Need controller help

**stew795** · 01-08-07, 07:03 PM

I know this has been addressed in the past, but could someone please help me with this. I cant fly any planes or choppers and it's getting frustrating (plus I wont be able to level up) and need help getting my joystick to work or do I need a different type of joystick (I currently have a logitech extreme 3d pro). Keep in mind im pretty computer retarded.

I went through the control panel and calibrated the joystick. Then I went in Bf2 settings tab and try to set my secondary controls as suggested. But i can only set one setting for each control. So i can only turn right or pitch forward.

Ex:
Steer right-Joy axis 0
Steer left- Joy axis 0
Pitch fwd-Joy axis 1
Pitch back-Joy axis 1

I try clicking on each section but it automatically gives the setting for both commands as shown above. So i set the 'steer right' by moving joystick to right and it sets both. And if I try and set 'steer left' by moving joy stick left it just says "multiple settings found" and clears the section.

I dont know if this makes any sense, but any suggestions would really help.

it automatically binds both actions to the axis as in joy axis 1 + and joy axis 1 - ...it is like that on my joystick....and i happen to use an xbox 360 controller (haha) but yea it should allow u to turn left right up down etc....

To set up a joystick, in the game go to "Options | Controls | Aircraft." Move your joystick throttle backwards. Now with the mouse click on the right-hand box next to "Accelerate" and then move your throttle forward. You should see "Joy Axis 3" or similar appear in the box. For the other controls, click "Steer Right" and twist the joystick to the right. For the next two controls, replace the existing mouse commands by clicking on the left box next to the text: click the box next to "Pitch Fwd" and move the joystick forward; "Roll Right" and push the joystick to the right. You want to make sure to get rid of the mouse moves assigned, or your mouse will fight your joystick (and win). Finally, set your fire and bomb buttons by clicking the box and then pushing the button you want to use; you might also set afterburner and flares. You can also assign the camera positions to joystick buttons or the joystick hat control (if you have one). Finally, make sure to hit the "Apply" button!

Thanks Hobbit!!!! Your set up got it working. Now I just have to apologize ahead of time for my shitty flying. I'll go practice on some other servers for a bit. [-o<
