well if you could get the left or right analog to simulate the mouse im sure it would be very possible... wether or not it is effective is a different matter, it would be tricky to aim and dodge etc, you would most likely only be able to do one at a time, though your aim would most likely sky rocket with a controller
you would become easy prey (licks lips evily), but cool idea. I tried Freespace 2 for a while and used the joystick. I couldn't steer and shoot at the time time, and i could barely ever hit, the mouse is way better. If you used the controller, you would have a massive dis-advantage from us, but cool idea.

I had the idea for a while about using a combo of joystick/mouse for playing but you'd have to be pretty damn good at multitasking to do that=P
Basically you'd hook up the joystick and set game controls so that it handles the pitch left/right/up/down/strafe/etc, while the mouse would be left free for aiming. That way you could aim seperate of your movement instead of using 'mouse flight' - could be an advantage if you get good at it but it wouldnt be easy to do.
There are usb adapter cables for sale that allow you to use a Xbox360 on the pc, then it's all about mapping the controls. Don't know how effective or usable it will be though
