It doesn't let you assign one entire axis, it allows you assign only part of the axis (either + or - ). This is actually is a bug. I've been playing flight sims for a very long time. 99% of the games out there allow you to map Yaw, Pitch, Roll and Throttle to an axis. Have a look at this screenshot from Falcon 4. http://img.pilpoils.be/setup.jpg You can clearly see the throttle is mapped to an entire axis. Here's more screen shots of other games: http://jetart.free.fr/FAQ/joystick1.jpg http://homepage3.nifty.com/ysflight/ysflight/manual/ctlassign.png

Yeah, I totally forgot that with the X52 throttle top half is the Z- axis. I don't even use any of the Saitek software any more, not even the driver. I had calibration problems with driver, and the only fix based on the Saitek forums was to unplug the stick and delete some registry entries. I found that using the driver that ships with Vista works flawlessly, and I can even recalibrate at any time through the control panel. I'm not sure if the Pro version has the same issues. I had some issues using: debug = Joystick.someAxis As an alternative you can use the following: var.throttle = Joystick.z Then you can set the value of the var.throttle on the Variables tab. You can change throttle to anything and Joystick.z to the axis you want. GlovePIE is just plain awesome. With GlovePIE it's possible to apply deadzones, adjust sensitivity, map buttons to anything you want. Anyone know off hand if I can pass scripts through the command line? I would like to able to setup shortcuts for different scripts.

I finally figured out my issue. What ever you do, don't calibrate the PPJoy joystick through the control panel. If you do it by accident there is a reset to default on on the property of the PPJoy joystick. Removing and adding it back in doesn't help, Windows still keeps the calibration data in the registry, you have to reset it.

I had the same problem, fixed it by cleaning the existing pot. A guy on youtube posted on how to take the stick apart to clean it. Make sure you use Tuner Cleaner.

I've tried this before with no luck. I might have the wrong versions of Glove and PPJOY. Everything looked fine from GlovePIE debug but after mapped analogue throttle ( and unmapped inc/dec thrust). My throttle only seemed to work at 100%. I'll probably give it another try after work tonight. Quick question though... Shouldn't this: PPJoy#.analog2 = (MapRange(-Joystick.slider, -1, 1, 0, 1)) Be this: PPJoy#.analog2 = (MapRange(Joystick.slider, -1, 1, 0, 1))

My Saitek X52 does the same thing. You might have to adjust the deadzone a little. I've had some issues with Saitek stick. I had to use the driver that ships with Windows because I had calibration issues with the "updated" driver some Saitek. Also, after while I had to take the stick a part to clean the pot for the rudder control (twist action on the stick). Thanks to guy on youtube who made a video on how to do it.

I'm not sure if there is a modern day combat MMO but there is World War II Online

Not quite true, this issue has been around for a while. Have look here. The problem is Arma only accepts part of the axis (+ or - ) to map to a particular function. On my X52 the throttle is the Z axis, if I map analogue throttle to Z+ axis, throttle only works at 50% to 100%. If I map it to Z- axis, it only works from 49% to 0%. I've tried other solutions posted in the forums about using PPJoy and GlovePIE, but they still don't seem to work for me. The only solution for me that works is to unbind analogue throttle and bind Increase Thrust to Z+ axis and decrease thrust Z- axis. Have a search through the forums there a quite few threads around this.

I've seen admin's do this also when people try to connect with the ACE mod. This is one reason why public ban lists should never happen.

Hi All, I already have Arma 2 and I'm looking at buying Combined Operations today ( because I can't find OA standalone boxed ). Will the Arma 2 (1.07) saved campaign (haven't finished yet) be compatible with CO patched 1.07? Also if I uninstall the Arma 2 will it delete the progress of the saved campaign? I think it's all saved under documents and settings somewhere, just checking to be sure.

I'm in the same boat. I've tried the demo of OA and it seems to run much faster on my machine than Arma 2. My local best buy has Combined Ops but no OA. Might picked up because I don't like Steam because of the large download and lack of patching for Arma 2.

I have an X52 sitting in my closet for a while. If it loses it calibration you probably have to send it back. My axis started jumping around and support recommended unplugging the stick and deleting a registry key. This worked for about a week then started all over again. I've read posts about it's problem with the potentiometer in the stick they get dirty easily. The only resolution is to take the stick apart and clean regularly which is a chore and will void the warranty. Personally I would go with a Thrustmaster product, I've read great reviews on them.
