Nope.. Most likely, your game controler only supports one joystick.. To use
the extra buttons on your CH Flightstick Pro (and other similar joysticks),
your game controller card needs to support two joysticks...  This is because
the other buttons on the stick are mapped to joystick 2 buttons, as the
throttle is mapped on to the stick 2 Y axis..
