Joysticks to control aircraft

[jman70]

Can I use a flight joystick to pilot the inworld aircraft? If so, how would I go about it?

It's theoretically possible, but SL isn't really designed to be a GOOD flight simulator and the "joystick" routines are set up for a 3D building cursor which acts very differently from a flight controller. You have to change the controller configuration and even after you do it won't behave like a true flight simulator. This is a link to the instruction manual of an airplane I have that includes joystick setup tips - I haven't used them myself though.

This is just a suggestion... you might want to consider getting a 3Dconnexion Mouse (link).  I heard it's great for flying in SL.
