External Inputs in Simulation

[EAButNotForGames]

Is there a way to control a simulation via an external device?
Lets say I have a state machine and I want to change its state with a button press on a joystick, plugged into the pc.
Can EA read that signal and use it in a simulation or is that utopian thinking?

Look at Using COM in the following page.

(Many years ago, I saw a demo of someone driving a radio controlled car from an EA simulation)

This is interesting. You didn't happen to know the name of the project?
