Hi, love your game! Regarding the gamepad support, I have a few additional suggestions:
- right stick for camera rotation in top-down view (like the arrow keys)
- add a 'focus dot' in the middle of the screen when viewing the map, which acts as the 'cursor' so that country names and highlighting works
- support for menu navigation
Control changes (subjective):
- using triggers to zoom in/out in map mode
- using bumpers to cycle between flight modes
