Here's how it works in theory...
I say "In theory" because my PT USB is giving me fits (configures just fine, but the virtual joysticks I set up in the control manager refuse to show up under gaming options)
Map the x & y of the mini-stick to be, say x & Y of Joystick 3. Once that's done go into AH Joystick setup. CLick on Select Joystick and you should see a couple of Joysticks in there (I don't, because of the gaming options hosage I mentioned before)
Just assign the 2nd joystick's X & Y to the view 'pitch & yaw' controls.
Voila! The min stick should now work as an analog view control.
