    So... I don't really have money for a new joystick (have a fairly old Mircosoft Sidewinder, I believe), but I do have a Xbox 360 gamepad for Windows. Has anyone even tried to map controls? Is it even possible?

    If its not natively supported you could always use autohotkey,xmapper or something equivalent.

    Tzeentch I think uses a gamepad for war thunder (I think its a playstation one but might be xbox. But I'm leaning towards PS he uses.) and he says he always has to remap stuff. That might not be the case with the xbox one though if he uses the playstation gamepad.

    Thanks peoples! I might have to take a look at this. Might be more intuitive for me with a gamepad over mouse and keyboard
