You still think I should try to do it right-handed "because that's what they do in real life"?
I swear, I've had this conversation so many times, and as a forced southpaw for the last 26 years (and an expert at conforming), I take offense when other people, either directly or passively, attempt to force it on me again under the mask of ignorance. It's not too much separated from someone who has quit smoking and becomes the poster child for anti-smoking to toot their own horn.
I'm left-handed...and I smoke...mkay?
where's brando when I need him...
I am a pilot in real life. I just don't fly modern jet fighters. But the point is, this is a game that attempts to simulate flight in some form or another. To get the most enjoyment from it as I can, it requires me to use specially-made controllers. Luckily the only individual out there with the desire and werewithall to do it uses CH. |
Sorry if I offended you - I was trying to make a joke in the "full real or nothing" style but it was not that successful obviously... Besides it was an interesting discovery for me at 18 years to realize that almost all single seat planes are simply built for right handed people... It's rather obvious if you think of it - but I hadn't done that before that. I had flown computer simulators for quite some years then so I was very used to "flying" with my left hand...
