They won’t reply
They will eventually sort it, but historically it’ll be when they are sure that as many Xbox controllers as possible will have been purchased. That’s clearly an agreement they have with Microsoft
It’s bloody sad on dices part that they would treat the PC community like this, but they do it with every new release now sadly.
You’d expect better, but you won’t get it.
There fix some issus with the XBox controller on PC. What crap. I think more people wanna play with a joystick than with a damn controller from a console…
I am extremely disappointed that there is actually a dedicated xbox style controller section on a PC game but absolutely NO support for a flight stick. If flying were just a part of a single campaign mission I could understand, but flying planes is a MAJOR part of the game. Why on earth would Dice ignore this?
Purely for a payment from Microsoft
There is no other reason
Dice as always remain silent, totally disrespecting the people who made them the force they are today
Previously stated by DICE numerous times. “Thank you all for the input and support”. Yeah… hey thanks for selling us out on PC for console junkies and giving us the leftovers…
Saitek Cyborg Evo 2 please 
? All modern pc games have Xbox Controller support. It has been known as part of the WIN10 initiative. We just need more modern joysticks.
Anyone try this?
There is no reason they did not include USB joystick support other than to punt out Xbox controllers
We shouldn’t have to run emulation software on a £100+ title.
Dice need to step up and fix it.
The most annoying part about it was they deliberately included the joystick area but greyed it out in the beta to give everyone the impression joysticks would be supported
It’s a really poor showing by Dice, they ought to apologise frankly to everyone affected
Really…do we need more modern keyboards and mice???
As far as the emulator for the joysticks…was there not a question about it being considered a hack…and yet no response from EA/DICE.
I also don’t think the MODERATORS (@StarscreamUK) should not try to to tell us, THE CUSTOMER, how we should use the game pad instead of a joystick. Why not also tell us how to play the game.
If this is not fixed, I will not purchase any more EA/DICE games. I guess they do not care about the customer.
EA/DICE…man up and tell us what the future will be…RESPOND
Yes please put joystick controls, Will never get any plane kills unless im a gunner while people are flying that can fly. Sucks when they jump out and screens says accident when you die.
I’ve tried x360CE with many other steam games for using another gamepad IPEGA. It works 100% fine. Now i got a 360 controller and i miss the buttons from the ipegga to increase or decrease the volume of game :D.
Must try the 360 controller with bf… planes are going to be much more easier to me cause i’ve played a lot on PS3 
This
Just hope it comes some time soon, nobody in their right mind flys with a XBOX Controller!
New Update. Slowly reading the changelog, hoping they added support for joysticks…NOPE!
lol why did they bother to leave the joystick bindings in there if it’s not supported?
I 'Me too’d this bug report.

How annoying, so the simply don’t deem it important enough to have in on day one, when we all want it… muppets
Count me among the users here highly surprised and disappointed that there isn’t any joystick support. DICE forgetting their roots or something?? This is a PC game! I know the consoles are big business, but this franchise started on PC! And really, there isn’t any good excuse.
In the meantime, I’m using an Xbox One controller just for the planes, but of course it isn’t the same. Better than mouse and keyboard, which is a terrible way to fly.
They better patch it in soon.
yeah and as a punishment bring force feedback working too!
Unbelievable. I have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, probably the most common joystick out there, and it doesn’t work with this game! Had no problems using it in 3, 4 or Hardline (used another stick in 1942 and 2 - I’ve been flying jets and helis in these games for forever). It’s really sad that DICE has turned their back on the PC players like this.
I posted during the closed beta that joystick support had better be in the full game. I made sure to repeatedly mention that in all the surveys and feedback reports I filled out. I guess they don’t really read that stuff.
so this turned up on google watch…

I am not sure when we will see it.
