And I'm good at the keyboard.  Very fast with the arrow keys that I can do many manuvers. 

Real aircraft are not flown with a keyboard, not yet anyway. No matter how good you are at pressing those keys I think you would find a joystick adds a new dimension to your FS experience.

Not those with an 'onboard' human pilot, anyway. I recently acquired a USB Precision Pro for $2.00 at a nearby consignment outlet -- and it works! Haven't used keyboard for flight maneuvers since my very first CFS disk -- many moons ago; whether future planes will be keyboard controlled or not, WWI and WWII planes (etc.) were not.

I didn'tmuch care for the new GPS either although I did like how realistic it looked and operated so I can see it's usefulness.

And I'm good at the keyboard.  Very fast with the arrow keys that I can do many manuvers.  In fact in a few minutes here I'll be flying my King Air C90 (FS98 plane by the way but works great in FS2002) from KEGE to KASE and it's straight through the mountains of Colorado.  Should be an interesting flight.  Just happy I brought the turboprop and not a smalled Cessna or Piper.  I'd be flying circles trying to gain altitude to get over the mountain peak lol.
