Sorry if I sounded flippant earlier ....
As SNS3Guppy has said, a joystick or other device to help with steering is the best way to steer in 'that' simulation, but couple that with the Virtual Cockpit view where you can turn and look right or left out of the windows to give you your visual reference points. That is as near to the real world situation as you can get and you'll get it right with practice 19 times out of 20. Definitely not 2D view. I hate Virtual Cockpit views usually but it is as close to 'real' as you can get and the only way to get turning manouevres on the ground or in the air (e.g. Funchal!) right.
