There is no vertical component to the wheel.  While you probably could
use the pedals for a makeshift rudder control, you'd still be unable to
climb or descend.  You really would need a separate flight stick or
yoke.

Hi Sal,

Since the T2 will acts as a standard anolog JS, you can use MS Flight
without a problem.  However, in setting the controls, how will you climb?
I suppose you could set the pedals for that, but then you won't have a
rudder.  If you can only afford one input device now, then you might
consider the MS Sidewinder 3D Pro, as it works great for flight and
driving
sims, and costs about half that of the T2 (is built better too, IMO).  :)

Best Regards,

Marc
