How to setup Logitech Extreme 3DPro

[OzBattla]

Hello everyone, total noob here, and this game is so far intimidating me. I purchased a Logitech Extreme 3DPro today, however have no idea how to get it working in game. Tried for example to set the Trim Elevator Nose-Up, an pushed forwards on the joystick, but nothing mapped. Like I said, total noob, kinda hoping for a step by step idiots guide or a download of a setup I can load. Totally confused, and beginners guide does not seem to cover this. Any help would be great.

Judging by some other posts.....its not going to work is it.....

First, plug your joystick in before you launch the game. It seems to only pick up controllers when they are plugged in prior to launch. Next, look towards the top of the Controls Options screen and you should see 2 tabs: 1) Keys 2) Axes. For joystick controls, you want to select the Axes tab. The Keys is primarily for your keyboard.

In the Axes section, you should see the primary flight controls 1) Aileron 2) Elevator 3) Rudder and further down is Throttle. At a minimum, these are the controls you should bind. Double click on the parameter to bring up the binding screen. Then move your joystick. The control should bind. Don't forget to click "Apply" before you leave the screen to ensure the binding sticks. It would be recommended to "Save As" your control settings in case you need to load it back later.

For this controller, aileron would be left-right, elevator would be forward-back, and rudder would be twist left-right. The throttle tab can be set to control the throttle. You might have to click the "reverse" option for throttle if it seems to be going in the wrong direction. For trim, I would bind those to one set of buttons on the controller (one for trim nose up and one for trim nose down).

For some reason, not all of the button bindings work. For example, I could not bind for mixture so I just use the keyboard. I'm guessing it has something to do with a "repeat" loop which I notice other controller drivers have and this one apparently does not.
