What do you guy's use to fly, keyboard and mouse,Xbox controller or joystick? I use Xbox controller, but just recently I upgraded to windows 8.1 from 7,and now my controller doesn't work with any bf games. This has forced me to use my keyboard and mouse for flying, i can aim better now but I do crash a lot: )
I started by using a 360 controller, felt more natural to me. However on the say so of Joe & Nexus I swapped to KB&M.
Took me ages to figure it out and get comfortable. Bind "Pitch Up" to your space bar, saves you having to use loads of your mousemat.
I can only fly however in 3rd person, I suck balls in 1st - judging the correct turn speed can be a nightmare.
