I'm a mouse only pilot, and I'm still using the old mode for two reasons: First, the new mode requires tab to change mode, which you need to do frequently without a joystick, and that key is mapped on some planes (the ufo or the Lightning come to my mind) to other functions which leads to trouble. Second (and that's less relevant) - old mode is quite a deep habit, and if I just fall back to what I was used to while in a helicopter, I end up being so dead and crashed. I think in general the new style is superior, especially if you're a joystick user - so I would tend to make the new behaviour default, I think mouse-only control is a minority position and doesn't need to be default as long as we keep the old style optionally. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
