A comeback after a long break

[Alien]

Hi everyone, I've been thinking recently to come back to flying after a very long break (I stopped because my stick broke), but unfortunately I don't have a stick. What do you think, is it worth returning with just the keyboard? Because, to be honest, I'm a bit afraid to do so. Do you think I should come back to flying or rather wait first for an opportunity to get a decent joystick?

Buy a microsoft Precision2 off ebay for a few dollars. It is as good a stick as any ever made.

Stay away from Mods, Steam and fly realistic settings.

Yeah go for it. Grab a stick and get back out there. There's a ton of new content and some great new features for advanced and regular players alike. Even just with the stock unmodded game there's a ton of new stuff thanks to Team Daidalos. New patch (4.13) is incoming with more new stuff once again.

I use a Microsoft sidewinder 2 stick myself . Got it off craigslist and it's waaay better than the Logitech ff . I could NEVER play any sim with just a keyboard and mouse . That's arcade tactics .

If this is the same Alien I am thinking of.. what are you talking about man.. get a dadgummed stick.

It is recommended to fly with a joystick.
