I'm sure the keyboard/mouse setup works just fine. But for those of us who have been around since the days of Wing Commander 1, there is a certain sense that comes with using a flightstick. No matter how flawlessly the controls work, there is going to be the feeling that something is missing.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still eager to get my claws on Freelancer, but you'd think that with the enormous amount of time this game has spent in development they'd find the time to include flightstick support, even if it was just the basics. Hell, even FPS sometimes include joystick support, so there's no excuse for omitting it. Guess there's always hope for it to be included in a patch or something.
