Joystick Support
I'm considering pre-ordering as I have for past Battlefield games but wanted to know more about any details regarding support for joysticks. I find flying with them is much better but support for the...

Installed update 4.
Zero HOTAS/Joystick support.
You had almost 6 months DICE/Ripple
SIX MONTHS.
It seems extremely elementary to include at least key-binding for additional controls aside from primary.
Nope...nada.
My logitech 3d wingman joystick works fine now. They have a section in option now that says joystick since 4.0 patch. I am able to bind all my joystick controls there. The problem i see is that for the PoV N, S, E, W you have to hold the middle mouse button still. I don't see any way to stop having to hold the middle mouse button in order to get it to work? Anyone find a work around yet for freelook controls? So check again. Mine works fine.
wait I shouldn't tell possible enemy pilots of ways of having an advantage over me. Stupid me 😉....
I can set the joystick buttons but nothing works in game. Any tips?
This is the same problem I have. Some of the most common sticks are being force-recognized as X-input and they are not.
Tried:
X52
X52 Pro
G27 Logitech wheel (x-input for steering is the only thing that works, none of the buttons work)
Now BF2042 supports joystick im so happy

It's refreshing to hear good news, glad it's working out for you, enjoy 😉
Tried with the X52 pro.
It still does not work.
I have an Xbox Series X controller for use for ground vehicles and an x52 pro for planes/choppers.
The X52 pro still does not work, you cannot assign buttons. It conflicts with mouse and keyboard.
I don't know why this is so hard to fix. This is the only software where the x52 is not recognized. It's asinine.
The X52 is perhaps the most common flight stick.
Video showing that X52 pro does not work.

- @GasStationPizzas This is my issue too. Worked fine in 4 & V, even in Star Wars Squadrons. No matter what I turn off or disable, it insists on acting like a mouse and causing a non-stop pirouette. TBH though the Logitech software for the X52 is far less useful than the previous SD6 Saitek software.
I even tried blanking the profile tool in the case that was conflicting.
Nothing.
I have moved on from this game. It was a bust. Arguably the worst of the series ever. The ineptitude of the developers to pay attention to previous games is crazy.
I grew somewhat hopeful with Joystick support, but appears to be lip-service.

Also uses Saitek x52 pro.
That was one of the reasons why I did not buy the game. It's ridiculous that it's still not fixed.

I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and it's been working fine so far; I don't know why one joystick would work but another doesn't?
@Ironhead841Yeah it is strange isn't it, and very frustrating for those unable to play.
- @Ironhead841 Maybe I’ll dig out my old 3D Pro. The X52 is so much better but I cannot figure out how to fly jets with mouse + keyboard. Helis sure, but I lack the dexterity I guess. I’m getting old ya know? 😉
Hell man I can barely pilot anything WITH a joystick, lol.
