DOS Games under XP

[paoloricardo]

I'm currently running XP SP2 and have some DOS flight sims I'd like to
run. I have DOS Box available which, I presume, will allow me to run
the sims. However, will I be able to use a joystick? Will XP/DOS Box
sense the presence of the joystick?

Thanks

I believe the joystick has to be setup in Windows for DOSBox to detect it.
most joysticks work fine under Windows XP, just check Gaming Controllers in
your control panel.
