• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I know this was covered before the big crash, as it was my problem then. Quicksand Jr, who at the moment is without internet service, is experienceing the same situation now, and has asked me to help. He reinstalled Il2 1946 into his 'puter, which runs Vista, and his controller, a Saitek ST290 pro, has no functionality. This happened to me before, as I stated, but I did not document the solution, which I believe Huub helped me reach.. Anybody remember the solution?
 
Launch the game, go to the controls section, scroll down to the HOTAS section and make sure you have entered the correct axis commands so that Il2 will see the inputs from your stick.
 
Yea!!! I helped somebody!:jump:

Glad that worked, I know I've been tripped by forgetting to set up my controls in various sims.
