morning folks.can you used a joypad on pc games instead of the keyboard.i really dont like using the keyboard.yesterday i bought black hawk down it appears you have to use the keyboard.is there any way of changing the controls so you can use the joypad.i find this problem aswell with online games too. cheers rob

course you can.. the problem you get with good flight sim games is theres hundreds of functions to control, even with a good joystick+throttle+rudder pedals connected theres still loads of other stuff to control on the keyboard.. great fun tho when you sort it all out.. my buddies and i play "lock on" and "sturmovik" and we used play "gunship" heli sim all multi player.. jeeeez what a giggle..

You can also use an Xbox360 controller. They work great.

Game on!

hahaha its not what your thinking jim .its just another name for the hand held control you use for playing computer games (joystick is another term).

Of course you can , you can even use the a joypad if the game doesn't support it directly , can't remember the name of the program but it just remaps the keyboad's keys to the joypad.

Get the XBOX 360 controller for PC... probably the best analog controller available today. Works great with simulators, including FSX.
