Ok, settled with the fact that I cannot calibrate my stick when wanting to use mouse-freelook...
Deleted stick.cfg file and fired up the Track-IR software. New problem: when the Track IR software is running I cannot get AH to enter pan-mode... remapped the key, paused Track IR - no avail - AH refuses to enter pan mode... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Help needed! HT, please...
