Most joysticks and gamepads should work, and multiple joysticks (flight stick & pedals and whatnot) should work fine as well. When the game first launched, joystick and gamepad support was admittedly a little weak. Not long after launch, we completely overhauled the controller support and it should be much better now. We can't guarantee that all joysticks will work though. If for any reason you purchase the game and have trouble getting your joystick to work, you should be able to refund the game (just make sure you have less than 2 hours playtime). If you do buy the game, one thing that tends to trip people up sometimes is that there are no default keybindings for controllers, so you will need to go to the settings menu and configure all your axis and button bindings however you like.

The simulation code for the props take into account a lot of things. Its not just a simple 'move the plane forward' sort of approach. That being said though, prop wash[en.wiktionary.org] is not simulated in the game.

Technically,If you use an xbox 360 controller or a steam controller then yes,But you cant plug in more than 1 joystick at once for throttle and movement and other stuff,It would be impossible because you wouldnt be able to hold the like 5 joysticks or plug them all in,Because all standard PC's only have 4 ports at the front like mine,But if yours has more then go ahead and try

I got my Attack 3 flight stick to work about 99% (for some reason the game won't regester the 11 button, which only happens in simple planes)
