Capturing user input.

Hi! Is it possilble to capture user input from a joystick? I know Kegetys made a tool that enabled us to capture user input through key commands. I bought ArmA 2 (arrived today) to give me something to do and I want to look at improving the flight model as a personal hobby. I don't want to try to do anything with an existing vehicle type however as the game's built in flight model will start making planes re-act in relation to its own rules when the user inputs a joystick command.

This won't work, I need to capture user input from a joystick, run the changes to the control surfaces (ailerons, elevators) through my own flight model calc engine and produce a resultant change in the vehicles's pitch bank and heading using the vector commands.

Anyone any idea how this is done? I know it can be, just not sure how yet.

Thanks!

if displaySetEventHandler works with joysticks you can use it..

sorry, i cant test that since i dont have a joystick.
