I have a working plugin for FL that maps joystick input so you can actually use joystick in addition to your mouse and keyboard.
It synths mouse and keyboard messages but with your joystick.

Given the nature of the FL control scheme it always came up second rate in combat.
Yup. Works great in games with fixed reticules, but in a game like Freelancer... they just don't work as well. That's why the turret steer suggestion is so neat. Lets you steer intuitively while still aiming with the mouse.
