I bought x-wing alliance (secon hand) only to find out that i cant play it with a mouse like the old x-wing and tie fighter games,I thought that xwingVStiefighter was a big mistake not provideing the option to use a mouse that would not be repeated, how can u not provide the option of useing the mouse,
my one buddy says he can play it with a mouse,y cant i, can someone please HELP ME!

You can use the mouse to look around, but not to control your craft, I believe. I'm pretty sure the game box says, "Joystick required," in fact.
