This is a 'feature' and not a problem.  You have to drive using W for forward, S for stop/back, A for left, and D for right.  Alternatively you can map those four commands to buttons on your joystick.  You can no longer use the stick or rudder pedals to drive a gv.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

It's not that bad.  WASD keys mapped to the castle switch on my throttle works great.  Joystick still works to sling the turret around and shoot the gun.  I do wish I could still steer with my rudder pedals...oh well.

If true, that's unfortunate. I bought a high end Joystick, throttle and rudder pedals so that I wouldn't have to keep going to the keyboard for controls. Call it the immersion factor if you want. The more controls I map to the joystick or throttle units the quicker and easier I can operate them.
I will get use to not having a driver position and the new sights but having to use A, S, D,W, etc., seems like a big step backwards. That's how games were in the 80's and 90's.

The disappearing stick mappings have to do with a device being plugged into the USB bus, which is not a stick/input device (example, a USB headset).  This problem will be addressed in a patch, soon.

I don't know if this will help but:

Ive got 1 usb hub with pedals, mouse, and a joystick. I have another joystick and the keyboard plugged in directly. I have control map alzheimers now and wanted to let you know as unless the hub is a non input device I don't have any non input devices on the usb bus.

I have always (since november 2010) had a quirk where my pedals are not recognized by AH on startup, if I unplug replug they would work fine.

Keep up the good work

P.S. Its a Vista basic machine, I can't at this time justify buying either win7 or a new machine so there you go.  I like the fact that I can run AH on it unlike a lot of sims.

1) how do you map the ADSW to joystick?
2) theres something different in the new version command, machine gun view from the old version view from machine gun on panzer etc. Every time Im driving now I get motion sickness, and that hasnt happened in more than 5 years of playing with these tanks..suggestions? :ahand :bhead
