I am new, and I am considering getting into this hobby, because well, I love aircraft. I have been poking around these forums for close to a year now reading about all your great planes and experiences.

I just have one question that I have not seen yet and I hope someone here will be able to shed some light on my theory.

I am a gamer, I play all kinds of games from racing to fps and flying games...so the question is, will it be easier for me to learn to fly based on the fact that I have a lot of dual stick digital control experience and hand eye coordination.

No I am not looking to be an expert right from the start but I would imagine not being experienced in the type of controller would make problems. And I also understand that video games and actually controlling a plane are completely different. Maybe my little bit of confidence can be kept and I can take the next step into flying and buy my first plane. Thank you.
