In browsing the forums I have noticed a lot of people with joystick problems. Recently after an operating system reinstall I to had joystick problems using FS2_SCP. It took me awhile to figure it out but I was able to find the solution (at least to my problem).
First my setup:
Athlon 64 3200 (socket 754)
Albatron K8X800 Pro mobo
1 GB ram
1- 160Gb SATA HDD
1- 200Gb SATA HDD
eVGA 7800 GS CO 256 video card (AGP)
Saitek X36 USB Joystick + Throttle control.
The launcher found the joystick just fine but in game I couldn't control anything. What I found was in the Windows Game Controller under advanced options I had to select the X36 as the controller for older games. This fixed the problem no sweat.
Again this might not fix everyone's problem but it fixed mine. I had not read about anyone else offering this advice so I just put it out there to help.
