I'm very new at this game, and I was just wondering if there were simple controls, like turn left, turn right, forward, back, landing gear, nose down, tail down, etc.

Hello, and welcome to SimV!

I think most of us fly with joysticks (although, you can use the keyboard for control too) so I guess it really comes down to what you call "simple".  

You can assign just about any keys (or buttons, if you use a joystick) to almost any function you wish. For example, if you want the "up" arrow on your keyboard to push the nose over, it can be done.

Helpful? :-?

If possible I would look for a inexpesive joystick though,I got my aviator for about 20 bucks onsale I really dont see how anyone can play with the keyboard I sure couldnt i tried.LOL

I'm such an addict, that when I had to (between sticks) I even learned to fly and land the FS copters with the keyboard.

I didn't like it, it wasn't fun, and I won't recommend it  ;D but I did it  ;)

Your better than me,  ;D I couldnt do anything.

I suggest you start with the basic flying lessons in FS9.

My Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick was about 50 bucks from Best Buy. Best buy I ever made for this stuff...

Very affordable sticks can be got from AMAZON  ;D
