One cannot over emphasize the importance of the right equipment for this Sim.

even at disadvantage with twisty stick, can't even keep your plane from side slipping for any long amounts of time or your wrist gets sore, and its really hard to hold your plane at any exacting degree of side slip when your trying to aim...

whereas with rudder pedals just a small nudge of your foot does the job, and u can hold the rudder exactly where u want it for as long as you want without it affecting your ability to move the stick, and without tiring out your wrist (and not all planes have trim, so don't go there )
