FFB2 is the best stick for use with the choppers (its FFB implementation is the yardstick in DCS) The Huey is relatively simple, but will take you quite some time to be able to fly comfortably, or even just fly at allBut once you get how to fly it, it is by far the most rewarding flight model in DCS, or dare I say, any sim yet made. Note you WILL require pedals for the Huey and other choppers.

Thanks.
If I've understood correctly, the joystick is perfect, but it's useless without a pair of pedals...?

For the Helicopters, yes I'm afraid so. For the planes this is less of an issue and you will be fine with just the Joystick. Try it with the 2 free aircraft and see what you think.
Nate
Yep, tried it with the free aircraft and perfectly happy. Unfortunately, it's the choppers I'm interested in.

I'm away from my main computer ATM - but i recall a rudder assist for Helos in the options - maybe some one else here could see if that might be useful?

MSFF2 is a "twist" joystick so you just use that instead of the pedals. I also use that stick and manage quite nicely with both planes and choppers. DOn't worry about the pedals, they are certainly nice but nowhere near compulsory

Okay, well that's another perspective, thanks.
Do you fly the Huey?
Thanks for this...

I do, yep, its great fun!
Black Shark 2 is the best module to "get into DCS" - its full fat, fully modelled chopper, but it is very user friendly, has very good training missions and lots of gameplay content. Plus it is much faster and much better armed than the outdated Huey.
Aw man I so want the Hawk, bloody xmas
One of my clan buddies (an avid flyer) has the Hawk , its very rough right now
The term rougher than a badgers arse , would be an apt description
Tho ... I still am thinking if to buy or not to buy (£22 is an ok price)
