F18 with Xbox controller

[erson]

I really like the game played for 5 hours so far and was planning to get the best of the best jet F18 but I don’t have Hotas also I’m just used to Xbox controller on most of my pc games  https://1921681001.id/

If I attach mini keyboard to the controller plus a mouse is it doable after following a YouTube guide ?

Should be doable but quite cumbersome I can imagine.

If you're new to the game, don't have a HOTAS, and not sure you want to fully commit, then I suggest getting a decent affordable joystick to get a good taste of it.
While doable, and from experience, I'd say to avoid a gamepad with DCS because it's just not immersive at all, you won't get anything close to the feel of a flight stick.

Something like the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick is just $35, and a nice starting point if you feel the investment on a HOTAS is too big at this point:

Hi, I also advise you not to use a controller with DCS
