In the release notes of the latest version I read joystick support is added to the Windows 8 version.
However, I can't get it to work.
I have a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X V.2 joystick.

How do I turn joystick support on?

Kind regards,

Rem.

I bought Windows 8 just to play DF on my big-screen TV via hdmi.
I bought a Saitek Cyborg V6 joystick just to play DF on my sopha.
I bought a bag to put the notebook and the joystick into it, just to wait for a phantom-free version of the game.

I took the RED PILL!

Hi,
I try yesterday to use joystick (device, speedlink) with dogfight without success.
Is it possible to use one to control the game?
How?

Got a Logitech Extreme 3d pro, Z, but it also will not work with my Win8 computer...

Any and all hints as to how to hook this up will be appreciated.

Hi,

I got Speedlink dark tornado,
Is detected in win 8.1, it is showing in Windows Game Controllers.
It does not work in Dogfight.

It is a USB joystick.

What joysticks did you use Zuperman?

Only Xbox Controllers work with Dog fight (like most apps). Is it possible there's some limitations with brands and compatibility with Joysticks as well?

I've got an email from unity, it seems to be a problem on their end and only xbox controllers are detected properly when you download the game from the store.

They are working on a fix, from their email:
"Hello,

We have been able to reproduce this bug and have sent it for resolution with our developers."

Hopefully in the next update this is taken care

I tried a Logitech attack 3 joystick, it partially works with the training sessions but not with the online game...

The buttons are preset on Xbox controllers in Dogfight. If you do find a program to remap them they still trigger the games default action as well as whatever was mapped.
How will Joysticks work? Will they be preset, or will you be able to fully customize them, or a combination of both?

Zuperman do you have an idea how long until the update addressing joysticks might be released?
