Will my old RealFlight G3.5 controller work, more or less, with Aerofly RC 7?
I've confirmed it works with the Windows version of PicaSim and RealFlight G3.5 so I know it is functional and can perform as an RC flight controller.
Old RealFlight RC Flight Controller Compatible?

If it is listed as a USB device in your "Devices and Printers" it should be usable with the Aerofly RC 7.
So far anything I plugged into my USB ports as a joystick also worked in Aerofly RC 7. You could also try to search the forums (top right magnifier glass) and see if anything related to the Realflight controllers can be found.
When it doubt maybe try to find a person or local hobby shop that has the Aerofly running and test it there before purchasing it. If you buy Aerofly RC 7 via Steam I think you can return it easily within two hours of game time but I've never done something like that myself, users of the Aerofly FS 2 have reported that it is possible to do that via Steam. So read the paragraphs of your license before purchasing it, when you plan to immediately return Aerofly if your controller isn't working.
I hope that was useful, maybe admin can add more once he returns from vacation. Maybe drhotwing1 (IPACS) also knows something about this.

Hi guys,
I can use my rc controllers as well, one with an USB cable, the other even without cable having an USB receiver device.
The important point is, as Jan stated already:
It must be recognized by Windows as a game device. Proprietary cables of rc flight simulators may not have this function.
So plug in your cable and controller and check the windows devices. This is also the place where you can calibrate your input device.

Thanks.

I looked thoroughly for 3 - 4 minutes for a forum search function and didn't see it. Can't believe I missed it, but there it is. I was blind to it for some reason.
