Recently purchased XWA from GoG.
How do i play with out a joystick? On launch the game says a joystick is required, please show me how to edit or mod the game to run with kb+m.
thanks.
Edit: I have also installed the 1.6 upgrade from this site.

Download the ddraw files from here and place them in your XWA folder: https://github.com/rdoeffinger/xwa_ddraw_d3d11/releases

It should automatically allow the mouse to be used.

What files? There are 3.

ddraw.pdb

xwing_ddraw_d3d11_1.5.9.zip

xwing_ddraw_d3d11_1.5.9.zip.asc

I extracted and put all 3 in the folder and it still said i need to connect a joystick. Just reinstalled the game again.
