extra info:
i have a regular 2 axis 4 button joystick which used to work properly in ofp (and still does in other games), but since the latest update, the buttons dont appear to work correctly. the game still detects them because if i press them once, it will for example start the engine on the heli.
if i hold down the q button, the game is constantly getting messages from the keyboard to go up, but with the j/stick, i push and hold one of the buttons to make the heli go up but its as if the game cannot accept the j/stick button as being held down. it only picks up the pushing down of the button, not the holding of it.
i have a feeling this occured because of the joystick adjustments that were made in the latest upgrades:
"improved simulation of helicopters, planes and improved joystick support"
