Rotating

Hi!

First of all, I come from Germany so my englisch may not be that good.

I have started playing this game yesterday and must say that it is very interesting. But I also have a problem. Is it not possible to completely rotate my ship in space, like in other space simulators (Wing Commander)? I can fly forward (w), backwards (s), and sideways (a,d). But what about up and down or diagonal? The ship only rotates when I activate an autopilot. Right now I am at the beginning of the game (training). And because of this weird movement of my ship I just can not get past the first training excercise (fly through the rings in 3 minutes). Am I just too stupid to play this game or are there some movements that I have not discovered yet? I do not have the game manual because I bought this game together with a games magazine. And the readme file does not help me with this problem.

I hope that my english is good enough to understand, and that someone here can help me.

Greetings to all IW2 Fans!
