Greetings all...

I just purchased and installed the Microsoft CFS this week, but I am not
having much luck with the dogfights.  I have been flying the Microsoft
FS ever since version 3.0 and have always used the keyboard for flight
control, rather than a joystick.  Are the CFS aircraft "tuned" for
flying with a joystick, rather than the keyboard?  Even at the "rookie"
setting, the enemy planes fly circles around me.  I've tried adjusting
the control scalars, but still get shot down every time.  I used to be
fairly adept at the Sierra/Dynamix simulator, Aces Over Europe, but this
one is just beyond me.

So, I would like to hear from anyone who may use the keyboard controls
for flight.  The main problem seems to be when I roll out of a turn -
the aircraft either dives or zooms, and by the time I pull out or fight
the nose back down, I'm full of holes.  Comments?

regards,
Andy
