If the stick is gameport, just plug it into the throttle and away you go. The best thing to do is get all of your stuff plugged in and recognized in the control panel, then select what you are actually going to use within aces high. For instance the stick I have plugged into the throttle is recognized but I just dont have anything mapped to it in AH. If you have a ch stick and pedals, I would use those, leave the ms plugged into the sfs throttle and just dont map anything to it.
What I do is set up the throttle/stick combo as a custom 4 axis 4 button with pov stick. The left throttle maps to the rudder, the right throttle maps to the 'throttle' and the stick is the stick (in the game I map them to throttle 1 and 2(inverted)). Within the game I am custom programming all the buttons including the 2 povs so I dont really care what they do at the OS level.
The MS usb stick is recognized and calibrated on its own.
Good luck.
