Title: joystick flight controls
Post by: bloke on March 08, 2007, 06:09:54 am

This may be a silly question, but how do i roll the ship using the stick?

I roll using the rudder (the stick twisting on its base). You should map that axis in-game to make the ship roll, though.

And if you don't have a rudder twist on the joystick, you're stuck with rolling on the keyboard.

..How many axis are there on your joystick?  What make & model is it?

My stick has 4 axis (the standard X and Y, the throttle and the rudder), but when I configure it Windows says it has 5 axis :wtf:. It's a Trust GM-2500 Predator.

Well, the homepage is here:

I'm not sure what the 5th axis is, the manual .pdf I looked at was only one page.  I must have got the wrong one, but there were others you could check, as well as drivers...

Just go to the controls menu and select the "Bank axis". Move your stick to the right or left, and that'll be that :)
I've also configured my stick in this way :)

Also according to that description my joystick has only 4 axis... Maybe it's just a Windows problem... I dunno...
The important thing is that doesn't create any problem. And so far, it didn't :)
