Joystick or Keyboard?
What do you use? Or prefer?
Random stuff:
1. They ain't "sharklets", like Turbofan said.
2. The Tu-114 should really go back into service in a redesigned form.
3. The L-1011 should also return, too.
4. My posts are repeatedly deleted on the AM3 forum.
5. Concorde must return!
6. Fegelein can never die, even when Hitler himself tries to kill him. (Downfall parodies)
7. Embraer should restart production of the EMB-110 and EMB-120, as those are my two favourite prop planes.

It depends on what kind of flying you want to do, but for civilian, mouse has a few advantages.

Re: Joystick or Keyboard?
If you're into precision or aerobatic flying, a proper joystick (and maybe even pedals) are essential.
I personally am using the Thrustmaster Warthog stick & throttle along with Saitek Pro Flight pedals. I've also had plenty of experience with and really like the Thrustmaster T-Flight stick which I still bring with me on trips since it's reliable and much easier to transport.

I often dig out my joystick now-days but for the longest time I flew with a mouse, and you can pull off a damned decent formation with it with a high enough DPI and appropriate settings.
