I know that the models don't have any lateral settings. So if I were to give the herk II lateral and vertical thrust ratings how would i control them in game is what i am wondering. If you can bind the commands to a key then you can bind them to a extra controller through a controller programing interface Like Saitek SST.

You can already bind straifing to a key configuration. Check out the config settings in game.

Thank you, I hadn't noticed that. I am feeling nicely stupid and unobservent. So i am gathering that if someone wanted to control those with a joy those imputs would first have to be programed to be bound to an axis( i.e. Vertical Thrust axis; Lateral Thrust axis). Next you would have to add the ability to recognize additional controller numbers thru the direct X interface.

Pitch axis: joystick 1 X axis
Yaw axis: joystick 1 Y axis
Roll axis: joystick 1 Rx axis
Veritcal axis: joystick 2 X axis
Lateral axis: joystick 2 Y axis

I know this is simple to suggest. more than likely a pain in the but to put in but thats about how it would go in right?

Right now the code doesn't handle more than one joystick but that's being fixed.  Also, although it supports 6 axes it only polls 4 which means that it will only gather info on X, Y, rudder and throttle (if all on the same joystick).  The new joystick code will handle the same number of buttons (32), go from supporting a 4-way coolie-hat to an 8-way, properly handle all 6 axes and do all of this for 2 joysticks.

This new code probably won't hit an official version of FS2_Open until the next full point release but should be in test builds late next month.  The new joystick code requires the new control config code which in turn requires the new pilot file code.  There's a lot that has to go into this which is why it's taking so long to hit the public.
