Spend some money on a Flight stick, spend more than 30-40 bucks on a decent one preferably a Throttle and Stick HOTAS type like the Saitek X-52 or better, believe me nothing makes a game harder to enjoy than crappy control input. Folks here and at other sim forums are more than happy to help you with set-ups and profiles. I would say that 90% of pilots having problems mastering this game are due to poor, cheap, worn-out controls. Through the years I've had 5 Logitech E3D sticks in varying model styles and the all wore out virtually the same way, are the bad? Not necessarily but I got big hands and cranking them around sometimes would cause the sounds of strain to emanate from within so I'm sure I was equally to blame for their demise. Come to think of it the controllers of my PS2 would do the same thing and they never would completely return to center. So if you seriously want to be amazed and addicted to this flight sim or become any good at it you need to make an investment and no matter how cool COD4 is this will become your favorite game and an X-box Controller just ain't gonna cut it anymore :wink:
