I've tired playing it with a joystick too, but have not gotten it to work. I'm not sure it can use one.

I know someone that does play it with a joystick while flying. It's always been to awkward for me and I've just learned to fly with the keyboard....

 

I'll see if he can help ya.

Your looking into it too hard. I've used every $20 Wal-Mart special under the sun for BF2. Last one I used was/is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. A simple and effective joystick, no need for a bunch of binds as this is pure arcade style flying. Simply go in and change key settings by pressing the button/moving the axis on your joystick that correlates to what you want to do. I had my fixed wing binds set up exactly like my rotary wing binds, chaff, maxed out my yaw, etc. Mainly being a FPS type, I have throttle bound to "W" and afterburners bound to "Shift". Lastly, I bind TS to my joystick so I don't have to use the mouse or keyboard to speak. You can customize your binds for every vehicle in BF2 in about five minutes. I was going to try my x-52 out on BF2, but never got around to it. Personally, I prefer the cheap ones over the x-52 because it has way too much play in it. Lack of precise control is a crashed whirly bird on BF2....but you'll respawn again in 10 sec, so there's plenty of time to get the hang of it. Hope this helps.
