Cyborg Evo + other controllers in BF 1942

[Davis_DS]

I have been having the sam issue with battlefield using the Belkin Nostromo n52 and the Saitek ST290 Pro.. I renamed all the controller Ids from 0 to 1 and backed it up with the User.con file, Loaded BF 1942, The controls are labeled correctly, but when I load a game, the ST290 is still not recognized!, HELP!!

using user.con did not work, but changing controller from _0 to _1 worked for the air controlss. When I jumped out of the plane and used ST290 pro's Button 4 (programmed for the parachute) I fell to my death.

FIX:
The Parachute is a common command which is specified in Air.con, Infantry.con, & Land.con (THEY MUST MATCH). Since I allready set the air.con to read-only and ran BF1942 the new directory in "My Documents" already existed. Changes made as Follows...

1. Set all ORIGINAL files to writeable! (..\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\DS\Controls\Air. con ...)

2. Plug in your saitek controller ONLY (no nostromo n52)

3. Load BF 1942 and set the default controls.

4. Add your joystick commands where ever you want (common, land/sea, etc)

5. Save and close (don't need to play the game)

6. open Air.con first and change IDFGameController_0 to IDFGameController_1

7. Common controls are at the bottom of Air.con make changes accordingly.

8. Copy common section and paste into Infantry. con and Land.con so they match
9. Make changes in Infantry.con and Land .con for controller from _0 to _1 as applies.
10. Save Air, Infantry, and Land.con files and change property to READ-ONLY.

11. Copy Air, Infantry, and Land.con files to "My documents>BF1942>etc"

12. Plug in your nostromo n52 load BF 1942, and play...

You will notice that the controls in BF 1942 will be labeld as if it where the default settings. Alas when you load a game your joystick will work.. Since the nostromo n52 maps mouse and keyboard controls no changes should be made to BF controls, just mask the default controls to your nostromo with the profiler.. ENJOY!!

oh yeah

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIMouseLook IDFKeyboard IDKey_LeftShift c_CMPushAndHold
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIMouseLookX IDFMouse ...
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIMouseLookY IDFMouse ...

this section controls your mouselook in the cockpit.
Change to:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIMouseLook IDFKeyboard IDKey_LeftShift c_CMPushAndHold
ControlMap.addButtonsToAxisMapping c_PIMouseLookX IDFGameController_1 IDButton_7 IDButton_9
ControlMap.addButtonsToAxisMapping c_PIMouseLookY IDFGameController_1 IDButton_6 IDButton_8

this makes it function for the st290 pro...

Its a damn shame that i'll have to give up using a superior joystick for a far inferior one simply because of this stupid bug. A shame, but still the case.

It is a shame that the BF series has this problem. Did you guys ever get it worked out? If not, I would be happy to help ya....just let me know.

im using an x52 and a p2500 rumble, but the p2500 doesnt work (when i go to the control menu, click on what i want to edit, and press the button on the controler, it does nothing). Is this related to what you guys are talking about? how do i fix it? i tried the joyids thing but it didnt work.

this is related, you have to edit the air.con file to tell the game to use IDF CONTROLLER_1
