Joystick?

Is freelancer compatible with a joystick, cause I was gonna buy one just for fun but I don't want to buy it and not have it work with my favorite space flight game freelancer!

the answer is no its not compatable though it can be made to work (very poorly)
though believe me its not worth the effort

Welcome

However () there are a few no-no's. This is one, best ship threads are another. Stay clear of such things and ul be fine.

Wow, haven't seen this topic brought up in a while.

I'll be a bit nicer and say that the mouse system is inherent to the game engine. However, some people have mapped gamepads to the mouse movements and some have even made configuration edits to game files to allow Joystick support. Unfortunately I don't recall where one can get the replacement files to accomplish this. If you scroll through the last year of Lancers Reactor posts in General Editing and look at all the Joystick threads, perhaps you'll come across it. Maybe not.
