I fly in my lap top with keyboard. I can not fly many planes. Eg. airbus, dc9, top gun and so on. I wish I can fly every plane with my keyboard. Thanks
Probably not the answer you hope for but get yourself a cheap joystick, it will make everything much easier.
Anyway, the sim has a number of assistants to “help” you fly. Try to turn them off. They are mostly nonsense. Maybe it will help a bit.
I’ve tried it, and its no fun at all. With clear skies, and next to no wind I do a pretty good job of landing on the runway, and mostly straddling the centre line. But introduce any crosswind, and its a nightmare.
Any stick would be better than that.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help. I travel often and fly in the laptop. I don’t want to carey around any gear such as joystick.
Boing F/A Super hornet, Airbus A 310, Airbus A 320, DC 3 all very difficult to control with arrow up and down keys. Although very difficult, you can take off but landing is impossible. You can’t do nose up and down with any plane. So end up crushing or muss the airport. DC 3 goes all over the place during take off.
All the assistance options are off.
I fly Boing 747 and absolutely no problem controlling. I don’t get it why flying Boing is excellent but the others is impossible to control.
There simply isn’t enough nuanced control using keyboard to fly.
If you don’t want a joystick to carry when traveling, then get a Xbox style controller with a cable. That does work…at least to some degree.
It’s what I used for years with FS9 and FSX. But I did mostly GA airplanes or development work while on the road.
There are some 3D printed thingies that allow you to use an Xbox or similar joystick as a stick and throttle setup for flight simulators. Won’t be HOTAS of course but at least you’ll have a stick and throttle (and rudder in some I’ve seen).
Almost bought one just for kicks, but in the end found a good deal for the Saitek X52 Pro.
EDIT
Something like this:
I guess you could disassemble it for transport

The DC 3 is a tail wheel, so I would expect that to be difficult, if not impossible, without really good rudder pedals and yoke.
Although I’m surprised the A320 is difficult with the keyboard. That airplane is mostly self flying.
Unfortunately that is the fact, I will have to search for a mini joy stick
Yeah, the A320 to me feels like flying in “arcade mode” as the old flying games used to have.
The DC 3 is very graceful but still has tail wheel characteristics. Without some good assistance settings I just can’t see taking off or landing any tail wheel airplane with a keyboard! 
Xbox controllers are nice and natively pair with windows and the sim. I use one for drone camera work.
