    ED was almost entirely workable with an X-Box controller. You could probably have a good time with two joysticks with a ton of buttons and a rudder pedal.

    But the damn problem is memorizing all the controls.

    Edit: Also you could use voice activated commands, but setting everything up was a like a hobby in itself.

      Yeah, E:D was workable with a controller, but cumbersome.

      I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a HOTAS set-up, but now I’ve hard-mounted my wheel that’s a bit less feasible.

        Hm. There are ways, I’m sure.

        I sat on a board and velcroed my joystick to it before I made a bracket under the seat to slide the board into…

        You can also recruit your pedals as inputs, if you’ve got 'em.
