So my joystick has been in storage so imagine my dismay when I installed CloD and found my joystick was broken - snapped off at the base frown Can't really afford a new one til next payday either (damned MOT repairs this month mad) so in the meantime I want to play using my Xbox 360 controller for Windows.

With the game officially supporting the joystick I held a faint hope it would auto-recognise and configure the controller (as many other games do) but no such luck.

Does anyone have any advice on configuring this controller?

You should be able to map it in the controller section. For the basic stuff I would put rudders on the triggers, throttle up/down on the bumpers, machine guns on A and go from there for whatever else you need. If you can't get it to configure in game you could always try XPadder or something similar for creating a map for the game.

Game doesn't recognise rudders frown

Oh well, I'll have to buy a joystick on the ol' credit cards then :P

Thanks anyway!

can you bind rudders to left/right on one of the stick? like an R/C Aeroplane?

I could but I think I'll wait for the joystick anyway - just ordered a Speedlink BlackWidow. Simple enough for my needs. I'm not a pro-simmer :P

The game isn't running well on my rig so hopefully it'd be patched before my joystick arrives. Just needs SLI fixing, I think.

Maybe this utility is worth a look?

It allowed me to use a Logitech wheel combo in MafiaII, but I guess it'll help in your situation too?
