Any one else use a gamepad?
I just got a gamepad working for FL the other night... anyone else try it? It works pretty nice w/ dual analog! Steer w/ left stick, aim w/ right.

I have a Logitech Wingman Cordless Rumblepad... the wingman software worked! I just had to select the Freelancer .exe, map the right stick to the mouse (under "axis properties"... not "select assignment"
, and make some new assignments to get the left stick to the asdw keys as turn and pitch. pitch and turn is a little shaky, but I think I can get it working better. Is there a way to turn off the auto-levelling stuff? I thought there was... something in the .ini maybe? It interferes a bit.

Steering and aiming are the same thing when using mouse flight. In the menu for control configuration, you can see that you can configure keys for up/down/left/right turning (steering), which let you turn your ship independently of the mouse pointer.
There is indeed a control setting to toggle auto-leveling. I mapped it to L on my keyboard, and usually turn it off when I enter a fight and back on once I'm done.

i have an old wingman warrior which i used the logitech software to get running with freelancer....
only prob is that after many years of abuse, its lost spring tension, centering has gone, hat switch only works in 2 positions....too many probs to be effective
so i got myself a numeric keypad, remapped the essential keys to the keypad, and use it in my left....
just saving money so i can get a space-ball...
Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

Has anybody tried using a Sidewinder Gamepad or a Sidewinder Freestyle Pro? I don't have either, but I already have Sidewinder software for my Joystick and don't really want two gamepad system running in contrary to each other. But I like the idea of having one. Just want to make sure it works first.

Well I don't use a game pad but I have been using the Microsoft Strategic Comander. I'm still not where I want to be with it yet.... but am working on it ... I think it will serve me just fine once I get it fine tuned...
