Now that Apple allows joysticks to be connected to iPads (like the Nimbus), and that Infinite Flight has joystick support (Android version works with joysticks that are plugged into the phone), shouldn’t a joystick connected through cable or Bluetooth to the iPad theoretically work on Infinite Flight?
I know that I’ve read things about this in the past, but Apple and Infinite Flight were different then.
Thanks.

The Nimbus connects wirelessly as far as I can recall, which is completely different to a wired joystick connection.
I haven’t heard anything about Apple adding support for USB HIDs like joysticks in iOS (in all honesty, I’d be surprised if Apple did that), so unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this will be the case.

Yes, Cameron is absolutely correct. Bluetooth joysticks had been working for as long as I remember, but there has never been an allowance for USB joysticks. To be honest, I would pay Apple $1B if I had that kind of money.
Thanks for making a great app so all us Apple users can fly with joysticks
@RealAviation1974 they already have enough money. Lol

A headset isn’t the same as a joystick, though - I think the reasons headsets are supported is because of the lack of headphone jack on newer iPhone models (the drivers exist for sound input/output via this interface).
Apart from that, cameras/multimedia storage is supported for importing into Photos app, but other devices aren’t.
