Your game only allow one joystick, but you have two (ie, stick and pedals)?
Or does your game use the wrong axis for the throtle (ie, Vietnam Medevac)?

Try these drivers (http://members.shaw.ca/coxswainballs/joy.rar).

It creates a "virtual joystick" and you can assign other real joystick axis to it.
Then set up the game (or the Windows default controller) to use the virtual stick. And bingo, you can control what axis is what and use multiple joysticks in ANY game.

More info in this thread (http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=140;t=000057;p=1).

It'll do the job untill Saitek fix the drivers.

I want this! There is only one problem, there is no x64 driver for PPJOY. Do you know workarounds?

This is what I want:
Create a virtual joystick so I can use multiple sticks, but my OS has to think its one.

I know what you mean. I have Vista Premium 64-bit and recently tried Ghostbusters for the PC with my P2500 joystick and in the game's "gamepad" mode it treats the RIGHT joystick as if it has the things flipped! Not up is down, but Up is LEFT and Down is RIGHT! I would love to use program that flips the things right for the game.

I know the joystick is fine because this is the *only* game that it does it in plus the joystick thing in control panel shows it moving in the right ways.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?:confused:

The original links are dead.

Here's the current link for it. http://ppjoy.blogspot.com/
As a bonus, the auther now has Win7, so made some x64 drivers.
