I'm not sure if you have the USB x36F x35t combination stick or the old analog gameport stick?

If you have the newer USB combination stick and throttle just download my profile offered on the Aces High downloads page.

If you have the old gameport analog version stick you have a real buggy stick that almost everyone gets rid of.

Good Luck

Sounds like an analog stick.

For combination views(up-forward) you will need to edit the config from 5: 8: to read 5: + 8: to get it to work.

Let us know which stick you have.  Someone will be more then willing to help you configure you stick    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

This stick, it is not the my, I use a MS Sidewinder FFB combined to a Simped Vario pedals,(when I am at home  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)).

When I am to the job and I have a pause, I use a Trust Predator Lite,  2 Axis 3 Buttons (no pedals)

This Joy is of a friend to the first experiences, he has bought him in offer, to about 25$, in a Big store.

It is the Gameport version, with keyboard attack type IBM Standard ( needs 2 adaptters for use PS2 keyboard).

It is only the Stick, without the handle.

But it create different conflicts in the PC and it doesn't come recognized in automatic, seems me that it is not very valid like tool ( think is a very old version), I with the my has not had any problem of compatibility or conflict ever.(In microsoft, they don't know how to do the O.S., but the hardware is excellent.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))

We are not been able to understand if he doesn't work correctly because we program the profile in wrong manner or if there is a real hardware problem. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

That's why reasons looked for a profile already edited to be able to install and try.

Thx for help guys.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Cheers.

If it is the analog version you can expect major bugs and problems. I'm not sure if anyone still uses that stick due to all the old problems, but if so maybe a couple can respond to help.
