    I haven’t read all of the posts on the difficulty of plane flight controls, however it is possible to change the keyboard controls. Hie Esc...hit Options...hit Keyboard And Mouse...hit the Airplane icon.

    I had to change mine to W, 2, A, D, Q, S, space bar, Shift, F1, F2, Ctrl.

    Another tip...fly slower, to maximize maneuverability. My mistake was always flying as fast as possible, letting the enemy easily get behind my plane. Going slower allows you to match his airspeed, get on his tail, and win the battle.

    Good luck.

    As much as I like flight simulators the aircraft controls in FC 5 suck, and apart from Nick Rye's mission to retrieve his aircraft and the last John mission I avoid aircraft like the plague. As it is before doing Join's last mission I mark a waypoit at a heli spawn port a and once I'm in the plane for the final shoot out with John I fly to the waypoint, bailout and grab a helicopter. Then it's just a matter of shooting John down with guns and rockets.

    I really have had not an issue flying the plane. Its actually the first "flight simulator" I have been able to fly without constantly crashing. For example in Battlefield series I have great difficulty keeping the plane in the air without losing control of it. And landing is the easiest ever. One can actually land in a forest without blowing up the plane.

    FIGHTING other aircraft is a challenge, I tend to collide with them which is how Johns plane was taken down. Also getting a two seater and having an AI partner handle the rear gun takes care of the some of these missions, as any target I have problems lining up on, which will take more practice on my part, however as I fly by the AI gunner often gets what I could not. The PLANE makes an interesting weapon to use on some ground targets one may not think about. A MG helicopter, I have found, ion the other hand is way too easy as the AI has problems countering it effectively.
