Privateer was a DOS game, and this version runs in DOSBOX. DOSBOX will pick up your default game controller, and Privateer can make use of it. It works with my 360 controller. I have XPadder installed, though it is not needed for this game w/ DOSBOX. There is no force feedback that I'm aware of.
Whatever you have hooked up, It will only use one joystick (for pitch and yaw) and two buttons on the primary controller. Button one fires guns, button two gives you roll control with the joystick, and button one+two launches a missile.
Everything else is going to be controlled on your keyboard. If you want to bind extra buttons on your controller to keyboard commands with XPadder, you can do that.

Thanks a bunch for this. I hadn't even considered using a gamepad. Using the MotionJoy Windows driver, I'm now using a PS3 controller in 360 Mode and it works like a charm. Much appreciated. :)

If you want, for example, to use your third gamepad-button to fire missiles, you click on return (which is fire a missile) and then on Add. Now press the gamepad-button you want to assign to this function an finally click save.

Another option is to use Xpadder and set a deadzone for each of the affected inputs. Note that you'll need to unmap the affected inputs through DOSBox's mapper (Ctrl+F1) to avoid conflicts.
