can you use a joystick to fly stuff in BF?

 

[Embattle]

Yes.

Yes I do, I use a sidewinder with throttle control to fly the planes and helicopters(DC).

For me it makes it a lot easier, but for others they find it harder. ah well its up to personal taste.

the throttle makes all the difference i reckon, especially in the mig

thanks, I couldn't see any joystic config stuff; maybe I'm been a bit fik...

There's no specific joystick options, you assign it the same as you'd do anything else.

 

[Maljonic]

oh, I see now; thanks

[Embattle]

I had a go at flying with the joystick last night and didn't find it that much easier; gave up in the end and played CS instead, I was crap at that too 'cause I haven't played for three weeks

I use a joystick and find it a lot easier to fly than with m+k.

Down to personal preference, but I never join a BF game without it

just tried it again for the last hour or so, it is a lot better. For some reason though the game just quits out on me sometimes and I don't know why... if I check on ase it says I'm still on there

I got a M$ Sidewinder forcefeedback joystick specifically to fly in BF, and it made all the difference.... I can now stay in the air for ages until I hit the side of cliffs =)

Just a shame I can't get the actual forcefeed back to work on it =(
