No Joystick-Support for Planes on Early Access

we still waiting....

I know you folks at DICE have a burgeoning customer base in the console market,  I get it.

but BATTLEFIELD is a passion for many many gamers out there,   and has been since 1942.   the physics, the flight dynamics,  the sheer mastery of the flight skills involved.

joysticks were heralded,  and the jockeys of the PC world were in some blissful heaven,  every time the pirouetted an a apache in a spiral to come hovering over a helipad to repair.      remember the desert combat mod?  that was PC stick flight to the max!

I truly get why you are paying so much attention to the console market..  that's where the really big revenue is..

but your faithful,  you devoted,  and your most loyal of battlefield soldiers cut their teeth on mastering stick flight..    

we created the community,  we helped create the enterprise battlefield has become.

don't let us down now..

please implement joystick mapping..  it's really not that hard,   and your biggest fans will love you for it.

then may even buy your *next* game..

Add Joystick Support or loose out on me and my 35 person clan buying bf1.       joystick support is the only reason we were looking at BF1 over the new Call Of Duty.

Correct Joystick support making in BF1, is not a big deal. So DICE please come on  WE NEED IT.

This is not a technical issue that fellow gamers can help each other with. This is feedback, a feature request and thus belongs on the forums at:

Not only joystick support has been dropped, but even with x360CE emulator key mapping for vehicles don't work correctly. DICE you're starting to loose many PC players = pro players = market influencers, so please remember this is not FIFA or PES nor a car simulator, bring back joystick support, that's not so hard to do

wtf.... i bought this game thinking the greyed out joystick section was just because it was the beta...... i bought a new joystick for this game. this is pathetic and false advertising if they have joystick menus but than do not support them.... wtf...

Carbonic, gamers can help each other by suggesting the use of xe360ce or any other dinput to xinput versions. They will come here thinking it's a broken feature, because the very fact that it's marked as "customizable" and has the same keybinding UI as before has made people think it was just like previous Battlefield games. People have posted saying "Why are my options greyed out" etc.

However, here are threads on it in the main forums per your suggestions:

Well I will be getting my refund shortly before the 24 hour mark

im not paying over £100 for a game that won't support my joystick but expects me to fly a biplane

its a bloody stupid oversight on dices part and one that they will be able to count the cost of

none of my clan will buy it if it doesn't support sticks, simply because that is what we all, without exception use.

your very silly Dice if you have missed this one
