sure it is! -
well...the correct answer is actually yes...but it's tricky to get it just right.
you'll need a joystick that gives you the ability to customize EVERY key you use including whatever you use for thrust/directionals/strafing...
even with the keys mapped...it's hard to get the fluidity of the mouse for movement...which makes dogfighting and navigating in general a bit tiresome.
there ARE some joystick customization programs that will allow you to set up a certain number of keystrokes within a specified timeframe....which i think you could use with the "turn left/right" and "pitch up/down" hotkeys in game to get a smoother mouse replacement...but i haven't really looked into it.
i ended up going back to mouse and keyboard, and couldn't be happier.
look into getting a mouse with more programmable buttons...it might make the setup more joystick-like without taking the time to fine tune the custom keystroke configs.

Yes, the mod is compatible with a joystick... and in the options, there are 2 collumns of key settings for that reason, to include joystick ones as secondary keys. But it's a bit nasty using a joystick at this game.... even you can use joystick+keyboard (right + left hand fore each one)... but still... mouse is more 'sensitive' and it will be hard to target somebody without the mouse. IMO
Bond, don't answer where you don't know, you're still young here.
