A Joystick can be used to control your aircraft in the simulator or via the modem [[Subsystem/radio_control#Datalink\|using radio_control type datalink]] in real flight using [[Input2Ivy]].

			'''Note:''' Currently (Feb 2016) [[Input2Ivy]] accesses Linux joystick drivers in a way that the sticks are read with deadband. Using [https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk jstest-gtk] shows the correct values without deadband. Having the deadband makes a flight with a quadcopter very difficult, because the micro-adjustments are not possible. Fixedwing should be fine, because it has slower dynamics. Tested with [https://github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/OpenTX-USB-Joystick Taranis 9xd].
