I'd say stick with mouse and keyboard in the begining and if you go in to Arena Commander you got Free flight, it is the perfect place to pracitce there you can crash as much as you want and respawn your ship is instant and no limit... and you got six landing pads to practice landigs and take of from.

That's where I started out with mouse and keyboard, now I am on HOTAS.. but I still go in to Free flight and practice on extreem manuvering combat landings landings... etc..

And I started out with default setting and got the hang of it eventually and as time goes by you will advance ;)

Great advice.

Controllers all have Pros & Cons.
Even the CIG Devs use all 3 types, depending on what they are playing/testing.
Ship flight mechanics & weapons are still being balanced and this makes a difference.
At present, it is simply a matter of preference. And cost, of course.

btw - I have been using M&K since the beginning and still do. For now at least.


M+K isnt too bad for now. Try hopping on with any of us one day and most of us can usually walk you through most of the controls. Hit me up tomorrow if you cant find anyone and I would be happy to help.
TEST members are very helpful & like having fun.

Welcome to TEST.
