March 29, 201016 yr I am fairly new to Flight sims and was looking at the PMDG 747-400X for FSX and was wondering if it would only be worth buying if I had a yoke and pedals or if a mouse would be good enough?
March 29, 201016 yr Get the yoke, pedals, and a throttle quadrant: You will not be sorry! (The PMDG B-744 deserves no less!(Cherers,- jahman.

Thanks.
March 30, 201016 yr Personally I don't think it's possible to fly large inertia-ridden aircraft with the mouse, but that might be a limitation of mine.See how you can handle the stock FSX B-747 with the mouse for a yoke.Then if you are comfortable with the mouse, go for the pedals or else you will not be able to handle a cross-wind landing if your life depended on it. (Also important for taxiing, braking and especially differential braking.Cheers,- jahman.

March 30, 201016 yr You could use Auto Rudder and use keyboard and differential throttle for turning on taxi ways. Nothing beats the feel of a yoke. The Saitek ships with a throttle and you can add another later. "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"

Then get pedals at some point. A throttle quadrant afterwards, and when you have both, you are ready for the yoke, if you wish.
