joystick question...

Aug 18, 2008 chevmont link
Hello,

I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick that has a twist handle control feature. I was wondering if any knows of a way to get it to function in game?

The twist handle should show up as a third axis (or fourth, depending on whether the throttle axis shows up) in the Options->Input->Joystick configuration menu.

I thought that raybondo, but when I actually twist the handle it does nothing. I am not able to set the control to do any function either. I was thinking of using it as a left/right strafe function but can not set it up. Any ideas?

I used to use a logitech 3d pro , all 3 axis and throttle show up under joystick on a mac .

If its any help this is what should be generated in config.ini .

Thanks davejohn, that got it working! I basically copy/pasted your postinto into my file and now I have twist handle function. Still unsure as to why I could not set it up the normal way but I'm not complaining.

Yeah, that is odd. The joystick settings menu didn't show all your axes?

I have dual Saitek Evo's and my twisty stuff shows up fine.
