I use a 360 controller with Elite Dangerous and it is awesome. Advanced Controls 2.

Basically it uses combo buttons to get everything necessary done. Landing Gear? A -> RB. Frame shift? X -> left d-pad. Target subsystem? B -> down dpad

You get used it, playing final fantasy 14 with is where I learned about combo buttons.

I'm confused why the 2nd joystick doesn't work, there are settings for it in the controller menu to strafe.

Having to use a 3rd party program (xpadder) to get x3tc to work is unacceptable.

Game looks great on a 90" eyefinity setup, now if only it had proper controller support.

UPDATE: It doesn't look like the game supports advanced controller techniques. It doesn't allow CTRL combos like CTRL-J, only shift combos, and even then, if I could do right shift left shift, right ctrl left ctrl combos, then I could use xpadder.

There is something like 42 button maps on a x360 controller. in xpadder this is accomplished with Set Selectors.
