I don't know if this is an AH problem or a stick problem. I just got a Sidewinder PP2, USB and it works great in the game except for one thing: AH only recognizes 6 of the 8 buttons. I checked the controller panel in Windows and it recognizes all 8 buttons. Not a very big deal, but it is kind of inconvienient having to use the keyboard for flaps.
My system:
P3-866
128 MB ram
G-Force2
Windows ME
DX 8
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Strange, I use the exact same stick and use all 8 buttons in AH with no problems.
When you go into the Setup and stick mapping area in AH does anything happen when you push button 7 or 8?
BTW, there is one weird shift button on this stick that seems to do nothing for me. I don't know what it is supposed to do, but I can't map it in AH. I think it will only work with the SW profiler thingy. I think it's supposed to be a Shift button to allow a second set of commands for all the buttons on the stick, but I haven't gotten it working. Shame, I'd like to use it as the UP button. I'll have to try out the profiler and see if I can get it running.

I had something like this for a problem till I realized I hadn't finished up the install on the USB part of the stick install. Once I reran the install proggie for the PP2 USB it asked for my winblows cd and grabbed something from it. After a reboot magic everything on the stick worked properly!
GLuck!

Leph, that is indeed the shift button, and it only works with the Sidewinder Programming thingy. I don't think people really noticed it was there, as it's been removed from all the new models. Oh, and it doesn't work with the hat switch (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).

Sure hope u have disabled any profiles Mathman..
I use old MS Prec Pro, I map the shift button to change sec weapons. A button to look down, B button to look up, which allows you to use the hat at the same time.
