archer950 0 Posted March 6, 2002 I use a Saitek X36 to fly the planes and choppers. The problem is that I mapped the buttons A and B for ascend and descend and they no longer work. However, the game does read the buttons because I tried to remap in the controls section and the buttons showed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALDEGA 0 Posted March 6, 2002 I should check this but... doesn't your joystick have a thrust slider? If so, you should use this one to increase/decrease power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer950 0 Posted March 10, 2002 no the joystick on the x36 doesn't have a slider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airwolf 50 Posted March 10, 2002 I have the same problem, i have a topgun thrustmaster, the reason i dont fly with the throtle is because the throtle support in ofp is horrible, i hope BIS reads this so they can include a bug fix in their next patch.

SnowGhost 0 Posted March 11, 2002 I have the same issue. I upgraded to 1.45, then 1.46 I can't gain/lose altitude with my joystick buttons. I could with 1.40 (not sure with 1.45, it didn't last long). I can do with with Q & Z. I am using a Logitech extreme 3D with their latest drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hbk 0 Posted March 11, 2002 same problem seems to go with any sticks / pads my sidewinder (pad) can't thrust the planes via buttons (can fire, still) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booradley 0 Posted March 11, 2002 I know there is a Saitek config tool for those joysticks, it might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactus 0 Posted March 11, 2002 Since BIS has corrected the issue with the throttle in the latest patch, have you tried to do a remap? I saw something about it in another thread. Try do go back to default configurations for all keys etc and the remap it. Well, only a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer950 0 Posted March 11, 2002 well I am glad to hear that I am not the only one with this problem. But at the same time I am sorry that we all have this problem. It gets really frustrating switching from the mouse to the keyboard to the joystick (or in our case keyboard and joystick). Please BIS fix the problem.

no dice 0 Posted March 14, 2002 I have the same problem with W2K and a Saitek Cyborg 3d stick. The 4.6 upgrade has a few new bugs with regards to this jstick. I used to have button 2 mapped to get down/up and under 4.6 you can map the button but it doesn't work in the game. Bring on 4.7! no dice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
