I don't understand the problems you're having D00k, is it that it doesn't recognise your stick?
I had two particular control issues, one was Throttle mapping and the other was Pedals.
Neither worked properly even though I followed the instructions to the letter. For whatever reason, the game will not map pedals that are on two separate axes. It took me forever to figure out that I had to combine the pedals on one axis for the game to finally read anything other than “right full rudder”.
I don’t know if this is an issue with all pedals or just because I’m using my brake and gas pedals from my Momo?
Also, the game will not map my throttle properly no matter what I do. It always maps it inverted and it took me about half a dozen failed startups to realize it. I’d start up full throttle (unbeknownst to me) and then “right full rudder” into another 109.
This has been the most difficult control mapping I’ve yet experienced in a flight sim; Assetto Corsa runs a close second with configuring Track IR.
