How many of you are using gamepads...

i was tempted to get a stick for this game, but having read this message board decided against it.
the pad is great on the aviator setting...just really beeds the throttle to be setable and to have a zoom button and it be perfect for sim mode. you do wonder why the developers seem to have gone out of their way not to make any option quite right...its by design id say. thats why for the ps3 i use a mappable controller to get more or less the avitor settings but with throtttle and zoom adaptions.
