Has anyone with the steam edition tried this. (Found on reddit)
Use Steam edition of BF2042 for joysticks to function, with a specific setting: Steam Input Enabled. Then define layout of joystick controller as Ps4 and map your buttons to map defaults in game. You may need to start with clean profile (back up and delete old one in settings).
They need to address this issue in the next update and provide native joystick support.
I don't use a joystick in BF2042 (not a pilot) but have experienced similar problems in Racing Games which did not support joysticks. so I can fully understand your frustration.
Hope you and your family are all well again after catching covid. 🙂
