Hi all,
I haven't really tried a flight sim since the early 90s (tempted back because I've loved the A-10 since I was a lad) and I would love to get a bit of expert advice on control methods before I jump in to this monster. I have a stick (logitech extreme 3D pro) for the basics, but this cockpit has about a thousand controls in it and I am wondering if I should be trying to learn to use them all with my mouse, or whether it is better to start learning to use keyboard controls, or some hybrid approach?
Since the learning curve looks so long and steep I really want to make sure I start off in the right direction from the outset.
I thought maybe because I would have to be look down at the controls to read them I might as well be toggling/pushing/pulling them via mouse clicks, but my right hand is already on the stick, and taking my hand off the stick to use a mouse just feels so weird and cumbersome.
Thanks in advance for your help, and pardon my complete noobishness if this is a stupid question.
Cheers,
Alhazred
