Don't tell me you are actually using the keyboard right now!!! My god.

I highly recommend at least a joystick with throttle control on it. Personally, I use a CH Products Flight Yoke.

Flying with it is amazing. However, if you want to save money and think you will get into some fighter jet games, then go with a joystick.

I have it, using my joystick aswell, it helps quite a bit in the game. I have never tried the online portion though, only missions and just flying around.

I've always liked flying games but this flight simulator seems.....a bit boring. What exactly do you do on it other than just fly around a bit? Any good fighter games that are really good or new?

I dont have FS X, because my computer is shit. But I have FS 2004, I use a joy stick and its fun.

I have FSX, and have always played all the MSFS series with a force feedback joystick. Makes the whole thing much more fun.....Some of the missions are boring (flying a 747 for 5 hours over the ocean licks bag), but you can fly the redbull stunt planes and stuff...

have the game and a keyboard, the app has been opened once

I play FSX quite a bit. Use a joystick with throttle. Way better than keyboard. I don't find it boring. Creating quick flights from airport to airport using real nav systems is fun for me anyways. haha

you can actually play realtime with real weather which is sweet. I never do longer than 2 hour flights and even then I used the Rate accelerator between way points sometimes.
