I have installed FSOpen 3.6.12 for the first time last night - everything went fine - and the Microsoft Sidewinder Prescision Pro I am using is detected and calibrates fine in the Launcher. However in game I have found that the throttle is not working at all, and the z-axis (Yaw) also appears not to work..? This joystick is the original, non-force feedback version, (a few years old now,admittedly), but all it's features do still work in other similar games.
I'm hoping this may be a known issue with this joystick, and ideally some kind soul can point me to a soloution, since using one of it's buttons for "Thrust" is currently the only way to move in any direction..!
Thanks in advance

PS: Don't know if it's relevant but I'm running it on WinXP sp3.

Have you checked the key-bindings in the options menu?  By default, throttle and twist are not bound to anything on the joystick, although having said that, Yaw & Pitch should be bound by default. 

And of course...



Edit: found the beams

Exactly - have those axises (axii?) actually been bound to anything?
