I was forced to reinstall my operating system last night due to a nasty virus that blew past my Anti-Viral software..
I have reinstalled AH2, but now my joystick isn't working properly in game.
The joystick is an old MS SIdewinder Pro, worked great before the system reinstall. When I calibrate the joystick in Windows, everything works fine. When I go into the game, calibrate in game, my x-axis (elevator) isn't working when I pull the stick straight back or push it straight forward. The only way I can get any elevator response is to input y axis at the same time. So, I can roll and get elevator input, but without the aileron input the elevator input isnt registering.
I have calibrated the thing a dozen times, both in Windows and in game. I can't figure out what is going on.
Any ideas?

It's USB , correct?
Try unplugging it and move to another slot.

Yes it is USB. Tried plugging into another port. Re-calibrated in Windows and in game, no luck. X-Axis is still dead when I pull straight back or push straight forward. X-Axis is fine in Windows though. I'm seriously confused.

How wierd. You've probably done the "usual" already I assume, updated drivers (don't forget to update your USB drivers too as this is a USB device. I have had devices partialy work before on me because I was using very outdated USB drivers), etc.? Does the game recognize it as a MS Sidewinder Pro from the controller menu? If you installed the game before instaling the stick, try uninstaling the game and reinstalling it... otherwise this is a wierd one, wish I could help more.

Yes, AH2 is seeing the controller as what it is. I'll check on the USB drivers.
As far as I can tell, the USB drivers are good.

Interesting, i have a logitech wingman stick, almost exact same thing. I can go down, but pulling back is very unresponsive.

EUREKA!
I figured out my error. I mistakenly assigned the elevator control to the x-axis and the aileron control to the y-axis. On a hunch, I just reversed it so that the elevator is set to the y-axis and ailerons to the x-axis. Viola! Problem solved.

:rofl :rofl WTG Pfactor, I'm glad you got it fixed. I've done much worse.

That's what I thought it likely was, but I also thought you just did a complete reinstall, so by default it should be mapped correctly.

Actually, the joystick wasn't mapped at all when I reinstalled AH2. I had to go through it all manually.
