I am curious.  What is it about the joystick configuration seems to be difficult?

What exactly are your difficulties? Have you set-up a joystick before?

There's information as to joystick set-up here http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/

  I personally think the controller interface is among the best in the business! You simply goto map controls,select your controller and press a button to highlite it,then click on highlited button and select what you'd like to map to it.

  You may have to select to submenu,like global or flight,veiws etc to find the proper command but that's about it.


  hope that helps.

whole squad is working on it trap :)
 Not sure Skuzzy, I have x52 and I have tried calibrating in windows and ingame but no matter what I do,,, It stays the same, yet game recognizes my stick np. I even completely uninstalled my drivers and reinstalled after clearing regesrtry etc. If I pull back on stick it operates ailerons, if I pull yoke left or right, It works vater :( <S> all Im glad to be here where it seems everyone ended up :)

You have to assign the stick axis in the controller setup.

Using the image below this is how you map your controller axis.

Use the drop down box at the top left and select your stick (in the picture it has Saitek Cyborg Evo)

In the drop down box below that be sure it is set to Mode 1. (mode 1 is default for planes, mode 2 is for GVs. You can have two different mappings and switch from one to the other just by switching modes)

Click on the "Y Axis" to highlight it.

Click the modify button. When that window opens click the analog inputs and in that sub-menu select the Elevator axis. and click ok

Do this for each axis and click ok to finish modifying.

Each button on your controller can be mapped the same way. Open the mapping page, use the button on the stick that you want to map, click modify, and select the action you want to map to it and click ok.

Piece of cake  :)

Welcome to Aces High!  <S>

Almost makes me wonder if he's enabled an option somewhere to swap (not invert) the axis....

If he deletes the joystick's configuration file in the AH settings folder, shouldn't that fix/restore it if the problem is within AH?


Maybe the OP isn't aware that Map Controllers is where he should be finding/fixing his problem, and stick calibration is only stick calibration (it will not assign or change the functions)....


More info please Trymee if you still have this problem.

tried that too Babalonian :) I will get it. Im leaning towards it being what fugitive posted along with the Saitek drivers for windows 7 64 os when changing drivers, I may have messed up somewhere on the reinstall if all traces of previous drivers and sst software weren't deleted.

You do not have to install any drivers at all for Aces High to be able to use the stick.  The only reason you would need any drivers for Saitek is to make use of some of the buttons Saitek does not pass through to DirectX.

To which us mind readers must beg the question: In what way did you find/observe the feature as difficult?  Use?  Ease of accessing/finding the feature?  In what way can you see this feature being improved or expanded upon in doing its job?
