How to configure Joystick for flying?

Hey folks,

I need some help to get my joystick (Saitek X52) to work properly. To those of you who use a joystick in BF 5, how did you configure your stick and does it work 100%? I know DICE givesa s*** about PC gamers, as they don't seem to be supporting josticks officially, but some people seem to have no problems, so I'd like to get mine to work too.

Thanks in advance.

  • hey bud, im using a joystick and it works incredibly.
    under keybinds the 3rd column is set for joystick imput keybinds.
    KEY*** make sure youre joystick is plugged in BEFORE starting battlefield***********

    you can even use youre joystick throttle for vehicle gas pedal control and soldier walking speed control.

    In my opinion, battlefield has always had superb support for joystick control.
    good luck.


  • Thanks a lot for your reply!

    I have no problem setting the joystick axes and buttons in the settings menu, but they don't work 100%. I can't use the aileron and the elevator at the same time. When I pull up the aircraft turns with its maximum rate, but as soon as I try to roll while doing so, both rolling and pulling up work at 10% of their maximum rates (at most).

    Can you use aileron and elevator simultaneously?
