We're talking about using the IFI system here. Except for the dedicated radio connection, it doesn't have any serial inputs. The joystick ports are joystick ports, and must be directly connected to switches and variable resistors.

What would really be great is an OI that supports USB pointing devices. (Second best would be for someone to start supplying Flightsticks for the kit of parts again.)
