I have tried the "Gameplay feedback issues" forum but not had much success so I will repost here in the hope for an answer.

"I would find it a lot more useful if the joystick mapping etc. could be applied on a vehicle/plane basis rather than a global setting. I know it would be a pain initially havind to setup the sticks for each individual plane or tank etc. However I think it would be more flexible in the long run. I started thinking about this a while back when I was sick of using the joystick Y axis to control vehicle throttle and brake. I have a perfectly good CH Pro Thottle which I would prefer to control a tanks accelerator with. I could use one of the buttons as a brake. What has reinforced this idea is a new controller I have got recently, a Logitech Wingman. This has it's own two joysticks, a view hat, analogue throttle and six buttons. It's crap for flying planes but great for tanks and other vehicles. I got this for WWIIONLINE and found it was superb for vehicles there. I did like the way they have a separate config for each ride there as well. I can use standard joystick for planes and the gamepad for vehicles. Even different axis and button allocations between bombers and fighters. So any chance?"

I hate using the joystick that I use for flying when driving a tank etc.  Especially when I have other superb controllers for that task.  Any chance of a bit of help here please.

I'd like to use the mouse for buff gunning.
