I played RA 1 and 2, and they were somewhat fun, but they weren't space sims.
FL is suposed to be a space sim, but you don't fly your own ship. WTF? And the
reason they gave for that was realy stupid too.

>Is this confirmed? Will the 'Lancer games really not allow you to steer
>your own ship? That just smacks of carelessness if you ask me.

Just in Freelancer, Starlancer is suposed to have *normal* controls. And yes it
is confirmed, because just about every preview of FL talks about that.
