The game is fully playable with a standard joystick with 2 buttons, but we
recommend you have at least a 4 button joystick.

For best results you should use a more advanced joystick, such as Microsoft
Sidewinder, (the stick twist is an excellent feature and very useful in
I-War), CH Products, Thrustmaster, and Saitek.

We tend to use the Sidewinder here for testing, but at home I use a CH
Products Flightstick pro, Pro Throttle and Rudder Pedals, as it has more
buttons and a separate throttle.

Best regards,
