Wait, so should anyone have vsync on ever for BF3? I do now but if I will get benefits with it off, I will turn it off. I just assumed on would be better tongue.gif
Keyboard is definitely best once you get the hang of it, a joystick is easier to use and more fun though. The reason is because with a joystick it takes time to move it from 1 side to the other to turn, with a keyboard you can instantly let go of 1 button with 1 finger and press another button to turn the other way at the same time.
Use WASD for pitch up/down and rotate left/right, and your mouse for small yaw and pitch adjustments, space/alt for speed up/slow down or whatever you want.

I suck at flying, but this knowledge came from a really good jet pilot, and it did help me become less bad.

Who ever here told me about united noobs server i wish you didn't. The hackers come in regularly and take the server over. Its pathetic the admins only ban from PB or ScreenShots. With the amount of hacks out there in BF3 you would think they would monitor it a little more carefully. I know if I owned a server i wouldn't let people blatantly cheat on my server and cause the server to empty because of it.

I think it depends on style. I could, in my hay day, do just as well as terrabyte flying. I with the mouse; him with the kb.

For flying the chopper a keyboard and mouse is the way to go, flying a jet with keyboard and mouse is a little harder but can be done.

I agree, helicopters are pretty manageable with a kb/mouse, been trying to get the hang of the jets but I guess I haven't found my technique yet. May need to try a different config as one guy said

The concept of using the mouse for flying in BF games doesn't sink in for me though! tongue.gif
I've been letting go of the mouse and solely using the keyboard since the days of Codename Eagle and then BF1942. It really is much easier than using the mouse for me. I like joysticks, but I can't be bothered with it in BF3. Not to sound big-headed but I'm really good at flying jets in BF3 including dog-fighting, and I do all the magic with a keyboard (arrow keys and WASD are all used). I can see a joystick being more fun for the whole thing, though. I might give it a go.
