I previously used FS95 which offers the function "use the mouse as stick". Is there a possibility of doing the same in FS2002 ?

Hi frsptz. The mouse can no longer be used to control the aircraft except with the clickable gauges on the panels. Copied from start.pdf in the FS2002\HELP folder.

...

I suggest a decent joystick with separate rudder function would make the experience much more realistic & enjoyable.

You might want to try this http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=mouse&CatID=fs2002gau&Go=Search

It claims it's "A gauge to use the mouse as a 'joystick' (as in the old days, or with a notebook)."

I haven't tried it so I couldn't say.

frsptz. Please don't think I was trying to make a point. FS2002 Help is not particularly user-friendly & certainly doesn't cover everything. I just happen to know my way around it. Wink

WebbPA's gauge looks interesting & might be the answer to your immediate problem.
