Speedlink Black Widow problems

[Tooslow]

Couple of questions that hopefully someone can answer for me.

I'm using a Speedlink Black Widow XE, which I've used with FSX with no problems.

I'm working through the tutorial missions. By which I mean I finally finished the first one.

For some reason when the mission starts the view is pointing off in some odd direction, which is easily sorted with a button press, but it's kinda annoying. Any way to stop this happening?

Second problem, my throttle is reversed. I went into the controls and re-defined it to be sure. +/- move the throttle as expected but the HOTAS throttle increases speed when you pull it back and decreases it when you push it forward.

Third problem, possibly - I'm assuming there's no way to change the sensitivity of the rudder controls, or the joystick deadzone in-game? When I go into the W7 Control panel and check the calibration it all looks fine, but the deadzone in-game for the joystick is massive, and the rudder controls are twitchy as heck.

Thanks in advance.

Well, duh. Found the answer to the throttle in the "Responses" menu, adjusted the rudder to a curve and, well I dunno about the joystick deadzone - shows as fine so I guess I'm imagining it.

Still not sure about the head view at mission start not being straight ahead.

It is not just you, I am running a saitek X-55 Rhino, and I get this too

Okay, I think I've sorted out my final problem - I went into settings-controls and removed all the mouse related setting for pilot head control. Seems to have fixed it.
