helis/planes
 

the helis and planes are for me to fly with a keyboard. should i get a joystick? will it work with a joystick? if so, how do i program it.

i mean the helis and plnes are hard for me to fly**

If you are having difficulty flying the planes with a mouse (I know I can't do it) get a joystick. Helicopters, however, are easier for me to fly with the mouse/kb. I've also found that I can switch between mouse/kb and joystick with no problem.

In BF1942 I would switch to a game pad to fly planes. I found that the pad made helo flying a tad difficult for DC and EoD so I stuck with keys/mouse in those mods. Going on the same assumption, I use keys/mouse for the helos in BF:V and the gamepad for jets.

I've seen some killer pilots out there in BF1942 (and various mods) and BF:V and keep hearing that most of the good pilots out there are using joysticks. I just don't want to spend the dough for a kickass joystick (the gamepad was 15 - 20 bucks).

Anyhow, practice, practice, practice (offline)... you can do a killer job with just mouse/keys flying the helos in BF:V.

Welcome to the BFV forums, Airforce :)

I use a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick, the non force feedback one and it ROCKS. Cheap as well.
Once you learn how to fly with a stick, you will ask yourself how you ever flew without it.

I have what Beef Flaps has. To program it go to the controls tab (i think thats it) in BF1942 and follow the directions from there.

Oh yeah, I use a joystick for both helos and planes i find mouse/keyboard to difficult to fly either.

Re: helis/planes
 

Hey beef just about how much was the MS Sidewinder Precision Pro you have because i need a new joystick.

Re: helis/planes
 

yes go with mouse! dont go spend money on a joystick!! buy yourself something special instead of buying a joystick. BTW only the cool kids fly with mouse.

Re: helis/planes
 

I paid $40.00 I think, they are cheap.

ROFL....good one
