Would a gamepad or joystick improve the handling of aircrafts in Just Cause 2 PC?
I love flying planes in Just Cause 2 but the keyboard controls are just binary so it's not very precise or "natural".
I wonder if I would really benefit from using a gamepad or joystick. Could I in particular have finer control of:
- thrust (you only have fast/slow with the keyboard)
- roll
- pitch
I do not currently own a gamepad (or joystick) so I'm thinking of buying one just for this game (on a Windows 8, 64-bit PC) but I won't if there's no real improvement.

Does Just Cause 2 have controller support?
Just Cause 2 doesn't support DirectInput, so only the 360 controller works. You can try something like Xpadder, it remaps keys on the keyboard to a gamepad, but then you won't have analogue control. The combat controls are much better on mouse and keyboard, but flying and driving are MUCH better with a gamepad sadly.HOW TO PLAY JUST CAUSE 2 AND ANY OTHER GAME WITH A USB PC CONTROLLER
