Here's a probably dumb noobie question for you all. I already searched to forum for joystick and did not find an answer (probably because it's so simple that I'm the only idiot that can't figure it out

).
Anyway, I just installed The Babylon Project 3.4a, and I cannot get the game to use my joystick. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong in the game itself or if it's something with the launcher or what.
The stick is a Saitek X52 rig. The launcher has it selected, and it works fine in Windows and other games. However, when I fly a mission, I get nothing from the stick, and when I go to the controls config, it will not read any inputs from the stick except the mouse buttons on the throttle quadrant. They read as a normal mouse input.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm certain I've used this rig in FS2 Open before, so I don't think it's simply incompatible. I suspect I'm missing a setting somewhere. Something simple like "turn joystick on" or something in the game.
