You don't need any extra software to do this, you can already do this in FS2k4.  However i highly recommend getting a yoke, even if it is a really cheap one, it will be better than using the mouse.  It is very hard and you loose all realism using the mouse as a yoke.  Manouvres are very hard to perform and aircraft response times are much greater.

Alrot is dead right, don't let the Guru's in the hardware forum fool you, I have had years of good work out of a cheap Saitek X8-33GU joystick - you don't have to pay a fortune for one.

I don't know how much spare cash you have, many of the guys who join in are students and every dollar counts - however, you'll never get much out of this simulation without a joystick - others may tell you that you can get by without one, the facts of the matter are that it starts to become possible when you have the right gear to control things - good luck............
