to stay steady.
psh, p(r)etty tricks. Dodge AA missiles in the HIND with your joystick, then come talk to me.

You don't, every good pilot goes down with his equipment.

Like everybody said:

- Helicopter with mouse and keyboard
- Jet with joystick
And every good pilot also needs a way to get into his equipment, and its the same key so...

Although I always get raped in a chopper because of my slow response time .

I'm going to try getting used to M&K for chopper.

BTW, anyone know if its possible to make the sens higher than 10? (maybe via controls.con?)
get a mouse with adjustable DPI, preferably one that has little buttons on it to adjust it on the fly (see what i did there?).

Logitech G5, G7 both do that I believe. I have a G7.
Poo. I would get a DPI adjustable mouse, but I love my little HP travel mouse too much

M + K for chopper, K + Joystick for jet

Jet controls:

Joystick controls UDLR as well as firing prim/sec weapons. Throttle set to reverse

WASD, to control speed/the other left and right.
C for view change
F for weapons
1-4 for view change (quicker to get into flyby)
Etc etc

I prefer joystick for both, I don't know for certain but even if you set the sensitivity and yaw etc. to 10 if you use a mouse, don't certain mice have a higher sensitivity anyway? If so, that would put you at a disadvantage if you were playing against someone with a higher sensitivity mouse, I think a joysticks easier anyway but a lot of people say mouse and key, I suppose they can both be as good as each other if you spend enough time practicing

Sorry to say but, a joystick pilot will never out do a mouse pilot, the joystick doesn't favor flying choppers one bit.

Also, if you set yaw/pitch to 10, I'm pretty sure that doesn't change a thing, yaw/pitch is a setting used for people to alter the ratio of mouse movement in relation to up down left right (Ie, 10 yaw 1 pitch will make you move 10 times up and down more easily than side to side, or the other way around)

Basic settings for chopper, apart from binding views to 1 2 3 and 4.

Ok well i never really fly a chopper, but surely they can be the same with practice (unless you are soloing) because I can do the spinning upside down thing and all the manuevers just as quick and well as with key and mouse, apart from I find it easier because you haven't got a mouse wandering all over the place lol but what makes you think the joystick doesn't favor choppers? Don't worry I'm not "having a go" if it seems like that, but I'm just curious as to why people are so certain M&K is so much better if you can do the same things with joy? I am talking about piloting not soloing btw, as unless you use macro with a joy, I can see where M&K would be better for solo there

It's to do with the feel of a chopper, after 300+ hours in them I know that mouse and keyboard flyers really outdo joystick pilots, joysticks are really better for straight line movement, a chopper isn't about that, it's curves, flips and rolls - Being able to do  barrel roll is just one thing that you can on both a mouse and joystick.

It's hard to explain, I too thought a joystick would be great for flying (Joysticks are an extra toy, extra toys must be better right?) but after an hour of playing about with the mouse, I learned that you have so much more control over your chopper than if you just had a joystick, try it some time - you'll see what I mean.
