Actually Dude,I do the same (although I usually play with no cockpit) and only in arcade mode.

This all came about because I was too lazy to find my joystick and now I got used to keyboard/mouse biggrin

Only Arcade mode allows it. In FRB you dont have a choice it is mandatory and it is better that way. FRB is a very different game from Arcade.

I find it extremely annoying that mouse and keyboard users have an advantage over joystick users... in an AIR COMBAT GAME. banghead

I'd try it myself, but I hate using mouse and keyboard to play games with.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Arcade is Just That,, a Arcade Game ! To Go from even arcade to Historical BATTLES IS Like Playing 2 Different Games,, To Go From Arcade to Full Real Battle is Like Night and Day.

The Planes Come to life in FRB,, It Some Times Comes Down to Battles where the Aircraft's Flight Characteristics can win you a battle, if you Know the Plane's real world stats.

I Look at it this way, Arcade is arcade,, If their are people that do well with a Mouse and Keyboard so Be it,,, They are Funding the Further Production of the MMO,, and that Means More things for those of us that Fly FRB !!!

Just a Side Note,, I very rarely get owned even Arcade, and I Use a X52,, You Just have to Tweak your Stick and Use Standard Flight combat tactics.
If your in a Boom and Zoom plane Don't Go into a Turn and Burn Fight.. Even these basic tactics will win in Arcade mode.

HB also allows K/M and wonder women view smile i agree with Desode, that where WT realy shines are in FB and just small ajustment are needed in FB, which have been pointed out on WT forum.

WT was the first game where I tried Arcade for the very first time and did`nt like it - that`s just me smile What I feel though is that the biggest mistake Gaijin have made is to allow K/M users compete against Joystick users in HB. I mean HB not just allows icons (which is ok for me), but as a K/M user you only need to press "C" in 3rd person and look around and your SA are covered to 100%

The funny part of this K/M vs Joystick thing got out of hand, when all the Discussions on the forum did point out, that K/M users have an advantage and just all most over night, HB had it`s player base increased more than 100% smile guess, what player base vent to HB smile

I dont play HB at the moment only FB. I mean, what should I say to a player in HB, who shoots me down? Nice flying! Or nice clicking! biggrin

Does WT appeal to flightsimmers. Yes if you ask me smile I have been into non Arcade flightsims for many years now and WT do have a nice potential - not for everyone of cause, but for 90% of flightsimmers out there, yes!

WT and it`s "flightsimmers" need all the support it can get to make it appeal to that part of the community and we need you in FB to make it shine smile

Right now there are a good deal of flightsimmers seen on the forums (both old il2 and CLod simmers), but we need more ppl in FB, not only to make FB shine, but also to make our voice heard.

And a very important last word. Please! Do not go from joystick to K/M. Stay true to your self and, what flightsimming is all about.

I can tell you one thing for sure and that is. That! Day I even consider or think about to go for K/M. That`s!!! The day I will leave flightsims for good.

I actually blame Gaijin for all the bad blood between joystick and mouse/keyboard users on the forums. It`s a completely mad house at times.
