Play like Crimson Skies ?

Does this game have old school control like from Crimson Skies? Where mouse control is camera and shooting while keyboard is the manual flying?
I really can't stand this new arcade mouse control style where the plane auto pilots to where it's pointed. I want some manual control.

You can do both and it has settings you can tick on and off. Training wheels or manual.

If you go to the settings menu and turn Controls/Cursor Autopilot to off then the plane will no longer follow the cursor and you will have direct control over the pitch, yaw, and roll. This is really intended for use with a controller but you can also use keyboard (Q/E Yaw W/S Pitch A/D Roll), I'm not sure how well the mouse works as camera controller though.

Yeah, thanks guys. I got the game and loving it. Hope they make another like this but with Space Rangers 2 like.

You can simultaneously use both input types as well!
It's great if you want an extra layer of control when flying, and don't mind the added complexity vs just using one or the other. The keyboard inputs override the fly-by-wire camera inputs so you can pull some fantastic stunts once you get a feel for it.
