Joystick Support

Hi All

I know the game was designed without joystick support but I have a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI) which makes it painful for me to use the mouse as a primary controller. Are there any patches available? Or are Microsoft planning to release one?

If not, is there another type of controller that anyone can recommend which would help will my problem.

Regards and good hunting

there are ways but the result is crap you would be better using the mouse in your other hand than trying them

Yup, see this:

I have some problems too, I was considering a cordless mouse and try to experiment with odd angles for the pad.
What I do now is wear a sports pad tht goes full forearm length and spreads the weight.
