Can you use a flight stick for the jets in Battlefield 3?

I recently bought a flight stick to play Wings of Prey, great game by the way.

Just wondering if I jump into a fighter jet in the game, may I switch to the stick to have better control of planes and helicopters? Trying to control them with M+K is pretty much kamakaze for me.

Of course you can.

if you have drivers for it and the port it will work, otherwise look into getting something else. I have one of those adapters, didnt work for me at all... thats why I have a sidewinder precision pro 2, its USB (they dont make them anymore sadly)
