i am sure you can but why the hell would you want to?
This game is a flight sim, use a joystick or hotas system

Map the important controls you'll need besides control, like throttle, prop pitch, and radiator. Also gun trigger and bomb drop. There are a lot of people with that stick, so you may luck out finding a profile here:

Yeah, if you're good at the X360 already, it really wouldn't be that bad. If you don't mind mapping engine controls on your keyboard it'd be fine.

Set the XBox360 controller bindings up in half an hour, launched multiplayer, and landed the Spitfire on the first try! Bindings are in the movie description.

@Doggystyler, copy/paste the contents into notepad and save as X360.ini file (name doesn't matter really) in C:\Users\"Your Computer"\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

Then open the file in your controls menu and apply.

This should be the first line, without quotes: ";INI File: X360.ini"

cant even restore default controls ♥♥♥♥

Shucks man. To get your defaults back, load confuser.ini from your controls menu.
If you somehow overwrote it, you can delete it (make a backup), and run steam's file integrity check for Blitz. It should redownload the file again.
*edit: Just updated the guide for using a blank file to set things up. Had fun flying SP Beaufighter mission using those bindings.

You toss it aside and get an X56 or at the very least some other decent cheap hotas like a thrusmaster afterbuner II . :) I can't even picture the horror of flying on a gamepad. You'll get creamed in any dogfight by the majority who use proper sim controls.
