Howdy,

After re-installing my FA for the first time in years I was glad to find a community that still upgrading it and active. I was poking through the boards looking for an answer to my problem, but I haven't found one yet.

I have a Saitek usb joystick that is recognized by the game for everything except flight control! When I load a mission I press esc and select joystick on the pull down menu but I get no control. This is odd because on the same pull down I can select rudder pedals and I can use my rudder by twisting the stick, I can select the thrust so I can regulate my thrust using the throttle on the joystick, and I can move my head around with the hat. The only thing that I cannot do is fire weapons or move with the stick, no matter what setting I use under the menu.

Any one else have this procblem?

have you calibrated the stick thru windows yet? And what stick are you selecting from the popdown menu inFA for this stick?

I agree, calibrate the stick in control panel. Even "plug and play" controllers need calibration in my experience.

Thanks. I got it working. I haqve a usb 4 port adapter that "confused the joystick when more than one thing was plugged in. So I unplugged everthing, but the joystick and it worked.

The problem occurred because the USB joystick 'registers' itself to a specific USB port address, so when you added the 4 port splitter you changed that address and the stick became 'lost'...
