If you have a wired 360 controller you can plug it straight in, although you'll probably need to get drivers it should prompt you automatically. Wireless won't work with a charge cable, it has to be a wireless receiver; cunning, huh.
If you're having trouble with the default controls you can change the HOTAS axis functions at the bottom of the control setup page; I used this to put my rudders on the triggers, Over-G style, and throttle on mousewheel. If it reverses your rudders or puts the throttle backwards, pull the other trigger/scroll the other way when setting the control. This will show as a negative (-) axis ie '-Z axis' as opposed to 'Z axis'.
Not totally intuitive but it made a huge difference to my immediate enjoyment once I'd gotten it set up.
