You can do it, but its a long painful process

You have have you stick/throttle programed as "key pushes" What you have to do is then go into the game and change all of the default settings.
On your throttle, say the center button is programed as a "k", now you want to use that to look up. In the game, click on keymapping, then views, scroll down to "look up". Double click it and then select the "k" key. It will ask you is you want to replace the map with the new one ....the "k", say yes and them "ok" on the map control. Hit the center button on your throttle and you should have the view up.
The painful part of this is you have to do every button this way. If you do it, write them all down because if you loose the mapping for some reason you'll have to do it all over again... twice as painful
