Unhappy

Do you guys use the keyboard or the joystick?

I use the keys. I find that its easier. I dont think the program is much use other than it applies some glossary terms. Im not a pilot but I think I could fly a C182 without much problem.
I wonder how many of you would fly missions on MSFS if you somehow never became real pilots?
I can fly the heavies pretty good on the sim but Id fly a real one quite poorly. Youd have to evacuate the town. Not only that but trying to follow ATC direction would be difficult. Surely theyd tell me to fly right heading 020 and Id bank about 85 degrees, stall, and lose 7000 feet. If I ever got level again Id fly to the border to avoid imprisonment.
I think the biggest problem with the sim is that it feels like your about 12 inches tall sitting in that seat.
If anyone will set me up with a ride in the front sometime, I'll turn off the computer and I promise not to mention MSFS unless you ask.
