Once in a while, the devs answer a question in their updates, so here's mine.

 

I can't use a joystick/yoke, I hurt my hand a long time ago because I used to use then so much.  So I've been a keyboard flier for two decades.  The latest update indicates that the arrow keys will be used for cameras.  Will keyboard flying still be a possibility?

please ignore

I am pretty sure you can re-configure keys in the sim. Most games have that feature. Otherwise you could use a keyboard like the Wooting Two I am typing this on. It allows every key to be assigned to an Xinput or DirectInput button, so you can emulate an xbox controller with the keyboard.. Since the keyboard is analogue, you can even assign a controller axis to keys because the keyboard also measures how deep a key is pressed. Instead of an on/off switch, every key is actually an optical sensor. Off course the travel is tiny compared to a joystick so it wouldn't replace a yoke but when limited to a keyboard it might be helpful.

Yes, you can also use an Xbox controller 

Have you checked out the Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller?
