I play DCS with a gamepad while using the mouse to look around and keyboard to control certain functions. This works really great for me and I have no want for a joystick or head tracking or anything like that, BUT the one thing that is really difficult or near impossible is AAR. I can manage it in modules that use the basket and probe, but with the boom no way. Even with the probe and drogue it's not pretty and I end up all over the place and disconnecting at least once. It is a frustration that I would just like to avoid entirely if possible.
I'm curious to what other people think of this?
