Yep. Tie was great, but hard to play in Windows.

Let me put FS2 this way: I bought a 70 dollar flight stick *specifically* to play this $10 game.

Wow, what a resounding recommendation. Do I need a joy stick to play, or can I wing it with my keyboard and mouse?

 

[Astromarine]

You can wing it. But don't try it once with a joystick, or you'll do what I did.

 

[Spazmo]

Don't play it with mouse and keyboard. You just wouldn't be doing justice to this great game. I've used my flight stick in maybe three games, and I don't regret buying it at all.

Space dogfight sims like FreeSpace, Tachyon, and X-Wing practically require a joystick. You'll wear out even an optical mouse when chasing interceptor-type fighters. I could probably outmaneuver an Ursa bomber and possibly an Erinyes heavy fighter with a mouse, but trying to shoot down a Perseus stealth fighter would make me cry.

As for me, I'm still using my ten-year-old Gravis Thunderbird.

 

[Spazmo]

Yarr. I hate that mission with the Perseus. I'm awfully glad I had my Sidewinder then.

I think my personal favorite mission so far is the nebula one where you "need to change your shorts" two seconds in (spoilers avoided). It's just so cool.
