Air Simulator control help

[humble dragon]

I am trying to figure out a control method for air sim using mouse and keyboard, I like relative control for aiming of the nose for strafing and hitting air targets but hate it for overall flight control of the aircraft since I have to throw my mouse around constantly to perform basic maneuvers. That's where I enjoy the mouse joystick mode, little more janky to aim in but for flight and maneuvering it's the most optimum control scheme for aircraft, I tried setting a "Toggle control mode" but when I press it nothing happens and it just says toggling to full controls while the control method stays the same as I had previously set it.

Is there anything I can do or am I just shit out of luck on this conundrum.

using m&k for sim controls in wt is like trying to write your signature with your finger on a really grippy ipad screen at a shitty resturaunt where the burger is like 20 dollars but then you get the food and there's like two pieces of lettuce and a shred of cheese on it and then you're dunking on their food for the next month because you got scammed

Thanks this is really great advice.

I shouldn't have given them a 20% tip

fr though m&k for sim will always be janky

in all the control modes

it's usable but it kinda sucks

Yeah but there is good cash and rp for bombing shit there and I can bomb bases relatively easily with mouse joystick mode but for strafing convoys and battlefields I need the stability of relative control, it's hard to pause and go into control each time I want to change it...

I am trying to figure out how to actually swap in on the fly.

Hunter plays sim with M&K

Kinda old but should be mostly relevant

sim rewards got turbofucked

Yeah but at least there you can fly out in a bomber and not get immediately shot down like the juicy free kill that you are in RB....

I know I've already watched his stuff and tested his controls, don't know what DPI he plays at but that low of sensitivity has me throwing my mouse off my desk to even try to do anything, and even jacking it up to 100% still has me constantly throwing my whole mouse over and over again just to maintain a turn or keep my plane level.

You’re gonna get fucked in sim too

So far I haven't ran into anyone, the deadliest things for me are ground AA.

People like to camp airfield in SIM
