Congratulations !! because flying with mouse and keyboard was a nightmare when i started ED two years ago... And so i quickly bought a X52 Hotas !!

I was never more than happy since then.

I really encourage you to buy one if you have the money.

I have one. It has died. Never touching Sai-fail again.
 
Because I killed my first Elite NPC with mouse and keyboard.

Yes, this comes easy to the "gud" crowd, yes, the NPC was in a Cobra Mk IV.

But I'm just an average guy. I'm no ace pilot. :)

So killing this guy with a input device that is, in combat, alien to me... I'm really chuffed.

And hey... We all have to start somewhere. ;)


Who else on this forum is gutted to know now that Un1k0rn does not look like the Avatar :( :( :(

My whole Universe has just collapsed and caused a Massive Black Hole!

Wait - you mean..... you may not actually be a wasp?

even worse, thats a zero, not an 'O'! Back on topic, congratulations Un1k0rn! Average is always depending on the context, you beat an Elite pilot, you can't be average anymore.

Whist I understand that there are some advantages to flying with KB&M I have to say I prefer the level of 'being there' I get from a throttle, joystick, peddles and a Vive. I just don't need to touch the keyboard outside of the map. It's not a cheap set up of course, but it is rewarding.
 
Americans have been calling gals, guys since at least the Van Dyke show.
No wonder they are confused. Go figure.

Always knew there was a reason I hated the Van Dyke show. Because I detest being called a guy. I'm not one and don't want to be called what I'm not. I wonder how you males would feel being called gals.
 
I started out on Mouse and Keyboard. That lasted all of three days before I went HOTAS.
It feels so much better, almost like I'm at the controls.

The sheer number of buttons required to control all that needs controlled.. hands simply do not have enough room for the required number of fingers.

Maybe this would be up to the task.
 
Mastering FA-OFF with mouse and keyboard is like training a dog to not eat the sausage in front of him. Possible, but requires extreme persistence.

Maybe using a less sensitive mouse (the opposite of a gaming mouse) will make it easier.

I've turned the sensitivity down a lot. Really helps. :)

If you look for the true definition of MMORPG (Many Men Online Role Playing Girls), there won't be any text. Just a picture of me. Not pretty!
