I'm about to purchase a local gamepad, I'm thinking if it will function or at least like a joystick? It's a USB gamepad. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ok my last and simple question, will a usb gamepad work with FS9? That's the last thing running through my mind if I'm about to get one.

Yes, a long time ago I used an action recoil one, I think that's what it was called, how else would you connect it to the computer?

Answer: Yes. I often use an Xbox 360 controller and it works well. Great fun too
