Make sure you mapped the joystick in AH as well.  I believe you have to assign each axis a function when you first use a controller in AH.


ack-ack

  Make sure you have the joystick selected as the preferred controller for AH.  The default is the mouse, make sure you highlight your joystick.  (in the joystick setup screen of AH)

  If you do not have a FF joystick, make sure you "disable all forces" in the "forcefeedback" section under joystick setup.  

  Hope this helps!

Tried all that shane and maniacal when I took it apart was very dirty cleaned it and did what you guys said and still no joy.

  So I went and got a new one a siatek cyborg 3d with ff so far I like it alot BTW the old stick had about 1200 hrs on it I suspect it was just worn out it was only $20 bucks.
