I've experimented a bit with xpadder (mouse emulation through gamepad)
It lets you setup a desirable way of control for every button, also setup the left stick as a view stick.
But i found out that even with most sensitive settings reaction speed was lower than with the native controls.
So as for now i prefer the native controls, even when it's seriously flawed.
I can live with the absence of 360view, sniper mode & d-pad controls in favor of a little edge in reaction time.
I've tried joystick only a couple of times but in my case i prefer gamepad due to my setup.
1.9 gamepad controls could be better than a joystick, but ever since 2.0 i think a joystick would be better if your setup allows it.
Anyway i'm just glad to fly again from time to time.
As i proposed some time back, you have a mobile app which imo offers no real added value atm. Add a rearviewmirror option (let your mobile device function as an ingame mirror) to that app and it would make a lot of joystick- & gamepadusers happy, without even tackling the current flaws in these controls.
