The trick is to edit MyDefUser.ini located in the System folder of the game install folder. This is on most people's PCs at C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Advent Rising\System. *Important* make a backup of this file, and don't edit DefUser.ini. It is possible to make a mistake and prevent the game from loading at all (I've done it).
In order to get the left stick to control movement and the right to control camera (Halo style) make sure the JoyR-JoyZ read as follows.
JoyU=AxisRaw aLookup SpeedBase=3 DeadZone=0.25
JoyR=AxisRaw aTurn SpeedBase=3 DeadZone=0.25
JoyX=AxisRaw aStrafe SpeedBase=300.0 DeadZone=0.25
JoyY=AxisRaw aForward SpeedBase=300.0 DeadZone=0.25 Invert=-1
JoyV=
JoyZ=
They'll be spread all over the place, I suggest you delete them all and add in the ones above so they are grouped together.
A *huge* annoyance is that whenever you go to the Joystick tab of the Controls settings inside the game it reverts the JoyV and JoyZ settings hosing things and making you do the spinny thingy again. It happens even if you don't touch a setting on that page. Once this happens you have to quit the game, edit MyDefUser.ini to clear out the JoyV and JoyZ values, finally reload the game (and sit through the 4 intro screens *again*). The lesson here is fix the sticks LAST, make sure all your other controls are just the way you want them.
