I've had no problems flying with keyboard and mouse, just took a little getting used to at first as it always does when it comes to games vehicles in the air.
And I really don't understand how it's possible for there to be so much raging over the mouse being inverted.

Do you use inverted mouse normally and you're able to adjust to the opposite just for the air vehicles?

If so you must be more mentally flexible than most of us inverted mouse users, I've used inverted Y axis for the MWLL ground units (and every other FPS and Flight Sim game going back as far as Doom), and the difficulty is having to think in reverse when we jump into the air vehicles (forward is up instead of down, which goes against the brain thinking of how you would move a real flightstick on a plane).

Understandable that this might have been missed during development if none of the devs or testers are reverse Y axis users, but I'll look forward to a fix someday, until then I will stick to ground units.

I use kb/m just fine for aero.

How about using the keyboard`s arrow keys for aiming?I tryed to add 4 more action maps about maping the cursor with the keyboard`s arrow keys but i failed.Any help please?

i tired using one of those macro apps to bind mouse controls to the arrow keys. it did work however its was way to insensetive to do anything aiming, flying around was alot easier but without decent aim?  :-\

If you can get a decent joystick mapped well, they become a blast to fly. Mouse and keyboard is rather awkward.

I do just fine with the mouse and keyboard...just keep at it and you'll get used to it...I'm actually more smooth with mouse and keyboard but in a turn fight with another Aero a joystick will always win

i was just practicing flying the vtols just now, but i have no idea how any of you do it with k/b.  the damn roll control being bound to the mouse puts me freaking sideways if i so much as stray off some invisible arbitrary center line on my desk.  all i end up doing is drunkenly swaying all over if i so much as try to pitch up or down.
Wherever mechs are needed, I am there
