Joystick/Flight Stick Support For Aircraft?

I have noticed that since after BF4, there was no support for flight sticks. They have kept the controller or keyboard for flying only. Since the talks of BF going back to their roots of the older games, I would like to see support of Flight sticks brought back as well. Is there a possibility to bring that back as well?? Nothing like getting into a heated air combat and being able to pull some amazing maneuvers...

  • Yeah, I want this too ! I've always used my VKB Gladiator NXT Evo to flight planes and helicopters in BF3/4, I want that back ! It must not be a big deal to program that...

  • The joystick input doesn't seem to work with certain joysticks. It doesn't recognise my Winwing Ursa Minor, for instance. Nor does it recognise vJoy inputs. 

  • I have a solution for this. If you bought the game through steam, you can use steam input. You can set up your joystick as a standard controller and just map the pitch, yaw, and roll to any of the axies that are available on the controller. then map the rest of the controller buttons to any other buttons on your stick. Then in bf6 just go in and adjust the controller settings and remap the inputs as desired.

    I have done this to great success with my VKB gunfighter pro and it makes it legitimately so much more fun to fly.

    Beware though that sometimes this will cause your spawn screen to switch to controller mode and you wont be able to use your mouse to choose where to spawn sometimes.
