This is one of my favorite games. I still occasionally play it on a Nintendo 64, but the N64 controller isn’t great and I can’t easily screen capture gameplay.
I own the game on Steam, but playing it with a mouse and keyboard feels very clumsy. Is the Xbox controller support for this game actually functional and decent feeling?
I can confirm that the game works with a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick and have played the game to 100% that way. Mind you, that was in 1999 on Windows 98.
I’ve not tried it with an Xbox controller since, but my (now rather old) Sidewinder still works with the version of Rogue Squadron I got from GOG. Make of this what you will!
