Greetings,
You can use all the channels on your transmitter, if you use your transmitter. The "joystick" refers to the game commander that came with the program, or your computer's joystick.
I don't recognize the term "universal interface."
Regards.

christophemalpa,
An analog interface, which uses PC's game port, is limited to only 4 proportional channels. This is a limitation of the game port itself, which only has 4 ADCs.
USB joysticks don't have such a limitation, they may implement as many proportional channels as needed. Take a look at MiliHighWings USB interface:
www.milehighwings.com
It offers up to 7 proportional channels and can be used with AeroFLY Pro as a secondary interface. I've used this interface with AFP and I was able to assign all 7 channels to different controls (AeroFLY Pro is much more flexible than RealFlight in this aspect).
Mike,
"Universal interface" isn't a strict term or a trade name of any particular TX-to-PC interface. One may call so an interface, which works with different simulators, thus emphasizing the fact that this is not a propriatory interface like FMS-only cables.
Keep 'em flying,
Boris
