Can I use this controller in the place of a mouse and keyboard on SIM type games?

I do not believe so, unless the game has controller support, the analog sticks do not take the place or act as a mouse in any situation. This could vary widely on the game, but in most cases this answer will be no.

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard

Yes. Go to http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411&osid=14&bit=64 for the controller, click downloads in blue, and underneath the controller image you will be able to choose windows 8 (32 or 64 bit) for the drivers. I'm sure they are on the cd provided too. If not, you can just get them off the site.

The buttons will work as a controller, but you may have to reconfigure other games button assignments if they do not match Damage Inc.

Yes, but you need to find another driver to completely support this controller on PC.

As long as you have a USB 2.0 and you should be fine. Just when you go into the key bindings hit the button on the controller, I found it was as simple as that.

I can't say directly, but the controller does have two modes. If Ubuntu can handle either Xinput or DirectInput controllers, then in theory it should be use this controller (A quick Google search leads me to believe it has native Xinput support and you can get Directinput working using a Utility called xboxdrv).

Hi! You can use any pc available controller. I for one, use the 360 controller sometimes but my brother uses his ps3 controller and it works nice with both.

no. it's a xbox 360 controller that can also be used as a gamepad for your computer.

Yes, i use it for my warplanes on warthunder and it works like a ps3 controller would work, you just have to program the controls right

Yes, but please note that controller may not be compatible with all PS3 games.

There maybe a chance you could, my recommendation is go to saitek website go to the support tab and ask them if they have a software download that would allow you to map the controls for the game you want before you buy it. This way you don't have a paperweight that you paid for.

I use my wireless 360 controller and I am very pleased with it. Also it is compatible with most of the games out there so it is an option to consider if you don't have a controller yet.

Your keyboard will work, but's it fairly difficult trying to remember all the key commands. I highly recommend using a joystick over your keyboard though. Even an inexpensive joystick will be a lot more enjoyable. The sim itself has a ton to offer, so if your going to spend the money for the game, do yourself a favor and get a higher end control system. You'll be glad that you did.

I don't believe it may fully wotk out of box but a quick search yields this thread which may be worth a read:http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/Gamepad-f310-Mac-Compatibility-how-to-install-on-a-Mac/td-p/529274Some folks seem to have workarounds but a Mac might not read the X-input format, only traditional direct input. In other words you may be able to use the controller in one mode but not the other.

Check with Best Buys. I think the driving sims use a different controller.Fred

Yes, if you have a USB enabled XBOX(360/1) Controller. The game supports Game Controllers(USB Paddles,Console Controllers) with 360 Controls built in. - Although your accuracy will be much lower than mouse controls due to not having aim-assist in the PC Version.

I use an xbox controller. You can use one as long as it can hook up to your pc.
