I have a Saitek ST290Pro and I recalibrated it; so should I now re-plug it?

if your using a jostick, recalabrate it, if your using a mouse then clean it.
if your still getting this problem, twith the mouse, your sencitivitie could be to high i think.
cause i have stopped ties many time and staired at my screen trying to see if it was moving. testing wise, and I never had it suddenly start turning, cept with my cheap joystick

The choppers of Project Reality do that too. All of a sudden they turn to the left and you have to correct their heading. Might be intended, might be a bug.

I just replug my joystick when that happens.

Good thing I have an X52, it makes this much easier

I personally thought it works perfect. For a WASD + mouse (and when needed: arrow keys) combination it seems to work as intended. Smooth and easy controlling. You could get yourself a joystick if you wanted.

The mouse can be used to turn, but it just rolls it a bit. Frankly, I'd just set your rudder keys to a much higher sensitivity in the control options.

I've been flying planes like that since Battlefield 1942's fighters.

It's best to use a combination of banking and the rudders when turning.

Hai.

I noticed the starfighters control like helicopters (Mouse can't be used to turn the craft). Now, this is a small, niggly thing... But is there any way to fix it? It's kind of annoying having to use A and D to turn.
