CH Flightstick Pro Problems!

Hi,

I'm having some problems with my joystick.  Well, actualy I'm not
sure if it is a problem.  When playing Descent, the bottom and right
buttons don't seem to do anything.  Is that normal?

Thanks,

Tim.

Two things you may already have thought of - first, you have to tell
Descent specifically that you are using the CH Flightstick Pro - I
think it already has the other buttons predefined for something, but
you may also want to reset what they do. Second, and I don't know if
this is just the Flightstick Pro, but you can't use more than one
button at a time.

Hope this helps...

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..
