Yes but you won't want to to the point where I wouldn't even bother

So it possible but really hard to turn??


will it be really sticky to turn?

I will turn the question back at you.....what aircraft do you currently fly in FSX with a keyboard, and how satisfactory do you find it ?

captain sim l1011 controls are good. just concern that this plane will turn like the default b737.

Ah, didn't realise you where already doing that. I can't grasp how you are! But I guess if needs must

for €30 you can buy a half-decent joystick. There is no or little point trying to struggle with an ac when  you could ENJOY!

well it really hard to find a joystick in my country. But i did saw a joystick the other day when i was on vacation, i think it was the logitech extreme 3d pro. do you recommend me to buy that joystick?

Yes, the Logitech Extreme Pro is a good one for flying,but as Peter says, Any joystick is better than a keyboard.

Yes the MD-11 will work with FSX-SE. It installs absolutely normally if you have FSX-SE installed in a single configuration, which is how I use it.

 

As for using the keyboard, yes it can be used to fly the MD-11. It's better with a wheel or a joystick, but if you don't have either then the keyboard will at least get you flying.
