It's a shame we don't have a JTL correspondent, this would be the #1 issue to take to the Devs.I hope you get to fly.

I have an older logitech cyberman mouse. It has pitch, yaw, roll, etc etc. It would definatly have more possibilities than a standard mouse but Im not sure about the software support. In fact, Im pretty sure they are hard to come by. If you decide you want to try that and cant find one, let me know. Ill give you mine. Just help me cover shipping charges(sorry, Im a little broke, tuition and books).

there are mice available that have more than the standard amount of buttons on them. you could find one that works for you and then just remap the keys.

I am sure that the devs have mentioned that the basis of JTL was very similar to the old x-wing dos game that you mentioned that you have been able to play.
One of the key things here is if they are basing the "Look & Feel" of JTL on the old x-wing series then they will have to carry over the control method from that..... expecially as it was so darn good. So hopefully you will be able to fly successfully, and be effective in PVP.
I really hope you don't get left on the ground, and good luck to you.
